I think MJ has struck a good balance to give him scope to bring in some real quality. Can't wait to see who he has got lined up to come in. This will be a very interesting summer.

I don’t know why they call it a ‘retained list’ surely they only become retained if they agree to the new deals. Shouldn’t it be called the released list?
Agree with MJ’s decisions though.

Surprised people questioning Woolford. He's been absolutely fantastic under Jolley.
Seems a sensible list to me. Focus budget in the priority areas - new CB, new wingers and STRIKERS!!!
Everyone also assuming that those offered contracts will stay and be first choice. Wouldn't be surprised if Woolford, Collins and Summerfield have been offered reduced terms.
do you really think he's been fantastic? thought he had an awful first half at fgr and wasn't much better at cov. don't want to be cruel but in the games he's played under jolley i've only thought of him as a slight improvement upon berrett (berrett a 4/10 man, woolford a 5.5/10 man , if that makes sense!)

Didn’t realise quite how many players we had until seeing this list. Really really poor recruitment last year and January.
The offered new deal/ already to be here already looks much younger!
Hopefully all that have had deals offered accept, certainly not a given.
Would like to see Vernam return next term. Looked a real handful in the games I saw him.

I'm sure we'd let Dixon go if someone else wanted him but no need to make any moves to get rid. Fox will be first choice and Dixon is an adequate back up if needed.
Kelly is a bit different as he's so far down the midfield pecking order I can't see him ever playing.

Assume Clements will go too and Kelly and Dixon will have contract ended by mutual consent or paid up.
Like others only ones disappointed about is Zac Mills going and Woolford offered new deal. Also sad to see Davies go but hes getting too old now.
Like the fact that Jolley is sticking with the youngsters Clifton, Wright, Akeem Rose and Dembele and we should have scope to bring in around 10 players maybe more if some dont agree contract renewal.
Gonna be a busy and exciting summer

Surprised by Mills as, expecting a smaller squad, he offers excellent versatility across the back. He wasn't too shabby in midfield either. As others have said though, I suspect he's sorted elsewhere so little point in offering him a deal.
Woolford's an interesting one. Very good under Jolley in that central role but as forza points out that potentially leaves us with a midfield of Rose, Summerfield, Clifton and Woolford. Also Woolford was a lot better in a 3-man midfield as it helped hide his lack of pace (he's not alone in that one either), I wonder if that's part of the plan for next season to go with lots energy and pace in the front three. I suppose Fox and Hall-Johnson are energetic from full-back too it would make sense.

Have to agree with a lot of that list. Would’ve liked to see Mills retained though.
Few jibes about Dixon and Kelly. I think all the squad should start with a clean slate next season. It may be that these players will feature and find form.

rumoured to be on £2.5k per week so definitely need to get rid if at all possible! still hopeful that we can be shot of him if its true that his family have moved back to Scotland. Perhaps we could persuade motherwell..........
