22 senior players on the retained list in discussions with 2 more and JM still to be added . That could take our squad to 25 with no departures.

Obviously players will move on, Vente for example.

I wonder how many more will be moved on and what size of squad we will have.
Good point - it struck me that our sustained upturn in form and squad morale partly coincided with us getting down to a leaner squad, without the unplayable discontented squadfillers like Luke Amos and Harry McKirdy / Nohan Kenneh hanging around the training ground and bringing the atmosphere down.

When you're down to a leaner squad, of good characters like Iredale, the Caddens, Dwight Gayle, and everyone at training feels they have a realistic chance of being in the matchday squad, and contributing to the team, it has to help with the atmosphere and the dynamics of the club.

Fair play to Malky Mackay for getting as many out the door as he did in the course of last season.

Now it's time for Tavares and Delferriere, and (more lucratively) Vente and Youan to either buy in to the European dream or move on
