RETAINED LIST

[SallyCinnamon]

Berahino, Hutch and Dunkley gone.

 

New contract offers for Hunt, Luongo, Mendez-Laing and Wildsmith. 

[Dutch McLovin]

Gutted about Hutchinson.

 

[BIG D]

Release Hutchinson and offer Wildsmith a new deal. 
What a fantastic start to our transfer dealings.

So the 4 page topic about Hunt not getting a deal was a waste of time. Good choice offering deals with Luongo and Hunt. They’re integral in a 352 and to why we improved so much from January. Sad to see Hutch go but maybe it’s for the best. He didn’t cover himself in glory during the play offs and younger, fitter centre backs will be an improvement im sure. But what a servant to the club. Modern day legend

Surprised by Hutchinson.

 

Appreciate he made that mistake in the first leg, but I thought he was by and large excellent tbh.

 

Ability to play anywhere along the back three was very useful.

 

Oh well. Suppose it depends on what we bring in.

 

 

[Inspector Lestrade]

Hunt and Bershino were leaving yesterday?

Berahino been released 

[Fablon Dunlop]

Am I being stupid or when it says 'contract offers' does that mean the players have accepted them? Or they still have the option to leave? 

[WalthamOwl]

Not sure why we are offering Wildsmith a new deal. We can’t go with Dawson and Wildsmith as our keepers imo. Shame about Hutchinson, think he still has a lot to offer us. Will miss him.

No, means they may still leave.

The Owls can confirm our player retention list following the conclusion of the 2021/22 season.

Saido Berahino, Chey Dunkley and Sam Hutchinson will be released upon the expiry of their current contracts, while the club have exercised an option to retain Marvin Johnson.

New contract offers have been made to Jack Hunt, Massimo Luongo, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Joe Wildsmith.

Loanees Harlee Dean, Lewis Gibson, Tyreece John-Jules, Florian Kamberi, Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Olamide Shodipo and Jordan Storey return to their parent clubs.

Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank all departing players for their services and wish them well for the future.

[WorrallOwl17]

To the players we’ve offered deals to, I actually can’t see Luongo and NML sticking around. Think they’ll both reject and seek moves in the championship. Fully expect Hunt to sign up 

[BIG D]

So Dawson and Wildsmith will be our keepers. There’s no other way to read that. 

[Pieman]

Makes a lot of sense to me.

[owls79]

Interesting with wildsmith can see Dawson leaving now.

Think you are looking a bit too much into that.

Thank you. 

 

Wasn't sure if it meant, we've offered, they've accepted and it's business as usual.

An offer is an offer - it can be accepted or declined - a decision which can be financial or opportunity-led.  No guarantees of acceptance

[Screen Door Slams]

Ah well.

[StudentOwl]

Wouldn't have offered one to Wildsmith, unless we're planning on a campaign with Dawson and Wilsmith here as the two goalkeepers? Not sure how I feel about that... unless Dawson has a move lined up? Wildsmith number 2 again? NML is another one where I'm a bit ambivalent.

 

Other than that, it regrettably makes sense. Hope we bring in lots of players in their early 20s. Have to bring the average age of the squad down
