Contracted players next year

Well-known member
I appreciate it has been discussed before, but does anyone have a full list of who is contracted to us next year, who has an option on them, and who is out of contract.
Many thanks in advance
 
Here you go buddy.
The new head of recruiting & manager have got a huge job on their hands 🍊
We have 9 players contracted beyond the end of the season and 9 players who we have options for a further year (Lavery has an option). Out of the 9 with options can only see 2 or 3 being taken on.

In addition we also have an option on Matty Virtue, Reece James on contract for another season, Tharme and Casey for another season plus 1 year option, and the likes of Rob Apter and the development squad. We have a lot of players !

Out of those expiring this year with or without an option I would only keep Connolly and Lavery, anyone think differently
 
We're going down so I'd keep them all some damn good players there especially at L1 level. Some will leave such as Yates because they're too good.
 
He's better than anyone else that has played in that position this season, including Ekpiteta.
He very rarely let's the team down despite the way he's been treated. Would have been easy for him just to down tools and various points of his Blackpool career.
Also, Robinson said he was Oxford's best player until we recalled him last season.
 
Jerry Yates
Marvin Ekpiteta
Tom Trybull
Sonny Carey
Doug Tharme
Rob Apter
Daniel Grimshaw
Dom Thompson
Jordan Gabriel
Andy Lyons
CJ
Hubby
Shane lavery

Owen Dale To be sold?
Oliver Casey Good enough?
Reece James To be sold?
Jake Beesley Serious injury?

If we can keep hold of the 13 in the top list, especially Jerry that's a base to build on. I would be doing all I could to sign Thorniley on a new contract but the rest I'd let go.
 
I don’t doubt his ability at L1 level, but he’s not a regular starter at Championship Level for me. We’ve been poor defensively this season.

Why sell Dale ?
 
I notice Oliver Norburn (Peterborough) has returned from injurey, and an upturn in there performances. I believe agreed a fee for him before he was injured.

It’s absolute fantasy football manager this thread . We don’t have the resources or scouting network to sign 12 new players unless we go back to the Oyston era 24 man ‘trialist’ era. I expect most of the options to be taken, and Madine to be allowed to ‘train and regain his fitness’ before signing a new 1+1 deal in January and once again becoming our first choice striker.
 
Agree about not being able to recruit 10 to 12 players in the summer (we only managed 1 or 2 permanent signings last summer?). So we'll take the option on a few and recall the loanees.

I think we'll struggle to keep Jerry but I hope we can. On Friday, I thought some of our players looked like they already knew they were off elsewhere (not just the loans), hope I'm wrong.

There are 3 or 4 injury crocks in the 2023 option list. I'd like to see "pay if you play" deals for 1 or 2 of them, but I realise that's unlikely

We only signed 1 or 2 as there was no space in the squad.
The injury crocks do not deserve considering
Madine is a disciplinary and injury liability
There will be lots of good players released, and we need space to play the market.

Even from that we can still put together a strong league 1 side.
 
At some point potential has to be given an opportunity and given the performances of the development squad this season you would like to think one or two will emerge particularly if we do finish up in League 1.

The whole idea in the first place has been to create something that creates from within.We may get an insight albeit small into that in the remaining 6 matches.

I would be gobsmacked if Dobbie doesent reach out to what he knows if only to freshen things up from the bench.

Thorniley major concussion concerns and there will be better
Keshi has missed loads of matches over the last 2 years maybe pay as you play
Kenny played second fiddle to youth players, I truthfully cannot remember him having a positive impact in any game this season
Hubbie maybe
Lavery shunted out wide will be good in L1 played supporting a big striker
