With an expected turnover of players this summer, I thought I would see which ones are out of contract in 2023 and those who will have another year to go. 2023 Choudhury Option to buy Davis Had to buy if promoted Kamara on loan to us Cleverly Cathcart Bacuna Assombalonga Araujo on loan to us Martins on loan to us Blake Grieves Virtually all the young players 2024 Bachmann Ngakia Gaspar Sarr Hamer Kabasele Morris Hungbo Pussetto Quina This is based on the latest information I can find, so there could be some errors. It's a good starting point to make your selections on who to let go as out of contract, and those you might hope to get a fee for.
Of those Sarr would be the only only one we might get good money for. Gosling has been released I think but Cleverley was in talks for a new contract according to Adam Leventhal. Haven’t heard anything about Cathcart through but you feel he might be kept on as an experienced squad player . We cannot just literally get rid of everyone of course even if people want to . Presume we won’t keep Bacuna or Britt on after their short term contract runs out ?
There are players on longer contracts such as Pedro, and we know that if the right offer came in he would be sold. I wonder about Bachmann. Will he want an improved contract? His place in the national team is not certain, so will he have an agent looking for somewhere other than Watford.
Agree on both . Bachmann seemed to blame the team performances and lack of goals for him being dropped a while ago . https://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-...ision-strong-slap-face-frustrated-season-far/ Surely that wouldn’t go down well with others?
Its only stating the obvious and if it doesn't go down well with the rest of the team, they should look at themselves.
I agree we have lacked goals but there will be many who say we haven’t got a decent trust worthy keeper either although maybe that is harsh on him .
The team of two years ago would have been almost guaranteed auto promotion this season with their work ethic and confidence, last season has left too many of the players we depend on devoid of confidence
