Surprised at O'Keefe retainment, maybe could be given a chance under Warnock afterall

Obie Wan Shinobi or known as Ogo Obi :laughing5: - we only signed him a few months ago, whats that all about ??

Very surprised with some of those retained. Thought Camp and O'Keefe would be gone. I can't see either of those getting a game. Maybe looking to try to sell them for a fee?

O’keefe is still under contract so can’t be released.
An Ogo Obi only had a contract till the end of last season.

Glad Jamie Veale has been offered a new deal. Really like his style and has played Defensive Midfield in the U-23 games I have seen, also a good leader and takes a wicked penalty!

They still might go if someone is daft enough to take them. :D

There’s also no mention of the legend that is Fred at all.

I have heard some favourable reports about Sion Spence. But how on earth will we ever find out how good he is ?

ALL players who have contracts are obviously on the retained list....doesnt mean we want them here...just means we are not paying up their contracts

think its going to cost us a chunk of his contract to get shot of O Keefe..
Camp i dont think is on as much money so maybe easier to shift on..

I would think Warnock would like to move on at least 6 of his retained list but they are all under contract so he will have to more or less give them away or loan them out,Camp,O’Keefe,Tomlin,Bogle,Healey,Pilks,Connelly? Only 25 allowed in Premiership Squad, surprised Meite and Murphy offered new contracts no where near Premier League standard.

Such a strange signing Fred.

A bit like Saadi - he's been here a couple of years, been injured for most of it and has hardly played. Rarely on the bench, hardly ever seen in public and is an absolute enigma.

Did anyone see him at the bus parade?

I'm beginning to wonder if in fact he was just a figment of our imagination.

Also, with the best will in the world, the only way to describe his on the field contribution was "f*cking shit".

An absolute waste of money for the entire length of his contract he will always be remembered for one of the worst misses I have ever seen in the first game against Birmingham the season before last.
