Apparently it’s to do with what happens with Bennett, Bamba and Tomlin as it’s still all unclear.

Can’t see Sol being given a player contract , but hopefully he will stay on working as a coach.
Bennett a difficult one , leaves on a free , but a million or so to replace ? Either way costs the club money and probably the same as giving Joe what he thinks he expects.
But given his current injury , a hell of a risk to give him a long term contract.
As for Tomlin , is he not still under contract ?

Sol it’s still unclear.

Bennett apparently was only offered a low one year one.

Tomlin yes one year left but I am hearing they would love to move him in, but not so easy to do.

Tomlin needs to come back to pre season FIT before anything can be done. Onus clearly on him if he comes back fit there are a couple of clubs who’d take him on a free on a 2 yr contract. That might entice him but who knows.

It’s more likely that Bamba will go and Vassel (on loan). Couple of others are likely to go to free up wages and to bring players in.

Karl,

Tomlin has to change his attitude and has to be fully fit, he is 32 years old now and still not changed.

Hi Annis,

I think he’s at the last chance saloon with us.

MM doesn’t rate him due to his attitude and it’ll be no surprise to see him go one way or another. I think there will be a few surprises about some outgoings even though I’d mentioned in January that Hoilett, Bennet and Bamba would be leaving.

MM knows who he wants and I hope he gets them. Should be an enjoyable transfer window.

Probably so he gets a new contract and then he can return to his usual self.
