Yes, but he was our nutter. He's in Tunisia's provisional squad so I might watch Eng-Tun after all. he's a possible twatball goldmine, but he also scores headers

Shrewsbury retained list
Out of Contact Players Offered New Deals:
Craig MacGillivray
Junior Brown
Abu Ogogo
Lenell John-Lewis
Craig is a decent keeper - I hope he stays. Junior hasn't come back from a knee injury yet so not sure why he's been offered a contract, but it is probably the decent thing to do. Abu finished the season injured and his absence contributed to the two Wembley failures. I don't know why "The Shop" has been offered a new contract as he's barely featured. But the club has a striker shortage.
Out of Contract Players with Extensions:
Arthur Gnahoua
Alex Rodman
The contract extensions triggered automatically. Rodman is getting on a bit, but a decent player.
Out of Contract Players Released:
Shaun Rowley
Joe Riley
A-Jay Leitch-Smith
Seems harsh on Riley as he had some decent spells in the side.
Currently Under Contract:
Cameron Gregory - new academy pro
Mat Sadler - club captain
Omar Beckles - league one team of the year and apparently attracting interest
James Bolton
Luke Hendrie - barely featured
Zak Jules - barely featured
Aristote Nsiala - attracting interest apparently
Ryan Sears - youth product
Christos Shelis - youth product
Shaun Whalley
Bryn Morris
Sam Jones
Jon Nolan
Abo Eisa - signed from Wealdstone last season and looked lively when he played
George Hughes - new youth product
Ryan Barnett- new youth product
John McAtee - new youth product
Stefan Payne - top scorer last season although reduced to super sub role towards the end

Originally posted by JM Footzee View PostWatford have only got one first-teamer out of contract - Miguel Britos is the oldest (33 in July) of a bloated, ageing centre-back pool that was put together for a 3-5-2 formation we're not currently playing. He has been prone to the occasional slip-up since arriving three years ago and hasn't got back in Gracia's team since returning from an injury that kept him out for several months, so I suspect he'll depart.
Originally posted by JM Footzee View PostAmong the development side, I suspect UK recruitment director Andy Scott, who was recruited from Brentford in November, might not be too impressed with the players who've come through the academy and is having a shake-up (he's already announced plans for an extra B team like Brentford have). They've announced we're releasing seven under-23s (only one of whom, Carl Stewart, got a few fleeting minutes in the first team) and five of the seven second-year scholars (Harry Forster is the only player to get a deal, while the status of Reece Stray is yet to be clarified).
Originally posted by JM Footzee View PostFour have unclear contract situations - Charlie Rowan and Brandon Mason both failed to break into the teams at Accrington and Dundee United after arriving on loan in January (the former got no minutes whatsoever), while Sam Howes and Harvey Bradbury (son of Lee), both of whom joined last summer from other clubs, seem to have had reasonable loan spells in the lower-leagues. More positively, three of the current first-year scholars already have professional deals, although, again, two of them were late summer 2017 additions to the original intake (I did not plan to write this much on the kids, sorry).

I thought a similar thread had already been started...? Never mind.
Been quiet so far, probably till Schteve has had good look at everyone.
Gone:
James Perch, Jay Emanuel Thomas, Jamie Mackie, Nedum Onuoha, and (almost certainly) Jack Robinson.
Plus a bunch of kids from the academy.
Ned will be be the big miss. Team captain and ultra-reliable CB, he'll be tough to replace. Took a lot of unwarranted abuse from some of our "fans" who, now he's gone, might realise just how important he was.

TBF nothing concrete but I was sharing the assumption most people I know have, that if we can't tempt Junior Brown to stay... I'm not moaning or miserable, it's normal service really. I'm quite optimistic about Askey so long as he manages to get hold of some actual footballers.
