Saw some guy tweet it (based on the shirt numbers on the online shop) then Adam Pope tweeted pretty much exactly the same 5 minutes later

Updated with the release of three of our young goalkeepers - Male, Miazek and Huffer. Also sad to see that Theo Hudson and Matthew Downing have apparently also been released. The former looked a good, if slightly lightweight, player, and the latter had battled his way back from a horrific injury. I wish them all well in finding a club who will look after them.

I know that Wikipedia is not always a convincing place for information, but the site below does give an updated status of the youngsters currently at the club.

Funny - I saw Sam Greenwood on there and wondered if we'd actually signed him. I clicked on his name and it says he's a 31 y/o Canadian poker player.

We may need to add a keeper or 2 then for the 21/18's

Assuming Dani Van Den Heuvel as the U18 and Caprile the U23 it doesn't leave much depth unless we start Kiko in the 23's. Assuming he stays of course. Be interesting to see who we start on the bench at GK come Liverpool.

We haven't officially signed him yet, but it looks like he is definitely on the way. Very talented Sunderland born 18 year old from Arsenal. I think we are still haggling on the fee and add-ons, which will be in the millions not the thousands.

We have Matt Turner (18 year old 3rd year scholar) and a couple of 17 year olds lower down, who will pad out the U18's. Van Den Heuvel may be pushing Caprile for the U23 jersey.

I think Kiko will be staying as understudy to Meslier.

Still woefully short of some extra Quality. Koch replaces White, Rodrigo for Nketiah, I’m thrilled with the two signings but you can’t help feel we’re still at least two more short

another central defender and midfielder and I will be happy.
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.
