Adams - 50/50
Roca - 80/20 gone
Koch - 60/40 gone
Summerville - 50/50
Gnonto - 60/40 stay
Sinisterra - 60/40 gone (injury record might put potential suitors off)
Harrison - gone
Meslier - gone
Drameh - 70/30 stay (but will need assurances re game time)
Rodrigo - gone (sadly)
Aaronson - 50/50 (don't know who'd pay for him given how poor he was this season)

Don’t see any loans tbh
Interesting you have Rodrigo so low ...the rest, I'd probably say, are spot on

Just a gut feeling really. He often seemed one of the more passionate players. Gets a lot of stick but ultimately one of the few who came out of the season with any credit. Also he could get a hatful in the Championship

One thing Orta did right was tie certain players up with release clauses and relegation wage reductions.

It would be foolish to offload everyone and rebuild from scratch when the season starts in just under 2 months, it's just not going to happen.

We are being taken over by a huge sporting enterprise worth billions and everyone outside the club thinks we have to sell our assets on the cheap.

Selling Rodrigo (€27m) a Spain international for €3.5m to R. Madrid's bench, is clearly a cheeky low offer, when he has time on his contract and his release clause must be around €10m, unless we don't get a high fee then we don't need to sell him, he'll score goals in the Championship.

If players want to leave then they do so at their contractual release price, they can't argue when they agreed to it.

SF49 will want Leeds auto promoted at the first attempt, it gets expensive and a slog after that and I believe we can do that with tenacious negotiations on sales and sensible purchases/loans.

Leicester have problems because they have some very high earners under contract with no release fees or wage reduction fees included which is going to eat up their parachute payments, Leeds United are in a far better financial position than any club in the Championship.

To be honest, I don't know who will stay & who will go.

Firstly, the 49ers will be looking for an immediate return to the Premier League so won't wish to have a total clearout.

The other factor is, which PL clubs are going to be interested in our players.

After saying that, I think Rodrigo, Roca, Meslier, Harrison & Aaronson are 100% chances to leave ER, wouldn't surprise me if Summerville pushes for a move as he is somewhat temperamental.

This I'm banking on and if not
then the board remains clueless.

Would all still make very good players at championship level.

Undecided on Robles or Melier.

Wober, Good defensive capability.
Tyler Adams', Best from the American trio
Harrison, Still has time to improve further.
Rodrigo, Would maybe hit 20+ in form
Sinisterra, Powerful striker of the ball.
Summerville, Pace and wins plenty of free kicks.
Gnonto, Could become the best championship player on the left.

I personally hope the above will all stay & Perhaps kristensen as he was starting to improve by the end of the season. A few of the u21,s
We definitely need some good additions too.

I hope we are looking at incoming players. Whoever stays or leaves we need a number 9 from an English side who is a proven goal scorer. We also need a quality number 10 who has flair. With our squad even losing or moving on 10-15 players with 2 incoming we should make top 2

Dramah played 2/3rds of a season for Cardiff and was voted their player of the year, he then went on to be the form right back in the Championship last year.

Charlie Cresswell has been immense for Millwall, their fans couldn’t believe we’d sent him there for a year while our own defence was struggling like an U11s defensive line.

I think Wober has been one of the clubs better signings and has showed the commitment, skill and anticipation of a very good Centre half.

Firepower has been exposed for a lack of pace at Premier League level but in the Championship that would be less of an issue. He then offers us a bit of quality going forward but above all else he’s shown some passion for the club.

iMO that could be a good foundation for a team to get promoted back to the PL.

I agree its very hard to predict this right now.
Surely it will, to a large extent, depend who who comes in as manager, his desired style of play and contacts from prior engagements? Would we really have 3 Americans right now if we didn't have an American coach for much of last season?
Of course the same logic replies to who comes in to replace Orta - where he has focus and contacts, and where he has leverage.

I also agree with who you feel will definitely leave. I would add to that list Adams and (hopefully) McKennie.

We are going to need to find an experienced goalkeeper. VDH did really well for the U23's last season, but can he be thrown in as first choice from the start of the new season??
I'm also concerned about a real striker. Losing Rodrigo and continued uncertainty around Bamford means a giant hole there. I do hope Rutter stays and a new coaching team and get him back on track. Personally I think he was mismanaged since coming to the club. He should excel in the Championship.

I may be in the minority here, but I'll be sorry to lose Harrison.

Totally agree with you about Wober. For me he's a potential captain. I hope we can keep him.

Rodrigo getting back in the Spain squad surely suggests he will be on a plane. At this stage of his career a season in the Championship will do sod all for his profile. He may have strong feelings for the club but they are unlikely to match his personal ambitions. For me he is a cert to move on.

Can’t blame him given the point at which he’s at in his career…32 years doesn’t leave much room left. But he clearly grew into loving the shirt and it showed this past season (and late last season). I doubt many would begrudge him if he left for the opportunity to represent his country, and a high profile nation at that.

Spot on, Joe. He's had a stop-start time with us, was never really a Bielsa fit, though even then he showed flashes of what he could do when played as a striker. This season he has shown fight, commitment and an eye for goal, all of which have possibly resurrected his international career. Good luck to him if he does go, though I'd love him to give us a season as I think he'd score a bagful in the EFL if he stayed fit.
