Yeah, I've not yet been through and made the updates from the last couple of days... was just checking if there was anything else I'd missed other than the things I listed at the top of the previous post.

Gunn contract is an absolute priority.

[shefcanary 2,854]

Here's my updated table, hopefully fully updated after yesterday's shenanigans. I am surprised Springett and Tomkinson are still here.

It is a very young squad, and the news of Hanley today not even making the squad accentuates that. Still 6 named squad places up for grabs if an "unattached" player becomes available.

Was waylon reneke released (perm move overseas?) Or did I dream that one?

[wr4sb 52]

There was talk of him going to FC Copenhagen I think but not sure if it happened. I think Tomkinson was also linked with a move away but again don't know if anything happened.

Both still listed on the U21s squad page, and nothing on the club site (or anywhere else that I can find) to suggest they've left the club.

[Canary Wundaboy 1,409]

Sargent’s 2028? That’s good.

I can see a fair few expiring in 2025 that I wouldn’t be extending, and I think Sorenson’s time is probably up with that too.

[Feedthewolf 5,686]

Interesting that a fair few of our younger players haven't been sent out on loan. Perhaps Thorup wants to make our PL2 side as strong as possible so he can keep an eye on them until January? The following are likely to be available for our U21 games:

Mair, Ansen, Finch, Warner, Tomkinson, Renecke, Mahovo, Gee, Wilson, Doy, Springett, Welch, Djedje, Manning, Myles, Forsyth, Forbes, Bridge, Brooke, Mundle-Smith, Ogwuru, Roberts.

That's 22 full-time pros to choose from, and presumably a few of them will also be able to pad out the first-team squad if we get injuries/suspensions.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,469]

Regarding Gunn, I genuinely think he and his agent should realise playing for Norwich is his level. 

No way Gunn gets a starting slot at an EPL club.

...unless it's with us. So yeah, I think it'd definitely be the best move for his career to sign a new deal here. If he excels for us and for Scotland then you never know, but this project feels like the best place for him at this moment in time. Hope we can get him tied down soon.

As for the others who are out of contract next summer, I think the only ones we should look to extend (from what I've seen, anyway) are Warner, Djedje and possibly Sorensen if he can overcome his injury problems and bond with Thorup. His versatility seems to fit Thorup's style nicely, plus he's Danish, which might work in his favour. I guess I wouldn't be averse to Long extending his contract as an experienced backup goalkeeper, he's not great but acquitted himself reasonably well when Gunn was injured last season.

[chicken 3,002]

Only thing re Gunn is that he'll be 29 by the end of this season.

If he does harbour hopes of a top tier contract somewhere then being available on a free might open up more oppertunities.

A 3-4 year contract now pretty much is his last peak level lengthy contract. He might be good enough still at 32-33, but realistically, in terms of chances, this could be his last best chance to potentially find top tier champions league level football.

Not saying he won't stay, but he has left twice before...

Waylon Renecke has left the building.

2026 Núñez, Springett (+1), Stacey, Duffy, Sainz, McLean (+1), Welch (+1), Barden, Ansen (+1), Mahovo (+1), Forbes (+1), Bridge, Gee (+1) (13 players, 7 with an extra year)
2027 Aboh (+1), Fisher, Hills (+1), Forsyth (4 players, 2 with an extra year)

Unknown Reyes, Adegboyega, Renecke, Myles (4 players)

25 of that list are 21 or under. With 12 of them teens, I'd say we have seriously reduced the age profile of the squad. I had completely forgotten that Springett existed. And am really surprised he is still with us. No interest from other clubs?

My analysis shows that the average age of the 52 players on our books (including loan players) is 22.63. So ostensibly not that low when you consider that more than half are qualified as under 21's under EFL rules. However the 7 over 30 do rather age the squad, no matter what people think of their quality. I really am struggling to see how that 7 end up starting more than 100 matches in total this season and if McLean or Duffy end up injured for a long period, it will be considerably less than that.

Further update now the formal submission of the named squads have been submitted. 

Norwich City confirm 23-man Championship squad to the EFL | The Pink Un

The club have included a handful of lads who are designated in the U18's on the web-site as being part of the U21 squad, thus increasing the number of named players to 58 in total, in the end only 4 down on the equivalent named squads last season.

My very tentative estimate is that this reduces the gross salary of playing and coaching staff to c.£23m (but there is a very big health warning around this), with an average age across the 58 of 21, down from 23 a year before so confirming Knapper has changed the age profile of the squad as he wanted to do.

Another interesting aspect is only 7 out on loan (one of whom Rowe is unlikely to return) compared to 11 the season before, thus net of loaned players, ostensibly Thorup has the same number of players to work with as Wagner did, if just less experienced.

There are also 13 of the 23 over-21's who have contracts running out at the end of the season (two in on loan, six the club have an option on) and as noted elsewhere Gunn is the one who has no option we probably want to see retained.

This is not some arbitrary allocation, these are the lads who have been awarded Professional Contracts.

And it is lovely to see that the Pink 'Un have even managed to squeeze at least one error into their cut n' pasted copy 😒
