So, chaps, who are the outs? Got my tin hat on, so here goes: all loaners except Ramazani, James, Gnonto, Piroe, Perri, Gruev, Longstaff, Arronsen all sold.
1.) 25 May 2026

To go. Ramzanni, Willie G, Piroe, Gruev or Tanaka (preferably Gruev) , Joffy, Schmidt and Wober, and eventually Joseph when he's fit. Aaronson and Pascal will go if they don't sign new contracts. If they do, then I think they will be retained.
Dan James and Harrison should go, but we'd have to take a hit in buying out part of their contracts. DJ has 3 years, and JH has 2 years.
Nmecha has one year left, so a decision to make.
All of the others out of contract, such as Mez and Byram, are gone.

Are you sure Harrison has two years left on his contract? Seems like at least four years since he signed a five-year contract.

Signed a 5 year contract until June 2028 as far as I can see.

But Google has been known to be wrong!

In January 2023 transfer window, Jackie was at Leicester City having a medical for a £25 million transfer.
. when our owners Radz, and specifically Paraag and Co, suddenly pulled out of the deal.
Thereafter Uncle Victor Orta and Co at Leeds United immediately presented Jackie with a 5 year deal to 2028.
So he still has 2 more years of the 5 year deal (spent 2 years on loan at Everton and one year on loan in Italy) .

If there's any player who is stealing a living, then it is Harrison. He is a veritable financial burden to Leeds United.
I don't think you can even give him away!
Huge error by previous owner, one of the many.

I don't think there will be a lot of business early on, because.
a) until June 30th, players are still fighting and hoping for new contracts with their clubs.
b) There's a World Cup on, with lots of players in the shop window.
Who knows? But I think this summer will be a slow burner early on.
Notwithstanding that, there are some big relegation casualties this season, e.g. Leicester & West Ham, who will need to be offloading a lot of players. Also, lots of new managers all over the EPL looking to bring "their" players in.

Again, I totally agree with all those points, Ani4.
And it will be an enormous irritation to fans demanding all the transfers done early.
I think it will be inevitable that most of the transfers will be quite late, more so than previous summers, if that's even possible?

Correction, OP.
It was a huge error by our current owners, Paraag and Co (not previous owner Radz) .
It was entirely their decision to stop JH being sold.
Paraag and Co were calling the shots at ER by then in Jan 2023 (Rutter and McKennie were Paraag and Co Jan 23 signings) , what with their impending purchase buyout of Radz share of Leeds United a few months later.

Correction, Baz.
The 49ers may or may not have been calling the shots at that period, for which there appears to be no evidence. What is absolutely conclusive is that it was Jesse Marsch's insistence that Harrison was given a new contract.
What makes it highly unlikely that the 49ers were in control is that they would not have given him such a long contract, which was a trait typical of Radz and Victor.

What a burden on the Club Harrison is. And it wouldn't surprise me to see him ride out the remainder of his expensive contract. Come on Parag, show us your negotiating skills to get shut of him.

Op, come off it. ?
1) Brenty had zero influence re JH. End of January 2023, he was about to be sacked a week later, Feb 6th 2023.
2) On the contrary, re long contracts, 49ers gave DJ a long 4 year new contract in 2025.

Hate to say it, but Baz is correct on this one!

You forgot, as usual, Corky.
15.) 26 May 2026

Not according to The Athletic, Cork. It clearly states that it was on Marsch's insistence that Harrison had a contract extension.

Brenty was always merely a mouthpiece for the 49ers, OP. nowt else. we all know that.
It was well documented that it was solely the 49ers' decision to keep Harrison, not sell to Leicester on the 31st January 2023 transfer window deadline.
As for Brenty, he had zero influence by then, he was on his way out and was sacked 6 days later, on Feb 6th 2023.
As for Harrison, the contract extension was granted in April 2023. almost 3 months after Brenty had been sacked and had left the club. an ownership decision.

Ok, no matter who is correct on this, it's absolutely diabolically ridiculous that he is on a wage of 90k a week! Yes you read it correctly, 90k a week!
Hopefully Fiorentina take him off our hands even on a free transfer. Any fee will be a bonus at this stage because nobody is paying the quoted 6 mill, unless fat frank still rates him?!

Don't know why you are so vehemently against the 49er's Baz, even if it was them that sanctioned the Harrison contract extension, which it wasn't, then it should have pleased you very much as "Jackie" was and still is your prized player, which you have reminded everyone on this forum on numerous occasions.

Facts are OP. Jackie was great at Leeds for 5 seasons. Sadly, his loan spells set him back.
And there is no way the 49ers didn't agree to and sanction JH's contract in April 2023 for 5 years till 2028, with just 4 weeks before they took over 100% ownership.
Keep it real.

P S, the 49ers have done a lot of good things.
