Isnt Simon Worrall out of contract at the end of the season?

I'll be very disappointed if McShane decides his future lies elsewhere with his path to the first team being blocked to for a further year.

I was sort of hoping McShane would be our future be it with either Buderus or Diskin depending on whose views you take of course
If he does decide to move on due to the recent signings I for one would be hugely pi$$ed off and I would say it was a backwards step this time by the Board.

So I assume this will mean there will be no Cummings or goings next year then?

Its certainly an interesting move, and one I suspect partly designed to show the squad that loyalty is a two-way street for Leeds. What Sinfield said after last year's GF shouldn't be underestimated. There are no doubt a few ex-players who have left for one reason or other looking on enviously from outside, despite the extra money they've made since leaving.

The fact that these are all seemingly one-year deals (according to what I made out from the BBC website) suggests that this is as much about starting to plan succession as anything else. There's no way Leeds will be reneweing all these deals the following year, so I'm guessing some players are already thinking in terms of winding down the number of games next year with a view to younger players taking over the following year, with others hoping to earn extensions. As to who is in which basket I've no idea.

Great News
McShane will hopefully be loaned to an SL club for 1st team experience .. but to be fair i think he is ready for us but give him another year and hopefully he will be even better
