Could be a very busy season next with a total of 13 players out of contract (if these deals are one year extensions)

No mention of Simon Worrall or Luke Ambler though, who both are out of contract at the end of this season.

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

correct me if I'm wrong but under the "transparent" system Gary runs players 30 or other nly ever get offered one year contracts. Also in the YEP it added that Luke Burgress was close to signing.

Ambler mate Burgess is signed up for next year.

Expect the announcement of this soon, where we will most likely hear about Chris Clarkson and Tom Bush contracts.

Simon Worrall i expect to leave at the end of the season.

I'd expect Clarkson to be retained not sure about Bush he has a good attitude but i'm not sure he'll be staying with the likes of Webb,Donald,Bjb,Smithy and Hall around who play in his position.

Excellent news all round.

And once again, Garry shows he is in touch with the more knowledgable fans, who hold the view that this is indeed a special squad.

It's always reassuring to know that the Chief Exec is on the ball.......

Agree great news all round.
Still a bit concerned about McSane`s future at Leeds as personally I would have liked to see him in the 17 next season.
I can not see him going out on loan for another season and I am not convinced McLennan has as much faith in him as others do.

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
