Wouldn't be surprised if he's not the only one out the door today, following Peupion and Samuels, unless they get last minute loans - and the rumour mill seems pretty quiet.

Noticed Ed Turns contract expires this summer. I wonder if he'll released / sold today as well?
Now 22 years of age and his previous loans have helped him progress.

But he's not anywhere NEAR the required level, anyone who witnessed his performance in the EFL Trophy in Wycombe can attest to this.

Miles off it. If Mcconville isn’t deemed good enough there isn’t a chance Turns is.

Crikey, just seen this. Guess we’ll have a high sell on clause.

Weir: The offer from Norwich City is a very good one for the club…
So yes, sounds like a massive sell on clause.
Still feels like a weird one.

His contract is up in the summer, if he didn't want to sing a new one selling him now is the only chance we can get a fee and hopefully a sell on clause.

I think it's probably as simple as McConville wouldn't sign a contract extension and didn't want to have to wait to progress through two seasons of loans to get his chance.

Why didn't he want to sign? He's on the cusp of the first team, when it looks like we are having a huge CB revamp, potentially 2/3 positions up for grabs, and he can't see any opportunity here? It's baffling and concerning.

Agree Jack.
There’s a consistency at the moment that young players are keen to move on. Not to bigger clubs but just to play.
What’s happened to the clear pathway?
What is the messaging behind the scenes? Has this shifted re young players? What’s the atmosphere like at the club for young players?
We’ve got millions of players out on shit loans. We’ve got potential superstars wanting out. We’ve got really exciting academy products not wanting to sign contracts.
Something isn’t right.

He's was on the cusp of the first team as a stop gap after Igor got injured, and now Cashin has arrived he'll be back down the pecking order. Can totally see why he'd want to play first team Championship football at this point in his career rather than resign with us and play for the U21s

Should we be concerned about this? I understand it’s Wikipedia, but do we have a head of recruitment at the moment, does anyone know?

He'd want to go on loan and play first team football, but there is a clear pathway in the summer for him, unless we go out and buy 2/3 centre backs, which given how reluctant we are to do so, I can't see that happening. If he doesn't see a pathway there, what player in the academy is seeing any pathway to the first team?He's was on the cusp of the first team as a stop gap after Igor got injured, and now Cashin has arrived he'll be back down the pecking order.
