Dont be surprised to see Commons, Hulse and Green go. I find it confusing having so many central midfielders!
Not even Roy"pay 8x the real value"Keane would offer £1m for Connolly, surely? And wasn't the bid rejected for being too low anyway? I can't believe we'd turn down that for Connolly.
From what I've seen Hendrie, Zadkovich, Price, Pearson, Barnes, Teale, Buxton, Mills, Pringle and Deeney's contracts are all up come season end. Pringle, Buxton and Deeney's futures will largely depend on if Clough is still in charge. Mills should get an extention (if he hasn't already) and I don't think Hendrie, Price or Zadkovich will get enough chances to show their worth to earn new ones. This leaves us with Teale, Pearson and Barnes. I suspect we'll judge Barnes on how he does in the second half of the season and he'll be offered terms dependent on that, Pearo is a good squad player at this level and i'd think he'd be retained too. Teale could do either way, especially if Clough wakes up and figures out Davies is better wide left than up front. I agree with Mosytn re: what will become of him, especially as he's on about £7k per week (that'll be £1/4m off the wages).
Commons will go (thank goodness) to a prem club, completely disappear and pop up in League One in three years. Hulse I think will stay, I suspect Strachan will have his own ideas and noone else was linked with him. Green I hope doesn't go, in fact he'd the LAST player I'd want to leave, fully fit and on form he's our best player in my eyes.
Also, didn't Clough say last month we'd go back for Blackburn's Frank Fielding in January? He'd probably still a target.

I hope you are right but I can't see him wanting to drop a division, and since he's played for sweden he'll want to maintain his international career. Wrong-end-of-the-table Championship football won't help him there.
