Isn't Liam Polworth also part of this season's first team squad and you have to assume will be part of next season's also

Liam Polworth isn't 17 till October so he doesn't actually have a professional contract - and since he hasn't played for the first team yet I felt I probably shouldn't put him on that list yet.

I see lots of loan deals in our future, and less of the signature "Butcher Gems" to buy.

I see lots of loan deals in our future, and less of the signature "Butcher Gems" to buy.

There is a maximum of 4 players allowed on loan at any one time (and only one of these is allowed to be over 21)

Max of 4 loans from other Scottish teams....you can take in as many as you like from other associations with no age limit.

Not sure how much sense MacDonald signing for Burnley for another 12 months would be if he was coming back to us - but then again....

Burnley have offered new contracts to youngsters Wes Fletcher, Dominic Knowles, Alex MacDonald and Alex-Ray Harvey.

Fletcher has made one substitute appearance for the Clarets and had a spell on loan at League Two's bottom club Stockport County earlier in the season.

MacDonald, meanwhile, has featured eight times as a substitute during his Burnley career and has been on loan in the SPL with Inverness Caledonian Thistle since January.

The duo, along with Knowles and Harvey, have been offered 12-month extensions to stay part of Eddie Howe's squad next season.

Should I putting Rossco in the "under contract" list?

Butcher confirmed on STV that he activated his 1 year option, so yeah he's under contract.

Ok, updated for Rossco -

Word on the street is Tuffey REALLY feels like he has to get first team football. Could we actually get a fee for him?
