As we continue our look at the contents of the ‘retained’ list, as issued by Luton Town earlier this month, we have a question for you.
The list – Retained/Released List – made reference to the five players that ended the season on loan at other EFL clubs:
• Matt Macey
• Glen Rea
• Dion Pereira
• Carlos Mendes Gomes
and
• John McAtee
But and we are getting to the crux of this article, do any of them have a future at Kenilworth Road?
With the club having climbed into the top tier of English football, the Premier League, the bar at which the team must operate has been raised.
Indeed, I can’t help but ask if the situation may have been different if we were still an EFL Championship side next season, would their futures be a lot clearer.
My view, sadly, is that perhaps McAtee will be retained and sent out on loan but as for the other four, Macey, Rea, Pereira and Gomes, I reckon the quartet will all be sold with whatever funds are incoming being added to the transfer pot needed to bolster the squad.
Do you agree with my views, or do you beg to differ?
