CONFIRMED Retained List

[By Tor]

Tom Barkhuizen was a good player for North End (mostly). Bit of pace and the odd goal. Had a tough year with Covid and injuries. Still got something to offer and probably drop down to Lg 1. Had a few gripes at North End management this season and about general team performances , so reckon he's better away . Probably go to Alex Neil's Sunderland if they match his wages.

That post is proof if it was needed that he just never clicked with the fanbase.

He seems like a bit of an emotional bloke does Barkhuizen. Those public outbursts and the context of them suggests to me that he might see one critical social media post about him and that's enough to forget about hundreds of supportive ones. It happens and I get the same sometimes in my line of work.

Its probably better he says nothing rather than saying something like thanks to the North End fans that supported me and the rest of you can get fucked.

We move on.

LEP reporting that talks have progressed with Bambo and he’s close to signing. Looking forward to seeing him next season. Always useful to have at least one pacy defender and really enjoy watching him, even with the odd slip up.

not sure enjoy is the right word, end up watching half the game from behind my hands...cant argue there's a level of entertainment tho. Comedy gold at times.

hopefully he improves.

I think he will. Although obviously a bit rusty he has shown signs of what he is capable of. Bournemouth was probably his best game.
