Should hopefully be an interesting summer transfer window for our lads, with quite a few potentially looking at moves.
Caoimhin Kelleher seems likely to be the biggest Irish transfer, even though he only has a year left on his contract he may well break the Irish transfer record with a move this summer. Newly promoted Leeds are among the clubs linked to him.
Jason Knight has been linked with a transfer to Everton, would be good timing as they move into their new stadium.
Finn Azaz has been linked with a transfer to Crystal Palace for a fee north of £10m.
Troy Parrott has been linked with a move upwards from AZ, including to Leeds.
Middlesbrough are likely to want to sign Mark Travers permanently after his impressive loan spell there, but may face competition from other sides at the top end of the Championship.
Jimmy Dunne will be moving somewhere as he has let his QPR contract run down. Sheffield United were previously mentioned as a possible destination. Not sure if that's more or less likely if they win the playoff final.
Callum Robinson is probably too good for League 1 so is likely to leave Cardiff. Wrexham have been linked.
Similarly Mark McGuinness might also want to leave Luton, but they spent quite heavily on him so would be looking to recoup as much of that fee as they can.
Dara O'Shea might be on the move yet again. He would need to go to a more established Premier League team this time though, he is in Aaron Ramsdale territory in terms of how many relegated teams he has played for. But decent quality, pacy centre backs are always in demand.
Andrew Omobamidele needs a move away from Nottingham Forest, where he is out of favour. It's unclear whether Strasbourg might be interested in making his loan move permanent.
Andrew Moran probably needs to move on from Brighton as it is unlikely to work out for him there.
Franco Umeh will be looking for first team football having failed to make a breakthrough at Palace this season (though they have a couple of games still to play).
Tyler Goodrham has been linked with a move to a stronger team than Oxford, though his international commitment remains unclear at this stage.
Josh Keeley will be looking for a Championship loan, either with Leyton Orient if they go up, or with another team.
Evan Ferguson may be linked with a move away from Brighton, but then a full pre-season and a return to form could change everything for him there.
And finally Nathan Collins will likely be on the shortlists of some top end Premier League clubs looking for a centre back, though he's probably more likely to stay at Brentford for another season.
I read somewhere that Middlesbrough won't be able to afford the asking price for Travers. Birmingham was floated as a likely destination for him now that they have a sizeable war chest.
Which leaves me to theorize that Middlesbrough could be in for Keeley since their goalkeeping situation remains unresolved
