The Blades will also hand contract extensions to Leigh Bromby and Ian Bennett, while Lee Hendrie, David Carney, Nicky Law and Zeyn S-Latef have all been placed on the transfer list. Four other players - Ben Starosta, Keith Quinn, Jamie Annerson and Maxime Chanot - have been released as manager Kevin Blackwell starts to reshape his squad. Midfielder Montgomery and goalkeeper Kenny have been in eye-catching form for the Blades during the run-in, but veteran defender Ehiogu's season was cut short in December due to an Achilles problem, while Webber has also struggled with injury. On-loan players Greg Halford (Sunderland), John Joe O'Toole (Watford), Arturo Lupoli (Fiorentina) and Craig Beattie (West Brom) have all returned to their parent clubs.
