Have updated the thread directory today;

• Removed redundant thread links for players who have completed trades/retired/been delisted (links to confirmed trade threads in Completed Trades OP).
• Added thread links for players who have requested a trade or whose contract status/commitment to/from their club is contentious at the moment
• Added Twomey's October Form Guide for Draft Profiles, hopefully makes it slightly easier to find threads for players you're interested in.
