We have a number of players whose contracts expire next summer and, unless we offer new contracts to them, we could lose them for 'silly' money in the next window rather than get nothing at all when they're out of contract. The players concerned are Nordy (says he's unhappy anyway), Erwin Mulder, Mike van der Hoorn, Kyle Naughton, Yan Dhanda, Tom Carroll, Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Borja Baston.
Obviously our league position at the end of the year, which will be fairly indicative of our chances of promotion, will dictate the club's thinking in respect of whom to keep or let go. But I'm interested to know the feelings of you guys on here. Who is a 'must keep'? Who would you release? Baston, for instance, would have to go if we were only mid-table or worse because we couldn't afford him. M vd Hoorn would probably look for a higher level of football. The likes of Routs and Dyer might be happy with a 12 month rolling contract. Who knows? But what are your thoughts?
