I was more meaning in reply to your tongue-in-cheek comment to me mentioning Morelos' contract situation mate
Hopefully we do get these players tied down, letting them run towards the last 12 months of their contract most certainly weakens our negotiation position.
I'm not expecting massive changes this summer, hopefully new contracts for some of our key players (Goldson, Kamara, Kent and even Morelos) with a few added who can improve the starting XI.
Plenty of deadwood we need to shift out first and foremost, as well as trying to sort loans for younger players who wont feature much (if any) like Mayo (and possibly Katic).
Stewart & Barjonas out of contract, Zungu loan ending and then the likes of: Middleton (possibly out on loan again), Jones, Edmundson, Barker & Hastie.
If we can get a number of these boys off the books, and then add 1 or 2 starters to the squad we'd be ideal (will need to replace anyone sold too).
