With Anita, Gouffran and Tiote (possibly Dummett (See link)) contracts all expiring at the end of the season who would you renew and let go? Any additional players you'd look to tie down to long term contracts during the course of this year to put off suitors in the summer? Squad and contracts link to nufc.com http://www.nufc.com/2016-17html/squad.html
Anita & Dummett will do as back up but afraid Gouff and Tiote past their Premiership sell by dates. Need better.
Surely worth signing Gouf up to a new contract as he's clearly massively above the championship average, and could be fairly sought after at the end of the season, even if he leaves at least we'd get something for him and he wouldn't leave on a free.
Anita The others aren't prem material. Dummett has a style of football that will never change, the people who hope he will change are the same ones who thought Steve Taylor might one day reach his potential.
We will need a squad if we go up probably cant afford for all to go. I wouldn't bother with Tiote but the rest possibly. Just not silly length contracts. Ainita deffo. The other two depends on recruitment plans. Gouff has proved he can do the job under rafa so depends if he thinks he can do it in the prem
Why award previous failure in the Premier League with lucrative contracts. Debatable that any of them are good enough for top flight football. Thankfully Rafa will be making the decisions on who stays or not.
