I think many of the youth players have signed recently e.g. Bignall, Henry, Karacan, Pearce, Robson-Kanu. May well lose some of the other fringe players: Sodje, Golbourne, Scott Davies, Bennett, Bozanic, Spence. Players on loan in Div 2 and Conference, or who aren't even getting games at their loaned clubs, are too far from the first team to warrant staying. We have enough young talent & I'd be focusing on:
Anderson, Hamer
Kelly, Pearce, Kamdjo
Siggurdson, Karacan, Henry, Antonio, Walcott
Church, Baggie, Robson-Kanu
Anyone outside that is unlikely to be anywhere near the first team in the next few years (anyone I missed?).
Of the older players - all 5 out of contracts can go as far as I am concerned. Doobs, Gunn, USA, Murts, Lita - although a case can be made for Gunn (1 year) and a new manager may just fancy having Lita around. I'd love to keep Murts, but he is much more likely to be valued by a Norwich/Southampton/Charlton/Peterborough/Millwall type of club - assistant to Parky maybe?
