In both cases I think it boils down to how much money we could get by selling them in January. The business model for the club is to buy promising talent, develop it and then sell it on at a sufficient profit to reinvest in the next promising talent. In the case of Cal Roberts we extended his contract early so we could demand a significant fee if someone comes in, but I can't see the potential suitors for Wootton and Rodrigues shelling out a large amount in January for players they could nab for free when their contracts expire only a few months later.
