Players with contracts that expire in 2026... Ossie, Nels, Elder, Wilson, NML, Ward, Jackson, Vickers, Rooney, Robinson. Ossie has been a disappointment. Elder has again had injury problems, Ward the same, Jackson simply hasn't delivered. I'd like us to move those 4 on and keep the others with just the one year left on their contracts.

CBT still has 2 seasons left on his, as do JWZ, Lars-Jorgen, Nyambe, Ebou and Daj. I see all of them staying with the club. JWZ, Lars, Nyambe and Ebou will be matchday 18 if not starters. Daj, squad unless he gets a half season loan somewhere. JE has been upbeat about what CBT has been doing in training. Last chance to show he's more than just a sicknote.

Kenzo to 2028. Hopefully played as a #10 rather than a 6 or an 8.

Those expiring this summer are Phillips, Yates, Clarke, Roofe, Harness, Ozoh, Tommo, Armstrong, Hendrick, Barks, Pieters, Wash, Foz and Luthra. Probably cant afford Phillips wages. If Yates comes back it shouldn't be as the main striker. I think Clarke will stay and there's probably a clause in his contract we can trigger now we're staying up. If there isn't one the club has made a big mistake. Roofe can go, Harness too as he's not been consistently good enough. Ozoh is very good but appears to be made of glass unfortunately. Tommo new deal please. Armstrong I expect to make Everton's matchday squad next season but, if he does go out on loan again, yes please. Hendrick, Barks and Pieters all to leave. Foz, a 1 year deal. Luthra? We need a 3rd keeper and he's cheap as chips, if we let him go we'd still need a replacement. Not bothered either way. Interesting time ahead on squad changes.
