At this stage, I'd let them all go apart from Robinson and maybe Goutas.

Not bothered about the rest.

Things can change though, for example let's see how El Ghazi and Davies do as the season goes on - if they do well, they could get another contract.

Ramsey can become part of the coaching team.

Keep Goudas (if he wants to stay) get rid of the rest. Robinson offers little for the wages so it’s a no from me god him.

I’d keep Goutas, potentially Alnwick and Robinson.

It’d be a nice touch from City to put Ralls through his badges if he wants to go in that direction.

Alnwick is a very good keeper at this level we won’t get much better without paying a fortune

I'd keep Goutas and Alnwick.

Maybe just maybe I'd extend Etete's contract, not on performances to date, just have a gut feeling he'll come good for us.

Can't bring myself to let Ralls go, he's the heart and soul of this club. Reduced terms for another year.

Yeah, agree with others that Alnwick could get a new contract actually.

As for Ralls, he'll be 32 at the end of next season. His legs are already starting to go and he's had his injury problems. There's no room for sentiment in renewing a player's contract - for that same reason I wouldn't renew Ramsey's contract.

As said by Roath, I'm sure there would be a coaching role available for Ralls and Ramsey if they want it.

Alnwick has to stay, rovbinson on lower wages and davies if he can show what he can do

Yes I missed that Alnwick was on the list. He’d stay, on my list. Just think we’d get a much better striker on a lot less than what we’re supposedly paying CR

Very early to make a decision. Definitely Alnwick, Robinson has started the season well so if he continues then add him. Davies needs to get fit and have a run of games. He offers pace and with a different approach i.e. to what's has happened to Mark Harris since he left, could be a success. Any other 30+ year old can go.

I’ve left in the ones I would keep; with Rambo having question marks depending on fitness and the potential for him to become a coach at the club…

The rest have proven they are not up to the standard required, if we are to have any real ambition…

The new manager, assuming Bilic is the chosen one, will want his own war chest and the ability to bring in his own players. If this coincides with a relaxation of FFP (or whatever it’s now called) it could be a final opportunity for the owner to get his money back and leave with his head above the (proverbial) water… :ayatollah:

Aaron Ramsey - Sentimental one. Needs to show even a glimpse of what we know he can do OR make a tough call.
Isaak Davies - Has to earn it. If not, get rid.
Kieron Evans - Get rid.
Callum Robinson - Ged rid.
Callum O’Dowda - Busted flush. Get Rid.
Joe Ralls - Extend. Even for his presence and 'one of us'. Make a pathway to coach for him like other decent clubs do (and we dont)
Jak Alnwick - Keep. Our current #1.
Kion Etete - Has to earn it. If not, get rid.
Anwar El Ghazi - Will likely leave us anyway. We're his "get back fit" stepping stone.
Dimitrios Goutas - Keep. More good than bad.
Andy Rinomhota - I'd keep! Shows balls and effort and a great squad player.
Jamilu Collins - Get rid.
Yakou Meite - Easiest get rid on this list.

My concern is we never have a manager longer than roughly 8 months, so who the hell will be making these decisions?

Why does Isaak Davies have to ‘earn it’? What’s he done wrong?

Ok, let me flip that; what has he done to earn a new contract? I like him and want him to do well by the way...

Isaak is without a doubt one of the best players at the Club (ask Craig Bellamy), it will be criminal to see him walk away for free, but hopefully the right managerial appointment will use him as a forward and not a winger so he can improve week on week and show what he can do. He’s a goalscorer and attacking football will see the best of him.
