Who's left in our Squad for next season?

[tforturton]

Some of those are 'already gone' and we're not going to miss them - Vassell, Murphy, for example. As for the rest, Smithies is said to be the highest paid player in the squad, so you can bet good money that he will be sold or released. Vaulks is only making up the numbers at the moment, and I think he will also be let go/sold. Brown is a cheap option, so he will probably be kept on (unless we unearth a CB gem from somewhere). Murphy probably won't be coming back, unless he experiences some sort of personal revelation in the next couple of months. Vassell has been very unfortunate, but has been milking the club for years, with nothing in return, so will be released.

Which means we'll hold on to Morrison, Pack, Ralls, and Flint, and maybe Brown, and try to replace the others with cheap bargains or Youth players.

I'd be shocked if we kept Morrison and Flint. I imagine it'll be one or the other

I can't see us keeping all of Morrison, ralls, flint and pack.
they are good players, but 3 of them are the wrong side of 30, and they'll all be on premier League inflated contracts. if they will drop their salaries significantly then perhaps we Will Keep them, but there will be other clubs our there who are able to pay more than us these days

I think they will all be on lower wages after this summer - whether at Cardiff or some other club.

The post-Covid football economy is the same for all clubs below the Premier League with the possible exception of parachute payment Championship clubs pushing for an immediate return - and even there the cold wind is blowing. Would any of our out-of-contract players attract salary offers from the top of the food chain that will match what they're on now? I doubt it.

I guess what they'd also get is a signing bonus that we wouldn't offer

It also depends on how are finances are, our financial state could be anything from sensible cost cutting to we're absolutely f*cked and can't afford to keep any of those out of contract players
