Promotion or no promotion, this is going to be the final year of a majority of the first team.
Contracts beyond the end of this season are:
Bettinelli, Fabri, Rodak
Christie, Steven Sess, Mawson, Le Marchand, Bryan
Cairney, Zambo, Seri
Mitrovic, Kamara (Cavaleiro, Knockaert)
Hence, we'll probably see the departure of:
Odoi, Ream
McDonald, Johansen, Cisse, Kebano
Ayite, Fonte, Sessegnon
Including de la Torre, Edun and O'Riley.
Odoi won't be leaving, surely! He will be here forever. He loves London for a start.. always in local coffee shops reading.
So what others will replace them.
Odoi, Johasen, Ayite and Kebano are the only players that Fulham doesn't have an option to extend, so i'd sort these players out around October and the rest can be sorted out around March.

Maybe we accept they have done their duty for the club, and move on.

We move on too many players, we shouldn't be moving every player on that cannot make the first team, unless you don't want a culture of not fighting for your spot in the team.

I'd rather see younger players on the fringe of the first team, rather than a group of 30 year olds, who have proven to be not quite enough at that higher level.
We are apparently in talks with StefJo over a new deal so I'd expect him to stay. Reckon a lot of the others will go depending on promotion or not
