I wouldn't have Hollis within a hundred miles of any team of mine.

as for the rest... I would keep... Thompson, Valencic, Sarpong, Atkinson

I would only keep Sarpong out of al the ones you have mentioned to be honest. Hollis will be 24 in October and no longer the promising youngster, he should be a nailed on certainty if we were to retain him, the same goes for Curtis Thompson as well, who will be 23. Atkinson is 22 in October and just hasn't got a clue defensively, but maybe you could argue that Valencic at 24 has had a year to settle in to English style football and might be worth another year if cheap enough.

A lot of the players now coming up to being out of contract are players that should be either established first team players (only Noble), or promising teenagers (Sarpong), other than that they have to go and clear the decks for better players to come in. We have so many positions that need strengthening that room needs to be made by releasing the easy options.

I can also see Snijders, Amevor, Bennett, McLeod and De Silva on their bikes as well if they can come to an agreement. Bring in 8 solid signings after this and I can see us having a half decent season next year.
