Akpom has already had his contract extended by a year. Carrick confirmed that a while ago so he will be staying. I would be surprised if Jones went as he's not been as good a player as he was the season before and I think the summer will be big for him if Carrick can get him playing the way he wants to. I would be amazed if Fry leaves.
Fisher is in the final year of his contract I think.
What I think last nights result showed is how much we rely on Howson in midfield, I don't think Mowatt plays as well with Hackney. Howson just gets the job done to the point you don't realise he is doing it. Barlaser is getting more effective but he's had a stop start half season.
I would love to be able to keep Giles, and Ramsey. Not sure whats happened to Archer, he's been fantastic but off the boil the last few games like he was biding his time. All three have been key to our success. I can't see us keeping Ramsey and Archer, but Giles I think we have a chance with. Steffen I was unsure about, but he has been great for us by and large and he has already said he wants to leave City in search of regular football. I'd have him back here.
McNair was another I was unconvinced about, but in the first leg and for most of last night he schooled Gyokeres and kept him quiet. Was really impressed and I admit I was wrong about Paddy.
Forss looked tired but he's a fantastic threat out wide.
