Ed25 who do you expect stay with all one's out contract and loans I think just be idrissa and alcraz and let rest contract run out and send loans back.
{Ed025's Note - i cant see us keeping Harrison, Lindstrom or Broja Bretto, they gave us options of course but the quality is just not there mate, so its a thanks but no thanks from me..

We will be in real trouble if we left them all go. Maybe get Doucs to sign a contract if he agrees to a pay cut.
{Ed025's Note - if i was in charge the offer would be 20p a week Swinners, maybe i wont get the job after all mate.. :)

I’d take lindstrom on another loan but wouldn’t buy him and definitely sign alcaraz.

Alcaraz - must make permanent. Gives us a real spark going forward. He can link together midfield and attack (and we don’t really have anyone else who can do it and haven’t managed to find anyone for the last few seasons) .
Gueye - has been immense for parts of this season and should get a year extension whilst we find a replacement.
Virginia/ Bergovic - keep one, let the other go (unless Virginia goes out on loan) .
DCL - would love to see him stay and score shed loads but has most likely run his course. Shame we will get nothing after all the support we gave him over the years.
Mangala - serious injury ruined a good debut season. At 26, will he be another Bolaisie and end up being sub standard until he leaves? Might be best to walk away from a deal.
Coleman - injured most of the season. Time to call it a day. What a player we’ve had with him.
Young - a few moments of good play mid season but he’s an expensive squad player. Time to move on.
Lindstrom - not performed well enough since DM took over and before that was not up to the task under Dyche. Can’t sign him or we’ve learnt nothing.
Harrison - shouldn’t have resigned in summer. Hasn’t done anything to warrant coming back this season so don’t know why we would sign him. Very expensive also and hasn’t offered much for the money.
Broja - too injury prone for £20-£30m. Need to find someone else. Chermiti might be his replacement/ do his role from the bench late in games.
Douc - was past it at the end of last season. Has been clueless at times this season and gives away the ball too often. Time for him to move on though I liked him and thank him for his service.
Keane - has been stealing a living on his wages and barely plays. Must learn from this experience and not sign players like this on such high wages for so long. Crazy deal last time and I would be shocked if he was offered something.

Not sure why we’d be in trouble without the loan players next season, we’d have loan spaces to fill with better players. Lins’s trim and Harrison are not good enough and so we should look elsewhere.
