They still have a year left?
Yup, in fact a LOT of our first team squad only have a year left. McCormack, Devera, Flint, Smith, De Vita, Connell + those 3. |

I would certainly hope that the club won't review all of those contracts in January.

I have no doubt they would have learned from what happened with Billy Paynter |

I think certainly for Ferry, Ritchie & Caddis we need to either extend their contracts or sell them this summer.
Otherwise we'll either end up losing a la Paynter or selling in the Jan window at a cut price when there's little opportunity to replace adequately.

Sell in January if need be. No need to dismantle this team.

I can't imagine Stevenage dismantled & rebuilt their squad after promotion, and it doesn't appear to have caused them too many problems.
There are obviously some players that are done as they haven't been involved with the first team squad for a while (Easyjet, Kerrouche, Lanzano and some others), but I can see most of the current squad still being here at the start of the season.

Out of interest, how much did we pay for Matt Ritchie?

I remember the figure 300k. Somewhere around that maybe? |

Going back to Bostock, I was with someone yesterday who knows him very well indeed, ad he said he was enjoying being here and would be ready to stay for next season (where he has been very unhappy with other loans). He also said (with some professional knowledge and experience) that he is the best player he has seen in that position (behind the striker) and should really (and could) be playing in top-class European team - France or Italy, which would probably suit his skill and style better - in a relatively short time.
