That said, we take into account what we know of the club, coaching staff and player preferences, as well as its financial situation and any other factor that we think will impact personnel moves.

Where we disagree, or where we think our rationale is worth explaining, we've noted below.

GoalkeepersAlisson Becker (32 years old, contract expires in 2027)

Ogden: You'd think you'd extend his deal as he's entering the final two years, but I would wait to do that.



Let's not forget he considered an offer from Saudi Arabia last summer, so a big payday elsewhere may tempt him.

Marcotti: Assuming he's happy to stay at the club long-term, you extend his contract another two seasons.

I do wonder, though, if they'll feel he's maybe a bit inexperienced at this level and if Kelleher ends up staying, they may need to loan him again.

Marcotti: I don't think experience is an issue for Mamardashvili, but I agree that if Kelleher sticks around, you may want to loan him another season.

More generally, he has been good and there's enough to do in other positions that I don't think shifting Szoboszlai is a priority.

Verdict: Split between listen to offers, and keep

Curtis Jones (24, 2027)

Ogden: He has had a good season and he's an England international, you extend him.

You don't pay a guy for what he's done, you pay him for what you think he's going to do.

I think he's very good, but he has to be happy with a role as a reserve player.

Verdict: Keep, but do not extend his contract

Ben Doak (18, 2029, on loan at Middlesbrough)

Ogden: He's injured again, but he's a highly rated player.
