 Wednesday, 8th Dec 2010 13:30 Chief executive Simon Clegg says the club has decided which of the 21 players who are out of contract at the end of the season will be offered new terms. Talks are already ongoing with skipper David Norris and some other players, both senior squad members and youngsters. Clegg said: “We know whose contracts are coming to an end and Roy, myself and the owner are agreed on who we want to keep, and those conversations are in train. As soon as I’m in a position to give you the first news, you’ll be the first to know.” The Town chief says he doesn’t want to jump the gun by revealing precisely who is currently in talks, with the subject of salaries inevitably part of the discussions with the Blues having made attempts to cut wage bill in recent times: “These deals aren’t done until the paperwork is signed and the ink is dry on the paper. These things have got time to run and we need to get them sorted out. “It also won’t surprise you that players aspire to more money, and where’s the money going to come from?” However, Clegg has also confirmed that there will be cash for new additions to the squad when the transfer window opens: "Every window that we have gone into we have invested in the playing squad and I don't see that changing in January. "If the manager wants to bring in players in January then he will have the opportunity to do that."
