They have been offered new contracts, so still have to sign them.

And the key thing will be to commit or not by a certain date so that we can move on to other targets. An extension for DR may make Bernard re-sign and also be key to aiding early recruitment .
Lets hope DC for once actually sets a budget so the recruitment team can plan accordingly using a balance of out of contract/wages and a fee for someone like Ugbo. Also few more in the mould of Gassama and Musaba that have a potential for future profit rather than wasting money on panic loans like Fletcher and Hendricks.
