Only in 2011 when they renew their deals.

Think its available for 1 contract extension when the contract is extended (so what will happen to stan and makali I dont know) but this will probarbly change by mid way through the season.If UEFA get there wish of making teams have 6 homegrown players in their starting 11 then I feel this may type may get adopted and allow unlimited overseas players again.

You expected anything else?

Given Rovers large overseas contingent, this rule effects us more than most, so I've been trying to keep up with its, erm, 'evolution', shall we say? It isn't easy.

Fisher said when he signed his last deal it would be his last.

I think the signs are pretty clear that this will be Stan's last season at the club, Macca and Lovegrove seem to be getting quite a lot of game time but I think at least one of them will go at the end of the season too.

I suspect Fitzy will also leave.

Agree.

This season is a big one for Rhys. If he continues to show the improvement that he has done from the early pre- season friendly form then you never know, he may play himself into a new contract.

I have been impressed with his last two performances, the onus is on Rhys to keep/improve the standard he has set for himself.
