Latest Derby County signing Curtis Nelson, however what comes next in the priorities for ensuring players stay at the club?

Ram’s dealt defender Nelson a new contract during the international break, confirming that he will stay at Pride Park until at least the summer of 2026. Tom Barkhuizen, Liam Thompson, Conor Washington, James Collins, Rohan Luthra and Sonny Bradley are among those with existing contracts coming to an end in the course of this season too along with Craig Forsyth and Kane Wilson.
Speaking of the contractual dilemmas fans have been quick to throw out different suggestions. Keep Thompson and Wilson (and possibly Luthra) – LeicesterRam — New forwards needed in January to replace the ones that will leave. Modram states that and addition of a forward will be priority in January before Wilson & Thomposon have hopefully signed new deals while a number of other players will leave on loan. No couldof about it: Locker up Thompson and Wilson away from him as this ones get older or slide to other places. Writing for Gainbridge Grabbags Grabbags writes: “With the January transfer window fast approaching, I do expect Barkhuizen, Washington, Bradley and Collins to potentially leave for mid/lower league clubs during this time as Evans looks to give much-needed game time to younger players his side would draft in as replacements” Word also had its pragmatic side, with League 1 interest in some players and Risleyram urging Wilson and Thompson to be retained. And finally Susieglass to trim it down say keep Thommo, Fozzy (maybe Wilson) – lose the rest.

Some comments about if those are actually good or bad takes, and what becomes logical with the potential departures and what they should also be aware of no deal negotiations ahead. Right now it was a broader reflection as to where the club goes from here.
