Lia and Muscat the two big name unknowns about whether they will be re-signed

I think Manny should be re-signed because of his versatility. He can play anywhere across the backline and at DM at a pinch, which will be useful if we have an injury crisis or a bunch of players away on AWs duty.

Lia is a tough call though. It depends on how much faith you put in youngsters like Ridenton and Rufer to step up. You have to expect that Riera will miss a few games through suspension and injury over the course of a season. I personally think we have a lot of centre mids and the money from Lia and Sigmund should be used to try and get a quality CB - maybe Boxall can be lured back.

You probably want to keep at least one of Manny and Lia in the squad for leadership and experience too, seeing as Siggy won't be there next year
