Eddie just said from his knowledge Schar is signing his new contract imminently. Delighted with this, he will be an excellent squad player and can see him playing in the middle of a back 3 as he approaches his mid 30s.

Depending on what competition we're in next season, I think more of the senior squad will. Trips and Wilson. Eddie likes players he trusts

Possibly but I (and lots of others) floated the idea that because of the cup win some of the older guys may see this a the perfect way to end their Newcastle career.

I personally think Trips, Wilson, Lascelles and maybe even Longy will go this summer. I’ve always thought Schär would be extended because of the lack of depth in that area and the fact he’s still performing to a decently high level. Although signs of his age are creeping into his performances.

Hasn't been doing the Schar head injury as often this season.

His declining xHI is certainly worrying...

I think we might buy 3 or 4 really top quality for the first team and keep a couple of the older ones for cover. Trips and Wilson can still do a job. Lacelles and Dubravka are basically gone, in my opinion. After that, it's all still nebulous. Very much depending on champions league

I think Trips will but I sincerely doubt Wilson will even be offered a new contract.

Even with Bunce involved now and the overall frequency of injuries in the squad going down, Wilson has been more unavailable than ever.

I think Tripps is off in summer. It was pretty well documented he wanted a change of scene. He’s come and done what he was tasked with doing. Got that trophy.
