Bolton Wanderers have a total of nine players out of contract next summer and are soon to be entering the final six months of their deals at the club.
Though focus is inevitably and understandably on the January transfer window which is now only a few weeks away from opening, there will have to be decisions made at some stage on those who deals run out at the end of this campaign.
Alex Baptiste, Andrew Tutte, Ali Crawford, Nathan Delfouneso, Liam Edwards, Liam Gordon, Reiss Greenidge, Dennis Politic and Matt Gilks all have Wanderers playing deals which run out at the end of the season.

Circumstances differ in all of the different situations, with the likes of Greenidge likely to have played his final game for Wanderers, and it also could be the case for Crawford if his loan spell at St Johnstone is extended.
Gilks is also Bolton's goalkeeping coach, while Politic has turned down the offer of a new contract at Wanderers as he spends the season out on loan at League Two Port Vale.
Wanderers fans have taken to Twitter to have their say on which players they feel should be offered fresh terms to stay at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Many are of the view that those whose deals are running out next summer ought to be let go by Wanderers.
But Gordon and Politic are the most common names which have cropped up among Wanderers fans of those who they want to remain at the club.
