I was going over the playing contracts to get a grasp of the situation and there are some holes I need filled. Does anyone know the contract status (when they expire) of Zola, Morris, Le Saux, Dessa, Terry, Melchy, Baba, Forssell and the other youngsters at the bottom of this page? I wasn't sure where to find the info, the ones I do have I got from the official site. Contract expires after this season (02/03): De Goey Ferrer Zola (not 100% sure on this) Morris (not 100% sure on this) Le Saux (not 100% sure on this) Contract expires after next season (03/04): Petit Bosnich Bogarde Rhys Evans Contract expires after 04/05 season: Hasselbaink Gudjohnsen Zenden Gronkjaer Stanic Kniessel Contract expires after 05/06 season: Lampard Gallas De Lucas Contract expires after 06/07 season: Cudicini Contract lengths that I am unsure of: Desailly Terry Melchiot Babayaro Forssell Keenan C Cole Oliveira Ambrosetti Huth Di Cesare Kitamirike All the other new youngsters
Zola is in the last year of his contract to play. He has "an understanding" with the club that he will hang it up on the pitch at the end of this season and move into the coaching aspect of the game with CFC. We shall see, Wise was promised this also and......... Desailly is in his penultimate year. As are i believe Babayaro and Melchiot
