Trust BBM, they stay if they offer more than Wintle on and off the pitch, he runs a tight ship and is ruthless; if they don't add value, they will be gone.
The fact they are still here tells us they are good lads, and positive influences in and around the dressing room.
They both come across as genuine and very positive in every interview I've seen. We need to read between the lines and have faith in the Manager and his judgement of players.

Annis that's a lot for 2 players who may only get 10 games between then i cannot see either regular starters, that's why I put up this post to see where fans are on it.
Speed and stamina are going to be the basic requirements you will need in the championship sadly Imo these 2 are spent, and expensive to have on the bench and what impact are they going to have to change the game.?

Yes, I see your points, but they can both have an impact next season, which is an important and testing one on the Bluebirds return to the Championship. Chambers in particular, may find the Championship more to his liking/style
Another point made to me is that each player in the squad signed their contracts with the blessing of the club at the time, so are entitled to the monies they agreed
However, I’m very much of the persuasion that any player worth his salt (Etete is a good current example) not getting a look in, should seek pastures new, even if it means taking a pay cut (after their remaining contracts are compensated, which must happen, which we often just don’t read about it)
It’s just my opinion, but neither Robinson nor Chambers are unworthy of their places in the squad in playing terms alone, and if BBM wants to keep them, I’m good with that

I have no problem with them staying if the club wants to keep them bbm likes a small squad or he did last season and younger players, but yes they can contribute, but for me bench only not staters .

I’ve never understood why supporters of all clubs get so upset about players wages. We not paying, contract be honoured if clubs are silly enough to pay these wages it’s their lookout.
