Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has warned his out-of-contract stars that they can leave the club if they want to.
Mark Hudson, Julian Speroni, Danny Butterfield and Clinton Morrison are all out of contract at the end of the season, and with January just round the corner the foursome will be allowed to talk to rival clubs with regards to agreeing a free transfer in the summer.
But Warnock insists he is still in no rush to get the quartet to commit.
"I want to get Christmas out of the way first - even if they want to go they can't leave until the summer anyway.
"Anybody can leave if they don't want to stay.
"If they are enjoying it they will want to stay and then it is up to us to agree terms."
