The Sky Blues boss says goalkeeper Lee Burge and centre-halves Jordan Willis and Tom Davies appear to have made their intentions known through their agents, although he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of them signing new deals.
Entering the last six months of their current contracts, all three are allowed to start talking to other clubs.
But asked if City have begun talks about extending their stays at the Ricoh Arena, Robins said: “It’s too early.
“They have got representatives, some of whom have changed, and it is what it is.
“I am quite open to doing something but I think there is a clear message coming from their camps.
“The silence is deafening.
“So I don’t know what has happened.
“But look, it’s a free market and they have got a right to do whatever they want to do.”
Their agents will be hawking them out to other clubs, I think Willis and Burge in particular ought to think about their own debt to CCFC though
Brings my favourite question, would you be tempted to cash in on some funds in January or let them run down the existing deals and hope one or two remain.
Personally on this one I think I’d retain them all this window, tho I’d be interested in what’s being offered for Burge and Willis.
Tho if your MR it’s a interesting conversation if a offer lands in the inbox this month as he knows far better what’s available and probability they will be off or not for nothing this summer

Just depends on the replacements available at the time.
For example Davies might be less of a loss than Burge as we stand if we got another CB in for the bench to slot in if Willis / Hyam get injured.
I think if Burge picks up an injury then we are screwed as it is.
This doesn't make sense to me.
Definitely sounds like all three are off, but if Davies is off because he's not getting first team football, he surely WOULD be getting first team football as soon as Willis was sold.
We really don't want to be losing two centrebacks
Perhaps all 3 players are reviewing their options and there isn’t anything bad with that. Frankly, I’m unsure as to whether or not Burge and Willis could go to Championship clubs and start week in, week out. They may be better off staying for an extra season and try to get promoted with us. As for Davies, you can’t blame him if he wants 1st team football. I’m going to be optimistic and say both Willis and Burge will end up staying. As I’m unsure whether or not they can go anywhere where the grass is greener, so to speak. Being a situation like McNulty is would be a setback in their careers, especially for a GK.
It would be decent for their bank balance though which they probably would need to start thinking about.
On the subject of centre backs, is Jordan Thompson injured now? He's the long term replacement if Willis does go I assume.

Would be criminal to let them all go for free at the end of the season. Gives reasoning to the supposed interest by Stoke in Burge now. Out of all three I'd be wanting to keep Willis - who's been outstanding since finding his fitness. Would you consider selling two to then keep one longer? I would.
