Martin Jol has challenged his out-of-contract stars to show the mental strength required to commit their future to Fulham.
Danny Murphy and Andy Johnson are both free agents at the end of the season, whilst Clint Dempsey has one more year on his present deal.
The Cottagers boss wants all three to sign new contracts as he continues to reshape his squad, although his patience is starting to wear thin.
Progress has been slow so far, although with the club's Premier League status virtually secure, negotiations may become slightly easier.
"If they are mentally strong they will stay with us," said Jol. "If not, if they need to play or go somewhere else, we can go on with our transformation.
"We have five or six players who are different from last year but we are not there yet. The balance could be better at times and I want us to be a bit more aggressive at times. There are goals in us but for the last five or six years Fulham has not scored enough away from home, which is strange."
