Apologies if there has been a similar thread. I havent posted on here for ages mainly due to the agony of how crap we have been. Now the inevitable has happened we need to get rid of the overpaid useless players and re-build. So who would you keep. My list is below. Anyone else I believe should be sold or given a free transfer if cant find a buyer to get them off the books. Keep - Green, Derry, Hill, Onuha, Mackie, Traore, Bothroyd. Probably keep Jenas and Ben Haim but not bothered. Get Rid - Cesar, Boswinga, Mbia, Diakate, Samba, Granero, Park, Remy, SWP, Hoilett, This leaves Taraabt, Andy Johnson and Zamora. Would like to keep 2 out of that three to give us a chance of getting back up next year. Taraabt will probably do his yearly demand of a move so maybe keep AJ and Zamora to score the goals to get us back up. What do you think? Anyone disagree?
This is my personal opinion. It leaves with 13 players who I definitely want sold. 8 Players who will be released. 9 Players who should stay. And 9 players who I don't think we will be able to sell so we will be stuck with. Apologies for the length of it all, I just didn't realise how many players we actually had. I have also added a "shortlist" of potential players we could sign who I feel would be good for us and be at a minimum price. Key- Red = Players who will be sold. Green = players who should definitely be kept. Black = Players who will be released. Orange = players who we will be stuck with but should shift. 1 GK Robert Green 2 MF Samba Diakité 3 DF Armand Traoré 4 MF Shaun Derry 5 DF Christopher Samba 6 DF Clint Hill*(captain) 7 MF Park Ji-Sung 8 FW Andrew Johnson 10 MF Adel Taarabt 11 MF Shaun Wright-Phillips 12 FW Jamie Mackie 13 DF Yun Suk-Young 14 MF Esteban Granero 15 DF Nedum Onuoha 16 MF Jermaine Jenas 18 FW Loïc Rémy 19 DF José Bosingwa 20 DF Fabio(on loan from*Manchester United) 21 DF Tal Ben Haim 23 MF Junior Hoilett 24 GK Radek Černý 25 FW Bobby Zamora 26 GK Brian Murphy 27 DF Michael Harriman 28 DF Max Ehmer 29 MF Andros Townsend*(on loan from*Tottenham Hotspur) 33 GK Júlio César 34 FW Rob Hulse 36 MF Bruno Andrade 37 FW Jay Bothroyd 38 DF Luke Young 39 FW DJ Campbell 40 DF Stéphane Mbia 9 FW Djibril Cissé*(at*Al-Gharafa*until the end of the 2012–13 season) 22 MF Hogan Ephraim*(at*Toronto FC*until the end of the 2012–13 season) 32 MF Alejandro FaurlÃn*(at*Palermo*until the end of the 2012–13 season) -- DFAnton Ferdinand*(at*Bursaspor*until the end of the 2012–13 season) –– MF Michael Doughty*(at*St. Johnstone*until the end of the 2012–13 season) –– MF Joey Barton*(at*Marseille*until the end of the 2012–13 season) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortlist for Signings: - Phil Neville (Everton) - Jerome Thomas (WBA) - Jacob Mellis (Barnsley) - Harry McGuire (Sheff United) - Dwight Gayle (Peterborough) - Nathanial Chalobah (Chelsea) (Loan) - Paddy Madden (Yeovil) - Harry Forrester (Brentford)
Keep Green, Derry, Hill, Onuha, Makie,Mbia, Diakate,Jenas, Tiaore, Adel, and Bothroyd would try and bring in Charlie Austin, Jordan Rhodes and the centre back from Millwall young Trotter plus a few more.
