    A simple question really.
    January is approaching and incomings and outgoing will hopefully happen. In terms of those departing... who would YOU want to see leave?
    For the purposes of the question assume (I know it's a stretch) that we replace each outgoing with a better player.......

    I'd say we need to move on:

    Obertan
    Cisse (as long as we bet a better replacement)
    Willo
    Eliot
    Amalfitano

    The younger ones I'd obviously loan out but these would be my pick.
    We'd get around £8m all in for those. Add in fresh spend and we would maybe be looking at a war chest of over £20m as we know MA like to do business in January.

    Of course a game changer is if someone like a Cabaye or HBA go....

    If we did have £20m+ I'd like to think we could go back for Ba (£6m?), Ince (£7m) and maybe someone like a Richards plus a couple of development players.

    I'd agree with all of them acs and add marv to that list also has any other player at nufc had such a fall from grace as cisse

    I'd agree with that list but everyone must be replaced and it must not affect our efforts to get the striker we already need.

    Depends on their wages and what they would be replaced with. Its easy to come up with some who are offering nothing like Gosling, Elliot, Amalfitano and Obertan though is this because they are terrible for the reserves and in training? (my guess is yes but I don't actually know) We do need cover and I think some of those like Willo and Obertan are good for that so long as their wages aren't a big burden.

    Cisse is the only controversial one but he has been off the boil for a year now with only fleeting glances of being a good player in amongst trenches of mediocrity and poor play. We rely heavily on him and he's not been producing so we certainly need another player in to challenge him, if he goes then we need two in.

    Until a couple of games ago I would have said Tiote but he's actually looking better now than he has done for a while - depends what people would be willing to pay then,

    Tiote seems to have refound his interest in the game.

    Williamson < Kurt Zouma
    Gosling < Will Hughes
    Elliott < Fraser Forster
    Jonas < Nathan Redmond
    Obertan < Thomas Ince
    And a quality Right back in. I think you could sell those 5 for between 8-12 million but the replacements would cost a fair bit.

    Redmond has only just signed for Norwich. Just have to be Zaha on loan <laugh> Did you not watch Pards on Goals on Sunday? Mike won't be spending a bean so you'll have to sell a Cabaye etc to generate
