While I'm fantasizing, as I tend to do when I should instead be productive, I decided to comb through the squad and determine who I'd dump completely. Because why not. It's fun to dream.

 

Goalkeepers

 

Jak Alnwick

 

Defenders

 

Mike Williamson

Steven Taylor

Fabricio Coloccini

Ryan Taylor

 

Midfielders

 

Cheick Tiote

Jack Colback

Jonas Gutierrez

Gabriel Obertan

 

Forwards

 

Emmanuel Riviere

Yoan Gouffran

 

 

Leaving us with, for next season...

 

GK: Tim Krul, Karl Darlow, Rob Elliot, (Freddie Woodman)

 

LB: Massadio Haidara, Davide Santon, (Shane Ferguson)

CB: Paul Dummett, Jamaal Lascelles, (Curtis Good, Remi Streete, Lubomir Satka, Kevin Mbabu)

RB: Daryl Janmaat

 

CM: Moussa Sissoko, Vurnon Anita, Mehdi Abeid, (Gael Bigirimana, Olivier Kemen)

AM: Siem de Jong, Sylvain Marveaux, Haris Vuckic

 

F: Remy Cabella, Rolando Aarons, Sammy Ameobi, Adam Armstrong

ST: Papiss Cisse, Ayoze Perez, (Adam Campbell, Callum Roberts)

 

 

Obviously I don't expect to see the likes of Marveaux or Santon in a Newcastle kit again, and players like Sissoko and Cisse could easily be sold on in the summer.

 

So by my count, in this fantasy world in which we have competent ownership and management, we'd need 2 starting CBs, a fullback, a CM, and a striker. At the very least.

What is your thinking behind keeping Elliot?

He'd be a better 3rd-choice keeper than Alnwick? :dontknow:

 

Though I suppose I should've just sacked him off with everyone else, I wasn't worried about depth at any other position. :lol:

So Ryder is already peddling stories about free transfers it would have made much better reading if he printed a story about u21 players that are highly rated across Europe at lower clubs that could be bought, but I suppose that takes research, a bit of proper journalism and football knowledge . ah well I suppose a good copy and paste from the premier league website makes just as good reading .

Darren Bent

Danny Ings

Luke Garbutt

John Flanagan

James Milner

Micah Richards

John Guidetti

James Wilson

Tom Cleverly

Andy Wilkinson

 

All kinda realistic. Imagine milner coming back :lol: (Realistic for the club to aspire to sign, not necessarily my choice)

There's only 2 people we need to get rid of, Ashley and Charnley. We don't have a big enough squad to let anyone else go, even if they aren't good enough. Because they won't all be replaced and definitely not with better.

Tbh I think Obertan playing is like giving the opposition a paid-off player.

As people were discussing the squad in the Rafa thread I thought I'd resurrect this thread.

 

Contract information taken from: -

http://www.nufc.com/2016-17html/squad.html

 

Out of contract in June 2017

Vurnon Anita

Yoan Gouffran

Christian Atsu (end of loan from Chelsea)

Sammy Ameobi

 

Out of contract in June 2018 (i.e. one year left on contract so Mike Ashley may be looking to cash in)

Massadio Haidara

Jesus Gamez

Daryl Murphy

Curtis Good

Tim Krul

Kevin Mbabu

 

NUFC.com have "tbc" for the contract length of some players e.g. Emmanuel Riviere. Some players like Haris Vučkić aren't listed.

Anita, Gouffran and Ameobi should be let go. I'd look to sign Atsu though.

 

Agree with that but Anita is a strange one, don't think I'd be that fussed either way. Wouldn't be too surprised if he did get a new contract as he can play in a few positions but happy with Yedlin and Gamez as our RB options for next season and I don't really rate him as a CM. Would hope we'd be bringing in at least 2 new ones in the summer anyway.
