what do you think the stumbling block is? There may not be one, could just be lots to talk about.

Best freekick taker in the world.

Rumoured to be bringing in John Carver with him if he stays according to nufc.com.

We should take a look at Mackail-Smith and Mclean from Peterborough. Brilliant last season and will do well in the championship.

Becchio is a striker.

GET IN! Absolutely love this guy.

According to the Journal, he was being offered to Championship teams before we signed him for £1 million, but they decided he wasnt good enough.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7867139.stm February. It would have been out this summer. You would hope then, that there is a relegation clause in his contract to cut his wages.

Doubtful, Butt and Harper will certainly be in there. Also be surprised if Enrique and Bassong remain. Harper Beye Taylor Kadar R.Taylor New New Butt Duff Shola Carroll

Bassong is probably already on the radar of a few PL teams. Better news would be his announcement that he wants to stay with Newcastle and work to bounce right back. Maybe, but he has hardly been mentioned in the press all season, and when he has like on SSN the other day, they were negative comments. It seems that people think that he is a CB playing for Newcastle so he must be rubbish. Can only be good news for us.

How like?

Any players who want to leave will leave. That is life, unfortunately. I agree, it will be a combination of getting rid of the deadwood and dealing with those who jump ship. To be honest there isnt many any of us would like to keep.

Thought exactly the same thing.

Aye a parachute payment.

Definitely time for him to go, not good enough.

Shearer to stay, then first the likes of Ranger, Kadar, Tozer, Lua Lua and Krul to be given a go.

I would keep Beye Enrique S.Taylor Bassong Guthrie Also the likes of Krul. Lua Lua and Ranger. The rest would not be missed, simply overpaid and overrated.

Do people really believe Jonas would have made any difference. Come on he has been awful for most part of the season he like everyone else in our midfield is not good enough.

They can all go.

Just realised this could get a whole lot worse. Imaging if Kinnear comes back.

We are down because we deserve it. We wont be back for a long, long time.

Aren't the strikers being rated a tad harshly? They had nothing but blind punts pointed at them all game long, and Viduka did well to make a fist out of any of them. In the end, it was our central midfield that sent us down. Maybe Viduka but Martins wasted a great chance and was hopeless when he had the ball.

Saying anything of interest?

Ratings Harper- 1 and lucky to get that. Edgar-2- extra mark for getting sent off. Coloccini- 6 - wasnt actually that bad apart from early nerves Taylor-8- Our best player give everything our Man of the match Duff- 6- not to bad Butt- 1- what else can be said. Nolan- 1- Slow, fat and useless Lovenkrands-0- was he even playing Guthrie-5- The fact he is our best midfielder sums up why we are going down. Viduka- 5- couple of nice touches but not much else Martins-4- just awful again.
