Fenham Mag Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Think the likely ones to leave are: Aarons - - contract exp Taylor - - contract exp Marveaux - - contract exp Obertan - - contract exp Tiote Sissoko Janmatt Cisse Wijnaldum De Jong Thauvin Cabella Krul Mbabu Mbemba Colo Dummett Townsend Shelvey Colback Perez Mitro Armstrong Break though seasons for: Roberts Gilliead Gillesphey Saivet Toney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The following would all be gone: Krul, Janmaat, Coloccini, Mbemba, Sissoko, Gouffran, Marveaux (?) Wijnaldum, Shelvey, Townsend, Perez, Cisse and De Jong. I have doubts about one or two of them but think that's pretty much worse case scenario. A little piece of me and maybe my naívety thinks Mitro would stay and would be pretty boss in the Championship. Armstrong would come back and play alongside him and we'd end up with probably Pearson as manager. Not sure who else we'd get in, but I reckon the team would probably look something like this: Elliott Mbabu Taylor Lascelles Dummett Obertan (?) Colback Anita Aarons Mitro Armstrong I forgot a few on your list of 'goers'. I think Shelvey would stay, he's been quoted as saying he'd want to, but I guess the club may feel the need to cash in. I think Townsend would stay also. I'm fairly sure Anita would go. Same for Saivet. Agree on Mitro, gut feel is that he'd like to stay. The gutting thing is that there is no way NUFC would pay Rafa's money in the championship and he'd be the biggest loss of all. Literally, the only glimmer of hope throughout pretty much the entire Ashley era and we'd lose him for the sake of a few million and him wanting to work for the club. That would never happen under an ambitious board/owner. I'd sell any player if I thought that money would contribute to Rafa staying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Think Anita and Saivet would stay. Nobody in the top division would buy them and they'd earn more here than back in Holland or France Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I wasn't so certain on Shelvey leaving like and think he'd be massive for us to keep. I'd probably about Benitez though. The one thing we need to do is ensure we act quickly in the window if we do go down. Get everything in place immediately and start afresh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If and when we go down we're going to be gasping for some bigger, stronger players for the set-pieces that so much of that shitty league is based around. I think the only certainties to go would be Janmaat, Gini, Sissoko and Perez all of whom are replaceable pretty easily at that level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Big sales will be Sissoko, Krul, Janmaat, Wijnaldum, Perez, Tiote and Cisse - to be honest, a lot of those won't really be missed! Marveaux, Taylor and Gouffran will go to ease the wage bill. Unsure about Shelvey and Townsend, but I'd like to think we can keep Mbemba, Mitrovic, Anita and De Jong. What's left is a decent squad full of Championship-level players and a few who are arguably too good for that division. Just need to add some good players and plenty of back-up, maybe a few loan deals like last time. GK: Elliot, Darlow, Woodman DEF: Mbemba, Lascelles, Coloccini, Dummett, Haidara, Mbabu MID: Shelvey, Townsend, Colback, Anita, Obertan, Aarons, Saivet, Ameobi FOR: Mitrovic, De Jong, Armstrong, Riviere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Obertan, Aarons and Mbabu out of contract at the end of the season. Latter 2 is worrying as they would be stars for us in the Champo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I wonder how long it will take them to appoint a manager especially if the promised review takes place and Charnley's position is genuinely at risk as has been reported. How much scouting of the lower leagues have we done to be able to sign players quickly. There will be no time for them to waste and they don't like to do things quickly. Even selling players promptly will probably be a problem because of the Euros and we may well need the cash in before we buy. Perez will probably be here at the start of the season because Spurs don't sign players until the transfer deadline! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The hope for Perez is that Spurs get Berahino and Man Utd are too busy doing Mourinho stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I wonder if De Jong would stay. I'm sure he'd be in demand but he seems a bit honourable and may feel he owes us something. Obviously his wages may prove prohibitive but we kept Enrique, Colo, Nolan, Barton and Jonas last time we went down. A team like the below would be very competitive and would still allow for plenty of money to be made via Krul, Janmaat, Tiote, Sissoko, Anita and Cisse. Darlow RIGHT BACK Taylor/Lascelles CENTRE BACK Dummett/Haidara Abeid Colback De Jong Perez/Cabella Aarons STRIKER Might be a slight problem here...

De Jong would be earning too much money for the Championship and Saivet would go imho. I'd be amazed if we kept Riviere but stranger things have happened.

Conjo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If this had been bumped the day before Rafa signed it would in some weird way be fun to make a semi-realistic championship squad combined with some hope to see how we could "reset" and start over again like last time. Now though I just desperately hope we stay up in order to keep Rafa. If we go down, I hope we manage to keep Mitrovic, Perez, Aarons, Mbemba, Lascelles, Armstrong and Mbabu. Those are the players I see with a potential to be better than what we can attract even when being in the premier league, and a full season in the championship might actually do more good than harm for their development. All the others are replaceable and not likely to get any better than they are today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Can't see us keeping both Elliot and Darlow. One of them will choose to leave. It is one thing being the 2nd keeper at a Premier League club but why would Darlow want to stay to be second choice when he has already been first choice for a Championship club. Woodman could fill that role. I am not sure why they have not loaned him out again since Darlow returned to fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
