Players we can afford to lose

Gallas is a toughie.
If he is happy to do a pay as you play, I would like to keep him.

Not Rose. BAE is a shoe-in and the cover LBs are not close.

Hudd. Gomes.
Townsend is a decent flank player.

Kane.

Rose will want to leave though as I think Naughton is better than him already at LB and has more going forward.

I would keep Gallas as he is happy to play a bit part and his experience is priceless for all the other CB's

Naughton is not a natural LB.
If Rose is going, I want a proper LB brought in.

I'd keep Dempsey. Good option to have.

I would get shot of Adebayor for a start as he has shown his true colours and is truly awful and doesn't deserve another chance. From that list I would let Kane, Gomes, Bentley and Gallas go as well. I would keep the rest but feel Huddlestone and Rose will both be sold as well. Tom hasn't been the same player since his injury and Rose won't settle for being a back up. Get shot of all those though and would get a reasonable amount in to go towards our targets. Mainly a striker and some wingers that ideally can play both sides. A competent left back back up as well as I feel Verts will be a mainstay in central defence next season.

you're right RDBD but I think he has been excellent there. Love it when he cuts inside an pings a monster long ball out to Lennon on the right. Great to see from such a young player

Dempsey is a good player, was showing a lot of promise before his injury.

Bentley's contract ends in the summer.

Heard Gallas might retire? He's only on 30-40k anyway adds a lot to the squad, great experience.

Ade can leave now.

oh I missed out Dempsey. Definitely keep. He's a decent utility player which is a bit of a rarity these days. We've played him in CAM, left wing and as a striker and has always put a shift in even if the quality sometimes lacks.

Agree with most but keep Townsend, Rose, Kane and Falque. They are on low wages and could all develop into very good players.

Gallas - i am happy to keep him for one more year. maybe on a pay as you play deal
Huddlestone - agree. we have moved on from him. hopefully he goes to a good team where he can play every week, like fulham
Dempsey - why would we sell a good squad player with an eye for goal?
Bentley - agreed
Townsend - why would we sell him? wouldnt even get much for him and he has potential.
Adebayor - agreed. fack him off to whoever wants him.
Rose - sell to sunderland
Kane - sell to anyone
Gomes - sell to anyone
Falque - sell to anyone if management dont think he is good enough


Livermore should also be moved on if we can get anywhere up around 5-6 mill for him

I agree with you Chronic, not on a lot of things, but this is spot on.
