Who should we sell?
« on: May 14, 2012, 05:44:08 PM »
Well, the seasons over, based purely on ability / attitude who do you think should be sold this summer?

I'd say;
Collins
Warnock
N'Zogbia
Delph

And i assume the following are going on free transfers;
Heskey
Cuellar
Beye
Guzan

That's quite a few to replace, but also a lot off the wage bill. Hopefully we can get some Bosmans in, promote from the youth set up and maybe have a few million to spend to replace them all. A big job for any new manager.

Delph? Why him. With a decent injurry free run, and of course keeping out of trouble, he has the makings of a really great player. If we sell him we'd be nuts.

Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Hutton, NZogbia, Albrighton, Ireland
I honestly think we need a massive clear out

Yeah, thought that one might raise an eyebrow and i must admit i saw massive potential before that bad injury a couple of years ago. Doesn't look  like he's recovered or likely to recover to me though, and just keeps getting more injuries. Getting involved in the aggro last week was the icing on the cake, i don't think he'll ever reach his potential.

  For me, the only ones i'd keep, are Eric, Given, Bent, N'Zog, Baker, Ireland, Herd, Weimann....the rest can go as far as i'm concearned.

GOALKEEPERS
Shay Given - In
Brad Guzan - In

DEFENDERS
Alan Hutton - Out
Stephen Warnock - Out
Richard Dunne - Out
James Collins - Out
Ciaran Clark - In
Carlos Cuellar - Out
Enda Stevens - In
Eric Lichaj - In
Nathan Baker - In
Derrick Williams - Untested yet

MIDFIELDERS
Stephen Ireland - In
Jermaine Jenas - Out
Charles N'zogbia - Maybe (sell if right offer comes our way)
Marc Albrighton - In (one more season to see if he can up his game)
Fabian Delph - Undecided
Stiliyan Petrov -
Barry Bannan - In
Chris Herd - In
Daniel Johnson - In

Can't believe people want to sell N'Zogbia and Ireland. They are our only actual 'footballers' in the team. Under a manager that can properly coordinate and offensive strategy I think both of them will become great impact players.

I think Dunne and Collins are both gone. They openly conflict with managers too often and they pretty much gave up on Houllier. Nathan and Ciaran have to step up next year. Go out and get one experienced center back and rotate these two in accordingly.

Hutton just isn't a footballer. Doesn't have the smarts or the ability. He's a decent athlete but I don't think he can cut it at this level and might become a serious liability.

I hate to say this but.. Super Marc. If a decent offer came in for him I'd take it. But he is still fairly young and under a different manager he might flourish. We'll see what happens.

Couldnt agree more.  He has the fast skills needed in the Prem but needs the right manager.

In my view, this discussion comes after a new manager is appointed

"We" shouldn't sell anyone. Different players perform in completely different ways for managers, so we'll just have to see who shines under the new management.

Why does everyone seem to think Collins should be out? He's been great for a lot of the season, and I would fancy him for captain next season.

Zog's shown that he can be a good player, I think he's similar to Stephen Ireland in that sense, and we need to keep giving him opportunities to show himself. Delph, of course, is still only 22, and also has had few opportunities to probe himself.

We can't just get rid of everyone and assume we're going to get better players in, this thread is ridiculous.

GK
I've heard it rumoured that Guzan is a high wage earner - so get rid.

Defence
Hutton - deffo out
Dunne - Mr Goal-a-game - out!
Warock - keep - he does offer something and can cover midfield
Collins - keep as he's experienced and unlikely to get much better without major expense

Midfield and forwards
Agreed!

I wouldn't be upset if both Warnock and Dunne toddled off into the sunset together, Hutton and Collins I would keep. I think we badly need to strengthen midfield more than anything, a priority should be a strong central midfielder who can break up play and isn't Karl Henry.
