Cole- get rid
Richardson- get rid quicker
Given-keep
Robinson- send him back to Preston asap!
The rest- clear out and get better quality in.

I wouldn't send Robinson to Preston. He couldn't get a game for them last year and it would seem less likely now they've been promoted and will, presumably, be signing more players.

Loan him to somewhere he's guaranteed to get games. Not Small Heath or Leeds though as I don't want to help them out!

Errrrr, he played consistently at Preston and was robbed of a day out at Wembley when Sherwood recalled him for the Burnley game and sat his arse on the bench!

With the possible exception of Robinson, ditch the lot of them. We need a new start.

Shay Given            Not sure about Steer so keep him for the year and look for a top keeper to compete with Guzan
Ciaran Clark           Keep, at times last year he showed how he had matured. Needs to keep his hands off players in the box though.
Nat Baker              Sell, would get a couple of mill for him
Kieron Richardson Sell, not contributed anything
Leandro Bacuna    Keep, gives us options
Phillipe Senderos  Controversial but I'd keep, first part of the season was inspired
Joe Bennett aged  Keep, I wonder how much the bullying of the players by the coaches hampered their development and screwed their confidence
Joe Cole                Sell or release, taking a place Gil or one of the kids could occupy. £20,000 a week freed up.
Charlie N'zogbia    Probably couldn't pay someone to take him 
Gary Gardner        Keep and use to see if he can hack it.
Chris Herd            Release, too old to improve, probably a Forest or Ipswich level player
Callum Robinson  Keep and promote to first team squad permanently

Keep them all... and get them selling drinks, pies, programmes etc when not considered good enough or fit enough for the matchday squad. I don't mind high wages if people work hard for what they pick up.

Kind of agree and it extends to other contracted players too - westwood , Gabby, Tonev, Sylla, Helinius.
Sherwood has a mammoth job on his hands.

Yes, added to this list in deciding what to do with them are the assorted riffraff returning from loan spells - Luna, Tonev, Sylla, Helenius...anymore? What a mountain of hasbeens and nevergonnas. It's a good thing Tim is a positive person. Going through this list is enough to make a sane Villa fan weep.

Nice to see some love for Phil - he was pretty good in the 1st 4 matches of the season - then we played Arsenal/Chelsea/ity with our usual level of success - I more  sub appearance - and he was crocked, iirc

Weird injury. Lambert then Sherwood kept saying it would be "a couple of weeks" but no sign of him the rest of the season.

Shay Given. Stuck with. Ideally sell/give away to free up wages
Ciaran Clark Keep
Nathan Baker Keep
Kieron Richardson Sell
Leandro Bacuna Keep
Phillipe Senderos Sell
Joe Bennett Sell
Joe Cole. Stuck with. Ideally sell/give away to free up wages
Charlie N'zogbia Raffle
Gary Gardner Keep
Chris Herd Sell
Callum Robinson Keep

For the "sells" Other than N'Zogbia and Given I don't think we've got any meaningful transfer fees to lose out on (for once).
If Sherwood really wants rid and if the players can find clubs we could literally give them away (plus their loyalty bonuses #pukes#)
