I'm looking at:

out: Warnock, Beye, A Young, Heskey, Carew, Ireland (although annoyingly he's almost exactly the player we need to play in a 4-3-3!) - £26m

in: keeper, Walker if at all possible though I doubt it, Samba / Johnson, Olsson, N'Zogbia, Ba, attacking midfielder (not sure who) - £45m.

I'd rather we looked for some of our signings from further a field, likely to be better value. Also not too keen on signing lots of players from teams scrapping at the bottom.

Which is what I believe we will do if GED if healthy enough to stay on. His network really is key to bringing down our wage bill.

N'Zogbia would want a move to a bigger club as soon as he'd managed about five good minutes. A no from me.

n'zogbia  scored two great goals today quite an individual but if houl stays think he can replace ash. scott sinclair swansea lewis mcgugan of forest and shane long reading are worth a punt if they don't make it up...  tommy hitz come back ...

I'd try and get Foster out of the swamp to keep goal for us.

Long and der hammer aren't good enough for what we should be aiming for. The more I see of him, the more I'd like N'Zogbia.

Carew has already gone apparently.

I still maintain we should link Bent up with Sturridge or Gervinho.

Both Maz. Both are young and exciting and would give us a bit of genuine flair to replace Ash.

Of the ones relegated or possibly going down this is a list of all those maybe worth a look...

Ba, Parker, - Wessam
Diame, Al Habsi, N'Zogbia nad McCarthy. Maybe Figuoroa, Wigan
Johnson, Foster, Larsson - Blues
Samba, Hoillet, Robinson - Blackburn
Jarvis, Doyle - Wolves
Adam,..... maybe Campbell as a backup forward likely to score goals? - Blackpool

Would he be available considering the money he was reported to be on when he first signed to Chelski?

Isn't Al Habsi only on loan at Wigan from Bolton?

If we're looking for a replacement for Ash I'd go for that Adel Taarabt - there's rumour he'll look to leave QPR if/when they sack Warnock.  19 goals from midfield would do nicely thanks!

People said that when we picked up Young from Watford.
