Holman , KEA , Hutton , Ireland , Stephens ,  Eric , Dunne , Bannan , Dawkins , Fonz , Given and Makoun

We would not miss any of them     -  goodbye

I still think there's huge potential in Bannan and Fonz.  In the case of Fonz, he's still very young!

I'd agree with all that JP. I'd possibly add N'Zogbia into the mix too. For his wages he's far too inconsistent. We can't hope he has half a dozen good games a year when he feels like it.  I'd also offload Bent, though I'm sure he just slipped your mind. I think if we get around 15 for Bent and Zog we'll have done okay.

Then we buy a top quality centre back, midfielder and another decent young forward. And a few decent additions where we need it.

I'd give the iffy youngsters another go to see if they've learnt anything. They were thrown in the deep end so we might as well see if they benefit from it. Anyone brought this season should get another try, Holman and KEA included. Most of them aren't a drain on our resources and they could adapt

Shifting the Likes of Dunne, Hutton and Ireland goes without saying.

Fonz N'Zogbia and Albrighton regretably need to go

Basically, offload all the older overpaid lazy bastards, and buy you hungry players on a fair wage. I think that is Lambert's idea also.

Probably go with that too, nzogbia has shown in glimpses what he can do but for the wages hes on and the fee he cost he has been disappointing in the main.

Bent is too good to be a bench player and probably would prefer a move for regular football - £12m could get us a couple of decent players in defence and midfield .

Fonz has been around a while now, if bent goes then maybe Fonz could be retained but he needs to up his game at this level- regarding bannan I would be happy to get a couple of million for him.

Fonz has done ok on loan this season. I think in time he will be a premier league player personally, it will just take a while. Another season on loan maybe going to Holloway at Palace would do him good. If he is happy to go on loan and develop, I would keep him on the books.

Fonz hasnt looked good for Blackpool Billy and we should be looking for a top midfield in the summer to replace Ireland and Bannan .

No Bent had not slipped my mind to be fair. I would only sell him for good money . First we have to have Benteke and Weimann here for next season before we sell him and the other thing is , if we ever lost Benteke or even Weiman to a long injury we would have serious problems. I actually think we have the best strike force ( 4 players ) in the Prem.

Until the second half of this season I would have said let Gabby go too. He'd been poor for a couple of seasons before that. Its one of Lambert's achievements getting him contributing again.

I'd would'nt selling Bent. He's still got a part to play and seems happy enough.

He'll be gone. He's on too much money and we won't tolerate those wages anymore.
