For me we need a massive clear out in the summer.
This is only my thoughts.
Drop howard to be number 2 goile
Distan. Free to leave
Alcatras. 500k to a cham club
Barry. Who ever wants him for free.
Mirallas 15m. Been told spurs want him
Pinner. 1mil some where abroad.
Kone. 3m. A promoted team or champ team.
Mcgreedy 2m same as above.
Baines 18-20m. Make garbutt first choice with new 5 year contract.
Thats the outs
Ins
Lennon 6-7m buy out clause
Astu. 8m buy out clause
Alderwedian (spelling)? Could push for first team.
That french monaco striker can't remeber name
A 20m Attack mid signing ( marquee siging)
And there's a good few Frees out there this year so I would take 2-3 of those in the areas where we would be short.
And use next season as a gelling season and hope for a good run with the right players.
My team would be.
Rolbes
Colman. Jags. Stones. Garbutt.
Lennon. McC. Besic. Astu
Barkley/marquee signing
The beast.
Or
Rolbes
Stones. Jags. Alder
Coleman. Garbutt
McC besic
Barkley. Marquee Att mid.
Beast
Think if we had a squad like these we should challange for some thing.
Whats you throughtz ed25 and the rest of you
{Ed025's Note - its a lot of changes yorkie, and i think we do need a major overhaul but maybe not as many as that mate..

I wouldn't want Atsu to be honest, I don't think he has shown enough to warrant a permanent contract. Maybe a cheeky bid for Deulofeu instead.
24 Mar 2015 19:41:33
And I don't think Deulofeu did enough either to warrant us to waste money by buying him.
{Ed025's Note - that depends on the price jimmy..
24 Mar 2015 20:37:50
To be honest Ed025s any fee plus his wage demands wouldn't warrant us to buy him imo, he jut didn't do enough for me.Apart from the Arsenal cameo and goal at the emirates, every time I watched him he was a disapointment dare I say a lazy primadonna. Who hasn't pulled up any trees since returning to Barca and being sent out on loan to Sevilla I think
{Ed025's Note - i agree to a certain extent jimmy, what he does have is potential mate and a lot of skill, if someone could harness it they could have a great player on their hands mate..
24 Mar 2015 21:11:25
He is far from the finished article that is for sure Jimmy, in terms of potential I think he has more to offer than Atsu.
24 Mar 2015 21:40:26
Atsu has been used sparingly as a winger by Martinez. He was player of the tournament in the African Cup when played in his proper position in the centre, another square peg in a round hole so he's not had a chance here.
{Ed025's Note - i think he can play on the wing rick, but as you say he was never really given a chance..
25 Mar 2015 08:58:08
Victor Moses was voted African nations player if the tournament, so doesn't really mean much that one!

Agree with players out other than baines. We have missed the boat with getting a big fee for him so I would keep him and he still has a lot to offer us. wouldn't bring atsu in feel there is better out there. would like to get delefeu back, if lennon puts in more good performances keep him, however let's not get carried away by a couple of games. Ayew looks like he is on our radar aswel think he is out of contract. I think robles should play to the end of the season, 8 games to give him a chance to prove he is good enough, then decide if we need a keeper. I would also give a few of the young lads a go like browning ledson galoway, even if only for last 20 minutes or so, because feel we are safe now and we need to build for next season. Will also give the senior players a kick up the a##e to show that they need to up their performances. We still have good young players they just need a new manager to guide them.

Well said robbie and sean, i'd personally sell baines to anyone for any price in a heartbeat. he's not done anything since moyes' second to last season, he refuses to go forward, something bryan and luke do even without help. he's probably the worst one on one defender at the club, his set pieces are some of the worst in the league and dare I say it, he doesn't look the slightest bit arsed to me. Bet he wishes he did leave, I wish he did, he's slower, weaker, worse on the ball and shows less passion than either oviedo or garbutt, but again, the main point for me is in my opinion, he doesn't actually care.
