Who will go in the summer?

[El Jefecito]

We were talking elsewhere about how Rafa usually shifts the dead wood pretty quickly, so I'm wondering if we really do have 45m from the loan and the usual 20m from Rafa's sales who would you have out the door first?

Riise, Kuyt and Voro for me.

[Shaggy]

Personally I'd have Riise, Kuyt, Pennant and Voronin all out.

Crouch will be first out of the door, though, IMO.

I can't imagine us selling three strikers but if Crouch is being shipped out then the other two certainly warrant the same fate.

[livvy145]

Alonso, Hyypia, Leto, Pennant, Riise and Kuyt.

Can't see any of them staying.

[disco]

Agree with all of that.... except Alonso

[Red Chilli]

Alonso, Hyypia, Leto, Pennant, Riise and Kuyt.

Can't see any of them staying.

[MascheredUp]

Crouch is gone.

He'll only have 12 months left on his contract.

The only way he'll sign a new one if Rafa isn't manager.

My guess is that Kuyt will stay.

It's not that I want to him to go. Personally, I think his game suits the Spanish league more.

[Red Chilli]

Can anyone see Barry staying?

I hope so, just so I can hear charliemansonsquint`s screeams of anguish from the highlands

[El Jefecito]

Alonso, Hyypia, Leto, Pennant, Riise and Kuyt.

Can't see Hyypia going, he's been ace this season. You'll never find a better backup CH.

I can't see Pennant going either just because it'll be hard to get two better RW.

Alonso won't go, at least I hope not.

Interesting no-one said Kewell yet or is that just assumed.

Got me ignore have you, you **** :whatever:

Nah, you posted while I was replying to Livvy. Don't be so sensitive.

[Red Chilli]

Just checking

[Shaggy]

My guess is that Kuyt will stay.

That would be rather

[DannyMan2006]

I think quite a few of our players will need to up their game to have a chance of staying.

But that's only if I was manager. With Rafa you can never really tell what he's thinking. But with the performances most of the tea are putting in I could see as many as half the team leaving. Obviously not all are going to go, but there's a big pool f palyers in which someone could be sold and have no complaints.
