Who will go in the summer?

[bigfooty]

A lot depends on in Rafa stays or goes.

Assuming he stays I expect Voronin, Sami, Crouch, Riise, Kewell and Pennant to leave.

[redblood]

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

I'd agree with most of that except I think Sami might get another year depending om whether Agger recovers and if Skrtel pans out ok.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Who I'd like to see go:

Kuyt - poor
Voronin - same as Kuyt
Kewell - Done
Alonso - with Lucas improving and Mascher signing now's the time to cash in on him, not a popular opinion I know
Riise - good servant but we need better now
Pennant - He's utter gash for mine, 1 goal in 70 odd games?
Sissoko - for the cash
Carson - same as Sissoko
Guthrie - won't get in the team, take the money
Leto - if he hasn't gone already

Who I think will go:

Crouch - only 18 months left, so he either signs a new deal or get's sold, considering the number of appearances he's made, even with the awful form of Voronin and Kuyt, it looks like the latter.
Kuyt or Voronin - one will go but not both, most likely Voronin.
Kewell - as above
Carson - as above
Sissoko - as above
Leto - as above
Guthrie - as above
Finnan - reckon he could be replaced for a more offensive option.
Riise - as above

[Sir Bob]

Assuming Rafa stays I'd expect the following to go.
Carson
Riise
Crouch
Momo (if he doesn't go in this window)
Guthrie

I doubt Sami or kewell will go as they won't fetch a fee and with very little to spend it'll be cheaper to give them a new short term contract. sure they are on big wages but so will be any replacements.

I doubt Voronin will go because it would cost more than the fee we'd get to pay him off.

cunt

[Darth Marty]

this summer Kuyt, finnan, crouch, voronin, pennant, hobbs, alonso will be sold.

[REDSCOUSER]

Crouch : cant see him getting a new contract plus he aint that consistent enough to be a lfc player.
Riise : one of our poorest players of the past 18 months, only reason hes still here cos we have no better options
Voronin : average player and not very lfc material
Kewell : never fit unfortunately
Pennant : another average player that cost us an arm and a leg, sell him please rafa

[El Jefecito]

Does anyone reckon any of the reserves / lads on loan will make the step into the squad to replace any of them?

Guthrie? Anderson? Insua?

Can't see it myself.

[1 True Red]

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.

My guess would be: Riise, Veronin, Sami, Crouch, Pennant

[El Jefecito]

My guess would be: Riise, Veronin, Sami, Crouch, Pennant

You don't think Kuyt has had his chance? We can't afford a striker who can't score.

[Montana]

My guess is ......

Kewell - free
Carson - £8-£10m
Voronin - £1-£2m
Riise - £6-£7m
Crouch - £10-£12m
Hyypia - free
Guthrie - £1m-£3m
Leto - £1-£2m

£27m-£36m raised

I think he might give Kuyt & Pennant another year but if we sold them too we'd have another £12m-£15m

Add Carson and Kewell to that list as well. I doubt Pennant will be sold but he's not good enough either. Amazing after 4 years of rebuilding, we need another monster clearout

Kewell - free
Carson - £8-£10m

I agree with that list however I feel Rafa might keep Leto and send him out on loan.

[Tee]

I think the following players will be gone:

Crouch (10m), Voronin (2m), Kewell (Free), Riise (5m), Sami (Free) and Momo (9m - if he hasn't gone by Thursday).

Thats 26m in the coffers and the first years interest payment nearly paid.
