Shoe-ins for the door?

[NIred1]

Voronin needs to be bundled to whatever club will take him. He doesn't suit the prem that much is clear. Back to Germany, a smaller club than Leverkusen too most likely.

[Shaggy]

Riise has done well for us in the past. Not good enough anymore though.

Still, he's had some great games and great goals to remember him by. Everyone always remembers the one against Man Utd. But I remember the one he scored at Highbury. Great pass by Stevie with the outside of the boot and a great run and finish by Riise. The fact he doesn't seem capable of these runs anymore is the very reason we should get rid of him now.

That was a great, great goal but it seems sooooooooooo long ago. I can hardly imagine Riise playing like that anymore. Seems he peaked in his early 20s. He's been dog**** for 2-3 years.

Absolute certainties for the door IMO:

Riise
Kewell
Crouch

Probables:

Voronin
Pennant
Finnan

You can add Carson to that list, i am one of the premier clubs would want him even if we have to sell him around 6m i would settle for that.

there is no way crouch will stay, kuyt needs to be shown the door but he'll be too busy keeping rafa happy with his high work rate

Jeez, Im so sick and tired of all your Kuyt bashing. Will you give it a rest? He has been one of our best players in the past 3 months. We got within inches of the Champions League final because of Dirk Kuyt. He Scored and played awesome against Arsenal and Inter Milan. We would not have beaten those 2 massive clubs if it wasnt for Dirk Kuyt. And it isnt just those 4 matches. He was brilliant last week against Chelsea also.

He is one of the top scorers in the champions league

Give it a ****ing rest. Dirk Kuyt is a good player to have around and he doesnt brilliantly for us

Not good enough for the first team on a week to week basis. He's had two seasons and he has not proved good enough.

That doesnt mean we should sell him though. He been fantastic. You dont win trophies with just 11 players. You need a brilliant SQUAD

[Le Chef]

Arbeloa should be on that list - Another poor performer in the last few months. I can't see that many leaving though - Evolution as opposed to revolution - 3 in and 3 out in my opinion

Yeah, there are worse players to replace before him.

i would prefer him to park and fletcher as squad players.

[Kev_81]

Leto is on his way to Espanyol i think (on loan with a view to permanent deal), read it the other day. To replace Riera maybe

[Kopite_Colin]

For me the following have to go:

Crouch
Kuyt
Voronin
Carson
Riise
Pennant
Kewell
Le Tallec

Maybe Guthrie & one of Finnan, Aurelio & Arbeloa

Coming in we need

2 strikers (1 top quality goalscoring striker)
an Att MF (No.10 type)
Left Winger
Left Back

Maybe a right back too. Also quality replacement for Alonso if he goes.

Jeez 3 months doesn't make a season and he's supposed to be a striker!

you like him i think he's limited. i'd be pleased if he was sold, he's not a squad player he's first choice and thats whats wrong. if he was used as a squad player i wouldn't mind so much.

[rage]

For me the following have to go:

Crouch 8 Million
Kuyt 6 Million
Voronin a haircut
Carson 6 Million
Riise 4 Million
Pennant 4 Million
Kewell save 1 million
Le Tallec thank god its end of contract

Maybe Guthrie & one of Finnan, 2 Million

Coming in we need

2 strikers (1 top quality goalscoring striker)
an Att MF (No.10 type)
Left Winger
Left Back (Right back for me Im sure aurelio & insua can do a job there with arbeloa being able to cover both sides)

Maybe a right back too. Also quality replacement for Alonso if he goes.

I've been conservative with what i think we'll get for 'em but that still gives us £30 million. even with a usual budget of 20 million that gives us 50 odd million. time for quality. I'd be ecstatic with just one world class striker and one full back in the transfer window

Thats stupid logic. You want him sold because he is a first team player and not on the bench?

Dirk Kuyt is a vital member of our squad. You obviously did notice him scoring into Inter, Arsenal, Chelsea and Porto but to name a few. He had a difficult start to the season when he lost his father and his confidence drained. But he sorted himself out and has barely put a foot wrong in the last few months. He has been on of our best players lately and yet you want him sold.

Your one of those fans who makes a judgement on a player and then cannot change your opinion no matter how well the player plays

No way Hicks will let us spend 50m NET, half that and we would be doing well,
I am not looking forward to the summer
