2 Luke Young (D) - would like him to stay but probably one of our only saleable assetts - think he might stick around
3 Hermann Hreidarsson (D) - legs have gone, should go
4 Amdy Faye (M) - get rid asap
5 Andy Reid (M) - will still be here & still as injury prone as ever
7 Marcus Bent (F) - eff off
8 Matt Holland (M) - keep
10 Darren Bent (F) - bye bye with thanks
11 Darren Ambrose (M) - who else would want him, will still be here
12 Kevin Lisbie (F) - get rid to league 2/3 side
14 Jerome Thomas (M) - will still be here unless someone like fulham comes in with 1mil
15 Talal El Karkouri (D) - get rid
17 Cory Gibbs (D) - who?
18 Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink (F) -will retire
19 Dennis Rommedahl (F) - will wimp out for someone else
20 Bryan Hughes (M) - will probably leave as he has no future under pards
22 Madjid Bougherra (D) - jury out on the money spent but will obviously still be here
23 Souleymane Diawara (D) - hope he stays
27 Rob Elliot (G) - who knows?
28 Osei Sankofa (D) - if under contract should still be here
31 Alistair John (M) - get rid
32 Ben Thatcher (D) - will be here if under contract
33 Darren Randolph (G) - i guess our no 1 keeper until we bring in more experience
36 Thomas Myhre (G) - gone
39 Rurik Gislason (M) - can't comment but i guess he could come into it
so from that squad the ones i guess will still be around are.........
young
reid
holland
ambrose
thomas
gibbs
bougherra
diawara
elliott
sankofa
thatcher
randolph
gislason
dickson
i suspect borat & faye will still be here too - but it's plain from the above that we are some way short of a team capable of challenging for promotion - especially in the goalkeeping/striking area
interesting times ahead

3 HH (D) - Worth keeping in the Championship, you need battlers at places like Turf Moor
4 Amdy Faye (M) - Will do a job, probably saleable though
5 Andy Reid (M) - Hopefully the op will make a difference, if so, he'll pick Championship defenses to pieces
7 Marcus Bent (F) - keep, and in a strange way, I think he'll score plenty in the CCC
8 Matt Holland (M) - keep
10 Darren Bent (F) - Good luck and hopefully a top 4 club
11 Darren Ambrose (M) - A decent player, technically a really good player, I wouldn't be surprised if a decent Premiership club came in for him
12 Kevin Lisbie (F) - good bye
14 Jerome Thomas (M) - Reputation will get him a move
15 Talal El Karkouri (D) - Saleable
17 Cory Gibbs (D) - Cheap, might be a good option
18 Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink (F) -will retire
19 Dennis Rommedahl (F) - out of contract
20 Bryan Hughes (M) - Keep, CCC player, who will do us a very good
22 Madjid Bougherra (D) - Highly rated at that level, should do us a good job
23 Souleymane Diawara (D) - Sale able, will attract clubs like Portsmouth etc
27 Rob Elliot (G) - The lesser of the two young keepers I would say
28 Osei Sankofa (D) - Not good enough in the Premiership, not sure he's good enough for the Championship
31 Alistair John (M) - No idea if he's good enough
32 Ben Thatcher (D) - Let us down today, but a year on his contract, probably with a reduction in wages, good for a season
33 Darren Randolph (G) - Going to back up again, as I suspect Pards has his eyes on a keeper for next season
36 Thomas Myhre (G) - gone
39 Rurik Gislason (M) - Is he worth the hype
Then Dickson, Arter, Basey, Wright and Aswad Thomas might do something, Gareth Bale this season has proved, that if your good enough, your old enough, and the CCC gives you a chance to blood these players.
Kish: has apparently done well at Leeds, maybe he'll be useful next season as we won't have Song and hopefully Faye will go.
Fortune: Championship probably his level but we may have enough central defenders without him.
Youga, Weston, Walker: I've not seen enough of them to comment.
Rothko, agree with your comments re M. Bent and B. Hughes.
