Baby Bent
Marcus Bent
Hasselwank
Herman
Thomas
Rommedahl
The loan players
Young
For me the above will deffo go
El Kak maybe
STAY
Going by Pards comments that 10% of the squad will go the rest will surely stay.
You just know we'll get someone like Marlon Harewood in it is cast in stone Pardew will go for him.

I think Herman will stay, I think M Bent may too - who else will pay him £25k per week? Hopefully somebody can offer us a million or two for Thomas and for Ambrose too. Despite failing to live up to his first three performances, it would be great if we could buy Song for a the same amount. I think Hughes could be a top player for us next season! Presumably Kish will go.
Young - West Ham possibly
Gibbs - will leave for nothing
Diawoowoo - back to france
Reid - Birmingham poss
Song & zz - go back to clubs
Rommedhal - good fu***ng riddance
Marcus Bent - off, my bet would be one of the playy off winners
Darren Bent Liverpool
Jimmy - whoever will pay him 30k a week
The rest will stay, and hopefully get some players in who will wear the shirt with pride and determination
Andy Reid, mate, nobody is going to buy him (apart from us, of course) with his injury record.
The rest of them you probably have right.

Bang on and Pardew referred to that in his post-match, he said that you had to "leave your egos behind" or you will come heavily unstuck in the CCC.
Birmingham seem to have about 8 new players in their side and Sunderland almost as many.
Romm - out of contract
Bent - for sale
Young - for sale
Carson, ZZ, Song - back to clubs
Diwarra - for sale
Gibb?
Senior Stayers
Reid - worth trying to keep hold of
Big Bent - who would have him
JFH - new role for him apparently
Holland - could do a job in the Championship
Hughes -
Lisbie -
Lloyd Sam -
Have I missed anyone?
Team (so far..)
Randolph
Sankofa Elk Magic Thatcher/Herm
Thomas Holland Hughes/Reid Ambrose/Lloyd Sam
Dickson Big Bent/Lisbie
Could that lot get us promoted?
Going to be interesting this summer
Keeper is untested, we need an experienced keeper.
Back four is fine.
Midfield would be too lightweight by a long way, we need a midfield strong man like Muamba at Brum to really dominate the middle. I think Holland and Hughes need to go elsewhere although Thomas and Ambrose might do a job.
Attack - woeful. A combination of a bloke with a bad back who could not give a toss and a rookie who has just left Dulwich Hamlet.
That doesn't look like a promotion team to me. Reid and Ambrose would do well on past performances in that league but not sure the strikers would score enough. Lisbie hardly set that division alight at Norwich on loan a season or so back and who can tell with M Bent. Need more pace and snap in centre midfield.
Can someone please explain to me how Curbishley can buy Jerome Thomas from the Arse reserves and yet overlook Steve Sidwell who goes on a free to Reading?
Unfucking believable.
Our attack and midfield are far too lightweight. I think Hughes and holland should stay as they will be good players at championship level. I'm not saying hughes should start but he'd be a useful squad player. If we can sign Jarvis, plus we have the young danish player as well who seems highly rated. Keep Ambrose and hopefully Thomas as well. Hopefully Reid will now be sorted out and get a good pre-season behind him. Definitely need 2 strikers, hopefully Eastwood and wouldn't be surprised to see Pardew go for Harewood. Don't think he'd be a disaster in the championship anyway.
Evidently, Sidwell will be signing for Chelski on a free in the summer
Precisely. He is just the sort of player we should have brought in to replace Parker, do we not have a scouting department?
I know I've said it before but how did Ashton go to Norwich before us?
What about all the decent players Pards took to the Spammers? How come we did not get any of them either?
Our acquisitions policy over the last three years has been awful, apart from Dazza.
An experienced keeper, a couple of strikers, a running/tackling midfielder are basics we need.
No one else to blame on that count apart from Curbishley and Dowie. I have every faith in Pards to turn things around
;-)
Bloody hope not, AFKA is taller than him.
Half decent shot stopper but has been totally found out at Championship level, 6 inches too short for a keeper (ooh err missus)
Healy surely has to be looking to move on from Leeds, although one of the premiership clubs might be a more likely destination.
I thought he'd left quite a good impression on Cardiff and Ipswich? I must admit i haven't seen him play much at all and i guess most fans like someone who tries hard!
The Urban myth went that Steve Brown at Reading urged Curbishley to sign Sidwell as a Parker replacement three years ago, instead he chose Bryan Hughes...enough said
As does paying 2.5 million for Marcus Bent but not paying 3.5 million for Dean Ashton.....
As does paying 3.75 million for Gary Rowett when you know his knees are shot......
......or 2.5 million for Jeffers who was never going to fit in.....
Unlike previous managers we also know that Pardew can do a job on signings and the squad.
No-one on this thread has mentioned that Kish can do a job in centre mid at this level so I agree that the defence above is OK but Midfield / Attack should be changed from to:
Thomas/Ambrose Holland/Hughes Kish Reid
Someone New! Bent/Lisbie
With Sam and Ambrose on the bench
With no Sunderland or West Ham to worry about I just do not see a problem
Look at our last Championship winning side....
Kiely (proven at that level)
Shield - Rufus (class) - Youds/Tiler/Brown (all proven) - Powell (proven)
Stuart (proven) - Kinsella (class) - K Jones (proven) - Robinson (proven)
Hunt (class) - Mendonca (proven)
======
Next year we have....
No keeper
A solid defence, admittedly.
No quality centre midfielders and lighweight wingers
Marcus Bent and Lisbie up front.
We need some major surgery up front and in the middle of the park, we need FOUR quality players in those positions.
