Kone, Naisse and McGeady i have no argument with at all - actively moaned about all 3 before we signed them as not being good enough i think.

Also would add Cleverley and one lennon on that list mate, we don't need 3 right wingers - especially when Lennon looks terrible anywhere besides on the right compared to Deulofeu and Mirallas who both can switch effectively, and Cleverley - sorry but just don't see what he is, he's not a left sided mid, hes not a holding mid, not an atatcking mid not good enough to play bang in the centre, he's just one of those players who is equally mediocre in several positions so tends to become a favourite as he can fill in for 3-4 spots

Kone - 30k? Naisse probably something like 50k, McGeady - go knows but say 35k? Lennon - 40-50k? Cleverley - think i read he's on 60k, a lot of wages that could be put to better use their

Rather have the likes of Dowell or Davies filling the bench than the likes of Cleverley or Lennon really

I think I worked it around 20m a year if we could get rid of McGeady, Kone, Niasse, added to Howard, Osman, Hibbert, Pienaar, that would be massive in terms of being able to attract and retain players.

Well I do 1 every year, hence the title, but the squad changes so much over the window, this was in the UG forum, my intention was to move it as there was movement in the squad, but I thought it was maybe needed now rather than littering the Mosh thread.
