Although I am very skeptical I was interested to hear that the Newcastle United squad will be overhauled this summer that Mike Ashley has realised the errors of his ways and will invest in players. I don't plan on holding my breath on this, but hope to be pleasantly surprised.
With that in mind, I have broken down our squad giving my opinion on who we should keep, and who we should move on. I have used the following 5 categories:
Starters - Players I believe merit a first team spot next season
Keep - Players I would be happy to keep in the first team squad
Can go - Players I would not miss if they were moved on this summer, but could retained as squad players.
Gone - Players I want to see moved on this summer
U21's - The young players we have not had a chance to judge.
