Maybe a little premature but who is going at the end of the season and who deserves to stay? We have some loan players but who will take permanent contracts??

For me -
Keep:- Silvestri, Byram, Bellusi, Berardi, Wootton, C Taylor, Cooper, Austin, Murphy, Cook, Mowatt & Antenucci
Sign:- Bamba, Montenegro & Del Fabro.
Leave:- Cairns, White, Tonge, Bianchi, Cani & Morison (yes I know he works hard, so did Hunt, you can't have a striker who doesn't score).
Undecided:-
S Taylor- We need a back up keeper and probably not on a big wage. Would love to see us bring in a rated youngster to understudy though.
Adryan- Bags of skill and could grow into a top prem level player but 3m is really steep, especially when he can't get in the first team. Another loan or a drastic price drop and I would keep him.
Sloth- Older than the likes of Cook, Mowatt and Byram (If not much) so he should be fighting tooth and nail every opportunity he gets but isnt. Maybe a bit overwhelmed at a big move and will do a Murphy and it will click for him. Useful squad player but wouldn't be too upset to see him leave.
Ngoyi- Good rep but can't really say much about a player I haven't even seen in the shirt. Hopefully he will get a game or too before seasons end and if not maybe another loan chance?
Doukara- Has potential, I swear he does. Reminds me of when Drogba first joined Chelski. A bit lazy, falls down too easy for a big guy but can finish and has skill on the ball, not saying he will come good like Drogba did. I don't know really torn on this guy.
Sharp- A good poacher is hard to find. They win you tight games. Also he wants to stay, has turned down clubs further up the league to stay. That said its a long time since he has had a big goal return (2010-2011 season) and he doesn't like playing as a lone striker. If we bring in a decent striker and get a good fee I would let him leave, if not i'm happy to have him for another season.
All that said the biggest thing is keeping hold of Cook, Mowatt, Byram and C Taylor. With big teams circling (Liverpool for one) I would be surprised if all 4 are still in the Leeds shirt come september. Hopefully first team football and repaying Redfern wins out over money.

First teamers to let go / sell: Austin, Sharp, Morison, Wooton (we need more quality in those areas, and those players are not promotion-quality).
Fringe players to release: Thompson, Sloth, Bianchi (both too slow and unassertive), Montenegro, Cani, Ajose, Tonge.Probably Adryan & Del Fabro too, as neither has made much of case for themselves to be kept.
Essentially, we all know which players we need to be building a team around, and which ones we probably need to jettison to have a realistic chance of progressing.
I'm more optimistic than for several years though.
Onwards and upwards!
