So 31 players will have left by the end of this season? I have presumed a few leavers on this list but it still only comes to 20, is Robson including the discarded youth players?

1. Elena Marcelino
2. Steve Howey
3. Daniel Cordone
4. Silvio Maric
5. Duncan Ferguson
6. Alessandro Pistone
7. Temuri Ketsbaia
8. Laurent Charvet
9. Stephen Glass
10. Carl Serrant
11. Lionel Perez
12. Garry Brady
13. Paul Robinson
14. Des Hamilton
15. Stuart Elliott
16. Ian Martin
17. Kevin Gallacher
18. Alain Goma
19. Didier Domi
20. Carl Serrant

Any More?

What are you talking about? where'd you get the figure 31 gone from?

From the Teamtalk site, can anyone who actually saw the interview confirm this is what Robson said? I have slight doubts but they wouldn't make this sort of stuff would they?

"I will have had to get rid of ­and I mean get rid of ­31 players in my time here by the end of the season. What other Premiership manager has had to do that in just two years?"

31 came from YBR but then he thinks Shearer, Barton, Speed and Rob Lee are five players (see other posting) then this 31 may be 24.

Now I know what the problem is, from DeBs list he got rid of Serrant twice. He obviously thought that one of the Serrants was Marcelino.

So, taking our Carl Serrant's twin brother and adding Frank Dumas to that list we have got rid of 20 players. So there are 11 more exits on the cards??!! John Karelse, David Beharall, Jamie McClen, Jamie Coppinger, Brian Kerr??????? These are only suggestions and if they stayed we'd be left with this lot. 28 is a relatively small number for a full squad and means we should really add to our squad not knock it down

1. Shay Given
2. Stephen Harper
3. John Karelse
4. Warren Barton
5. Andy O'Brien
6. Wayne Quinn
7. Nicos Dabizas
8. Aaron Hughes
9. Steve Caldwell
10. Andrew Griffin
11. Gary Caldwell
12. David Beharall
13. Gary Speed
14. Clarence Acuna
15. Nolberto Solano
16. Jamie McClen
17. Christian Bassedas
18. Brian Kerr
19. Stuart Green
20. Robert Lee
21. Diego Gavilan
22. Kieron Dyer
23. Shola Ameobi
24. Alan Shearer
25. Carl Cort
26. Lua-Lua
27. Michael Chopra
28. Jamie Coppinger
