Benteke 9 goals and 1 assist from 21 starts (plus that Brighton goal off the bench and yet half the people on here want to get rid of him. Wilf's return since New Year is unimpressive just 3 goals and 0 assists in 12 starts. However, he hasn't seemed quite right since his injury in the Newcastle game.

Steve Parish will be choking on his protein shake reading comments like these.
His two Liverpool mega-buys (Benteke £30m, Sakho £27m) need to be bombed out according to fans.
Let's be honest, getting the chequebook out has been a disaster, particularly bailing out Liverpool's mistakes (see Ibe and Solanki at Bournemouth).
So don't be surprised if the club are careful about spending big because the owners have been financially killed when they dare to do this.

The players that are out of contract in the summer cease to become our players, so they are all free agents.
The club will use this to reduce the wage bill as it will become a market where the players without contracts will be worried about their futures.
I would be very surprised if we paid any transfer fees this summer because there will be a pool of players from the other clubs who need a contract.
Players who have performed well will take the best offer from whatever club and we could lose players that we want to keep because they have been offered better contracts elsewhere.
So except for Zaha and a few others with contracts I expect that we could start next season unrecognisable to todays team. Which underlines the reason why the timing of Roys departure was ineviatable.
So the only players that I would keep are the ones with contracts.

If you're saying ward then you haven't watched any games this season, he's been solid.

In addition to these players I'd resign Clyne(& hope NF actually gets fit) promote Webber up from U23's, Cahill, Kelly, promote Hannam from U23's, Townsend, we have Mateta for next season on loan Shlupp, also hope some of the kids come good ie Rak-Sakyi.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

RELEASE:

Sakho- always injured; now slow and not effective

Ward- great servant but now a defensive liability

McCarthy- injured a lot- doesn't influence the game enough

Dann - now absolutely awful- very slow

Hennessey - not used and a third choice now

Wickham - who is he?

Kelly- hasn't had a good run due to injuries

RETAIN:

Benteke- has improved

Schlupp- key player

PVA- skilful going forward

McArthur- work rate excellent

Cahill- experienced - we need that, even though he can't play every game

Townsend- we will need him as Eze is injured for quite a while

Mateta- not had a proper run, but he does look slow
