Leto, Voronon and Dossena will probably leave. Depending on the position our next signing is, I wouldn't mind seeing Babel leave.

If, and it's an increasingly unlikely if, we sign David Silva, then I wouldn't mind seeing Babel leave, but if we don't then it has to be his last season. If Rafa decides he can be Torres' back up, then I might be happier to see him stay and have one last shot at making it with us.

A very impressive young player from what I've seen so far at just 18 years old...

I think Benitez has more cash to play with than we're being led to believe.

Well the loan has been refinanced, hasn't it? And we could have the money brought back from Keane to use as well, as we didn't spend in January.

You lost money on Keane...?

I know, but we brought back £10m+ which surely shouldn't just disappear into fresh air. It was only 6 months ago, whether we lose or make money shouldn't really matter, as there was money brought into the club through a player sale, which usually means it's Rafa's to spend.

Should mean Eto'o's gone. Wonder who Madrid will get? Ibra? Benzema?

If it's true, I'm sure Perez will be annoyed, as he is after the top Spanish players, too.
