Newcastle are looking at taking McCarthy and super kev on permanent deals and sandro on loan.

I’d be happy with that, not sure about letting Sandro go out on loan tho unless we have another striker ready to come in.

Quite honestly you could let Sandro go and I wouldn’t notice him gone. I know he’s not been given a run but to be fair we’ve managed to get ourselves out of trouble without him.

I for one wouldn't have any issues with those exits. Mirallas for me has had all the opportunities to prove he can deliver for us that he deserves and I would have Lookman, Vlasic, Lennon and Sigurdsson in the wide forward positions before him. We also have Dowell to come back next year along with Onyekuru who will both need game time for their development.

While McCarthy can be quality when he is fit, he has been unavailable for what feels like most of the last 2 years and do we really need another central midfielder anyway? We have Schneiderlein, Gana, Davies, Rooney, Sigurdsson, all of which probably get in the side before McCarthy and offer the differing blend of steel and creativity you want from your central midfield options. Add to that the need to give Baningime game time for his development and the rumoured attempts to sign Nzonzi then it will be a very crowded position.

Getting their wages off the books to free up money for the players Allardyce needs I think would be good business even if we can't get much of a fee for them.

Sandro hasn't really shown much since he arrived but I am still hopeful there is a player in there somewhere and desparate for him to succeed with us (along with Klaasen) . Sandro needs game time to adjust to the Premier League if he is ever going to make it with us. I am not sure he will get the opportunities at Everton as he won't displace Calvert-Lewin who has been exceptional and there are strong rumours another striker will be bought early in this window which would make him 3rd choice. If he can go out on loan, get game time in a weaker squad, develop as a footballer and then help us next year then great.

Whilst Sandro hasn’t been played, an injury to Dom and we are really in it, shame Oumar hasn’t been given much of a chance by Sam.

I agree. I think he won't be going anywhere unless we get a new centre forward in January for the very point you make.

I love Niasse because of his attitude and would love him to be the answer. I wish more of our players had the same attitude but am I yet to be convinced he is good enough going forward. I hate the way Koeman treated him but I fear his assessment of Niasse's ability might have been fairly accurate.

Lets hope Niasse gets his chance and proves us doubters wrong.
