It’s been three days since Newcastle United were officially relegated to the Sky Bet Championship, and with their meaningless final game of the season on the horizon, the agents of some of United’s mercenaries will be trying to find their clients a new club for next season.

After missing out on the lucrative Premier League TV deal, Newcastle’s hierarchy will be looking to acquire funds by selling a number of players during the summer.

Here, I look at who should be retained and who should be shifted on over the next few months.
