Good thread Tibby! 
Generally agree with what you've put; my thoughts:
DEFENCE
Ollson - also got a years extension hasn't he? Can be very good but best days are gone IMO
Gamboa & Poco - would love to see them both in our team but obviously not rated by TP......RB and especially LB players def needed........
.........as is PACE at the back!!! DESPERATELY! **
MIDFIELD
Mozza - get him signed ASAP - if he isn't hankering after a return to Boro. Where would we get another player of his ability, and at what cost?
Gardner - would keep - can be a very effective player, can also be so frustrating, but always puts a shift in
McClean - still undecided!
Fletcher - (how did you miss HIM out??!) keep....but =
Yacob - (got my helmet on now) don't think we can/SHOULD play Fletch and him together....I'd cash Yacob in (weren't there some rumours about us making some money on selling him to an Italian club?) and keep...
SANDRO - seems to have a better all round game to me, and anyone who's got 17 or so appearances for Brazil can't be THAT bad
FORWARDS
Rondon - keep - on his own!
Big job to do here!
** In my humble opinion,
the lack of pace in our current back line is why we have to play so deep; this gives good technical players the space to control the game against us, which they nearly always do! Let's go to a more pressing, harrying type of game - I think we'd see a completely different TP style of team then, more like when he was at Palace
