Which first team players' will be gone at season end?

Going round in circles here guys.

We can afford the likes of Cork and Lennon who I assume were both on big money at Swansea and Everton.

Dave Baldwin says we can compete on the wages front but we won't be signing the likes of Ozil on £350k a week (thank God!)

Mee might or might not be ready to jump ship, rumours are circulating around Heaton, who by all accounts has got the bottom lip out.

The reality is we have lost Austin, Trippier, Ings and Keane and in each case we have become stronger for it.

I ain't fretting, if any of our players thinks the grass is greener elsewhere, off you jolly well pop.

We could probably do with a top up anyway...

FFS, we're in agreement yet again.

I know sinkov. The worry is preventing me from sleeping!

Here is my possible list which includes player choices as well as management choices:-
Nkoudou
Ward
Marney
Arfield
Mee
Heaton
Defour??

For what it is worth my opinion of leavers is

Nkoudou - not good enough, just looks out of class
Hendrick - seems to have lost all confidence (if he can get back to early in season then would keep)
Bardsley - oldish and down the pecking order (did fairly well when he came in but age is against him)
Walters - also oldish and down the pecking order (not playing enough)
Wells - down pecking order and does not make an impact when coming on pitch (keep as bench man)
Marney - oldish and down pecking order (like this man gives 100 but age against him)
Arfield - looks like he is off to Rangers (works really hard gives 100 every time)
Legzdins - not in the frame at all (strange signing in first place)
O'Neill - not good enough (young enough and gives his all but not quite good enough)
Lennon - bit of an enigma, not enough impact in a game
Lindersgaard (never featured)
Heaton looks like being a no.2 he may have to go but hope not he is class.

The loss of such players need to be replaced by better to put pressure on the remainers
