We asked for your views on one player you would be prepared to see leave Newcastle in the summer and a couple of names who would be realistic targets for Eddie Howe's side.
Here are some of your comments:
Mark: Carl Rushworth has been excellent at Coventry and on other loans from Brighton. He is such a great goalkeeper and he has a future with England. I'm happy to lose Nick Pope and any of our other goalkeepers.
James: Losing Kieran Trippier this summer will be a big loss, amid Jamaal Lascelles leaving fairly recently and a general need for leaders to pull together, what appears to be, a fragmented and changing side. Can we nab John Stones or a similarly experienced defender to lead from the rear of the pitch? I would love to see it.
David: Unfortunately, has been unable to recreate his scoring form. The reason why? Our playing system is different and he is too small to be an out-and-out target-man as a number nine, which is what we need up front. , or a player like him, would be good. I'm sure talented could be used to feed and play off such a player. Watkins' old colleague would also link up well with him, I'm sure, if one of our other midfielders were to depart this summer.
