Well i think we're getting rid of Stern John.
So that would leave us with
Anthony Stokes Daryl Murphy David Connoly Michael Chopra Roy O'Donovan Andy Cole
So 6, will be seven if Kenwyne Jones signs.
Anyway apparently we're very close to agreeing terms with Sammy Kuffour, not sure about the Ian Hate situation though.

you played dwight yorke in midfield against l'pool why i thought he was a striker ? He's been used as a midfielder ever since he came to us, he just stays there and knocks the ball around. Problem is he's poo at it. You may as well stick a chair or other item of furniture in the middle of the pitch.

So, i'm guessing he's on his way out soon then?
By the way Ben, if you haven't seen the Prediction League results, you had a great one, 22 points this week, you're now 2nd, 3 points behind me.

Kenny Miller is a great striker but he didn't fair too much for us in the Premiership, hopefully in a better team he'll play well.

Celtic player available;
Celtic have made Kenny Miller, Maciej Zurawski and Thomas Gravesen available for transfer, BBC Sport understands.
Miller, 27, has struggled to find the net consistently since joining the SPL champions from Wolves last July.
English Premier League clubs Fulham, Everton, Manchester City and Derby could move for the striker before the transfer window closes on Friday.
Celtic will also listen to offers for Polish striker Zurawski and Danish midfielder Gravesen.
Former Rangers star Miller has scored eight competitive goals in 23 appearances for Gordon Strachan's side.
The Scotland forward is sidelined with a hamstring injury which ruled him out of Saturday's 5-0 victory over Hearts and he will also miss the second leg of the Champions League qualifier against Spartak Moscow.
Zurawski joined Celtic from Wilsa Krakow for £2m in 2005 and made a promising start, netting 22 goals in his first full season.
However, a hamstring injury ruled the Polish international out for parts of last season, as he netted 10 goals from 34 appearances.
Gravesen has failed to establish himself in Strachan's plans since his £2m switch from Real Madrid last summer and was left out of the squad to face Hearts at the weekend.

I'm sure Gravesen would do a very good job at that level too.

Gravesen would never drop down to the Championship. Miller and Eastwood.. my god the mind boggles His wages would be out of our league now though.
