Released in the worst fashion possible - Ryan Taylor was told his fate over the phone, before being asked to pass the mobile on to cancer-survivor Jonas Gutierrez, who was then informed that he would not be offered a new contract either - this duo are searching for pastures new. Taylor has been linked with a move to Belgium with Standard Liege or to Bolton Wanderers, while Gutierrez has reportedly had offers from two Argentine clubs. These two popular figures will be missing from the Newcastle squad next season - so new senior figures will need to step up to the plate.
