Newcastle Transfers: 7 Players Who Definitely Need To Leave This Summer

7. Mike Williamson

"Iron Mike" may have started the new season as the fans' "Most Improved Player" as voted for by fans, but the phrase "form is temporary, class is permanent" is more appropriate for him than anyone else. He's just not up to the physical pressures of the Premier League.

He's one of the tallest defenders in the Premier League, coming in at 6 ft 4 in, but he fails to compete for headers, has no power through his neck and is too easily out-muscled or out-paced. And then there's the small matter of him punting 50-yard balls upfield under no pressure, and that's when he isn't justĀ aimlessly turning on the ball inviting pressure.

In short, it's time for him to pack his bags.
