4. Leon Best
Likely Fee: £2m The Irishman showed in brief flashes last season what he can offer to a team looking for an added goal threat, with some deft touches and a willingness to run. His problem though is that he now faces a season with both Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba ahead of him, as well as Hatem Ben Arfa (if Pardew sticks with the 4-3-3) and veteran Shola Ameobi. In all honesty, Best will be considered surplus to the team's needs, especially if Graham Carr is indeed currently on the trail of another striker to bolster his options up-front, and Luuk de Jong is on his way. Despite failing to make too much of an impression last year, apart from when his African team-mates were unavailable, Best definitely possesses a trick, and is able to turn defenders in the box before taking a shot and he will offer whoever takes a chance on him the possibility of goals. If as expected it is Blackburn who take Best off Newcastle's hands to rebuild their attacking options for a first season in the Championship and a return at the first attempt, they may well find that goal threat even more potent. And spending a season in that league, and the increased opportunities to score potentially offered by his Premier League experience will be good for Best after spending a lot of time on the bench last year.
