Newcastle's Potential Starting XI If Magpies Are Relegated

4. Yoan Gouffran

The club have tried to offload the Frenchman in the last few transfer windows, but his wages and occasionally distinct lack of ability have managed to put off any potential suitors. If we were to be relegated, we might find ourselves stuck with Gouffran and with many of the first team line-up likely to be sold, the midfielder may find himself with a role to play in the Championship. Moussa Sissoko would almost certainly be the first member of the squad to hand in a transfer request, freeing up a role for Gouffran on the right hand side of midfield ahead of the likes of Gabriel Obertan. With his workrate rarely questioned, who knows, England's second tier may prove to be his level to shine?
