The ones in the good list I wouldn't want to see sold, either because I think they're good or because I expect them to come good. The average ones can do a job but I wouldn't cry if they left. The poor ones can all do one really. Probably get a decent fee for Naismith, and while I quite like him he's not all that good at togger if we're being honest.
 

Somehow Leon Osman has become the most important player at the club.

Honestly our play has been complete dirge unless he is on.

Poor
Robles -- hasn't got a clue
McGready - pace and no product
Garbutt - sorry, not good enough

Average
Hibbert - what do you expect for a back-up full back at his age?
Oviedo - just that
Kone - will we ever find out tho? I'm not sure he's up for it
Naismith - certainly work hard for the team tho. (bordering on good)
Howard - was good but not so much these days (clearly the best we have in goal atm)

Good
Gibson - if only he was fit now and then
Jags - won't let you down, yellow card record tells you he doesn't get caught out often
Lukaku - has "something" but still not convinced we use him correctly
Mirallas - good for most of the 60 minute cameos we see him
Besic - but needs to work on his game
Barry - good if he doesn't have to play every game
Delo - got to work on his final ball
Osman - if a little bit past his best (heading towards average)
Pienaar - ditto to Osman (heading towards average, can still cut it if not kicked off the pitch (especially away from home where he is frequently targeted))
Coleman - another one who needs to work out that final ball

Very Good
Baines- of course
Stones - cut out some defensive lapses and he'll be one of the best
McCartney - of course
Barkley - but only if he works on not trying to do it all himself

Jury Out
Cleverley, Galloway and Browning (impressed with these two so far tho'), McAleny

How do you know Garbutt isn't good enough?
