Yoan Gouffran

Yoan Gouffran initially made a big impact at Newcastle United, but since that whirlwind season and a half he has barely threatened to leave his mark.

Gouffran offers plenty of running but little else, and has found himself falling further down the pecking order as the season progresses.

Steve McClaren briefly tried to reinvent him as a holding midfielder, but that experiment failed and the Frenchman is set to leave the club sooner rather than later.

Transfer rating: 5/10
