Andy Carroll, Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Debuchy have just been three of the players who have been cashed in on in the last couple of seasons and you can understand why fans get more than a little bit fed up of seeing their star names leave time and time again.

With another transfer window upon us and the wolves circling, here are five players we think the Magpies have to keep at all costs if they want to kick on in the second half of the season.
