Last summer looked like it would be a busy one for the club as Unai Emery finally got a chance to make his mark on the squad.

While most eyes will were on the players coming in, there were a host of players set for the door and we were looking at as many as 13 (not counting youth players) departing.

So how many went?

Out of contract, Lichtsteiner hardly set the club alight following his free move from Juventus in the summer.

He would quite like to stay and at £90kpw I can’t say I blame him.

He didn’t.
