Yeah, true. Most of them will be on the bench or in the stand (you see what I mean lol). Even if they doesn't play while sulking on the bench, this could bring a bad atmosphere in the dressing room, and it could split the squad into cliques... Well I may be too much worried, but to be frank that's a concern for me. We would like. Though, I do not think we can say Malouda's and Anelka's behavior over the past eight month is professional's behavior. The first man mentioned has just played well at the start of the season to warrant his place in the starting XI and has played well at the end of the season on the purpose to make a good impression to stay at the club ; while the second man plays good just when he is willing to do so (ie not very often). ps : I'm surprised there's no dig toward Kalou
