Put it this way. Sack AVB = well fed "superstars" getting yet another chance. Well fed "superstars" fucking off = Free foreign spaces for AVB to fill with players that suit his style of play.
I would not mind if Malouda fails but works his heart out while doing so. But the fact he doesn't look bothered gets me, even worse when you consider on top form he is a amazing player.
If you want to challenge at the top you need 2 top players competing in every position. ------------------------------------------Cech/Courtious---------------------------------------------- Ivanovic/Hutchinson-------Terry/Cahill---------Luiz/Bruma-------------Bertrand/Cole ------------------------------------------Romeu/Essien----------------------------------------------- -----------------------Modric/McEachran----------Ramires/Meireles--------------------------- Sturridge/Hazard----------------------------------------------------------------------Mata/Gotze -----------------------------------------Cavani/Higuain--------------------------------------------- Other squad players Turnbull - 3rd choice goallie Lampard - Scholes like expierence Drogba - If he accepts a one year deal and a lesser role Ferreira - Doesn't complain when he doesn't play and does a job when does, as far as players that need to go he is well down the pecking order compared to Malouda, Bosingwa and co. Chalaboh - Slowly bleed into the squad. Kane - Likewise. B.Clifford - same again. Piazon - same again. C.Clifford - Slowly replace Essien and competition for Romeu. 31 players 8 homegrown (players bolded) 13 foreign spaces 10 under 21's (players underlined) Lukaku on loan out for the season. Sorted
Id rather he goes Bolton than Swansea. With Swansea there is every chance they will do a Hull in the second half off the season and that will destroy his confidence, Bolton can't get much worse and if Josh's arrival coincides with their re-surgance he will be a hero and will come back buzzing.
The FFP starts coming into affect this summer i think, which means January is the last chance to "free spend",a chance we should have took in the summer. Although i have heard so many different "rules" about FFP, it has so many holes. Would not suprise me in the slightest if it gets scrapped altogether.
Best forward to grace English football and we produced him. Why couldn't we keep him? ( it's probally only his Spurs career that stops him getting regarded higher than Osgood and Zola. Legend never the less however.
@HD123 Hiddink will probally give us that short term feeling off invincibilty he did last time but when he goes or the honeymoon period wears off (IE like Queen Kenny's did at Scum) what then?
