Swoopz 183 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We need depth. Stop asking for the board to sell players like Flo, Anelka, or Kalou. Last season we got rid of players without bringing in replacements and it caused a huge uproar. This season the fans are asking for MORE unloading even though were already thin on squad players. Thank god our board isn't composed of people on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 ^^^ True !especially after seeing the money that the other clubs are asking I would be more than happy if the Club buys just one or 2 players because a complete overhaul is NOT possible!

xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We need new players. Anelka and kalou are not the players that can bring to us the trophies.if we will buy some new players and will not let kalou & anelka go,the salary budget will be a huge one.we need to say goodbye to some players.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 On what planet does Kalou constitute as strength in depth?You've just mentioned 3 players, that's not exactly an 'overhaul' is it. Especially when it’s summer, so we will be bringing in players soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Last season we let Ballack, Deco and Joe Cole go, and replaced them with just Ramires.... that was the problem.I can't see us making that same mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god our board isn't composed of people on this forum.Dont quite agree with u. Yes we need depth but then for that you need players who can deliver. The above 3 are not exactly those who can provide us with depth so selling them and getting new players is the only options. Else we would become like City where they still got multiply players to their disposal but they are not adding any depth to the squad instead are hogging money in terms of wages. I would wish our board had some basic mentality which is displaced by lot of our fellow TC mate, we would had a better structure and team in place and sure would have won more than what we have now.

J.F. 1,484 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 yeah, we don't need new players, we can win Champions League with fantastic trio Malouda-Anelka-Kalou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god our board isn't composed of people on this forum.Who says they won't be replaced?If you're happy having below-par players play for us then fair game to you. These 3, over the course of the last few seasons (5 in Kalou's case) have shown decline, lack of progress & signs of a finished product. Anelka on a lesser extent albeit. They do need to be unloaded, and replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,448 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We need depth. Stop asking for the board to sell players like Flo, Anelka, or Kalou. Last season we got rid of players without bringing in replacements and it caused a huge uproar. This season the fans are asking for MORE unloading even though were already thin on squad players. Thank god our board isn't composed of people on this forum.I can see where you're headed...While I agree the squad doesn't need an overhaul, I think that to bring in 2-3 new players into the squad we will need to remove 1 or 2 to create room, unless one or two of the incoming players is/are very young...However young players with the qualities we're looking for are in short supply and mostly overpriced, so its highly unlikely we will sign one that's suitable...For me we just need 2 players essentially: Winger and creative mid attacking mid, the latter being the most important.,,In that case it should be sufficient to remove one existing player...In Porto, AVB removed Bruno Alves(former captain) and one other guy,....so wouldn't be surprised if someone left this time, just don't think the casualties will rise above 2...However, for the two to leave, I can think of people who can be compared more to dead wood than either Flo, Anelka and Kalou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,448 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Also food for thought:Just because Drogba and Lampard seem to be playing well into their 30's, doesn't mean everyone can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smajic 0 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 that is correct, but we need younger players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I am in the middle. Cause the only players i want to see out is Anelka and Ferreira.Everyone else can still have some sort of role. Even though i would want out some of them. But we need at least 2 players in, and if we give more chances this season to our youth, then even better.So i agreed with Carlo last say that we can't do an overhaul. 2 or 3 in, and 2 or 3 out. And then integrate the youth, and do that every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantdeville 195 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The board isn't composed of people on a forum, theyre businessmen who don't wanna pay ~100k a week to squad players. It's naive to wanna have your cake and eat it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The problem wasnt selling Cole, Ballack, Deco and Belletti.The problem is that no good replacemets arrived, and our manager did not have the balls to play young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause Carlo tried to do it hard with youth and backfire in his face cause he is not that good with youth.Otherwise, had he spend like Mourinho does he would have won some more trophies and would have still been here.
