Time for fresh blood in January?

[True_Blue 469]

We should buy players and change our squad after every defeat.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Malouda and Anelka OUT

New Striker, we don't have even 1 ST that can score regularly...

[Kojo 4,676]

I think we should get rid of Torres tbh, get a better striker, I just can't see anything coming from him.

We should definitely look into his situation in January while Anzhi and others are still interested.

[J.F. 1,484]

we aren't that poor, that we need to win 3 points in every match.

Our squad is to big in my opinion . Kalou , Malouda , Drogba , Mikel possibly boswinga and Alex ( hes to good to just keep our bench warm ) should all go and make way for some youth players .

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

- No, we should not get rid of Torres... Anelka is a great impact sub, I think we should keep him for another year.

- It has been evident for a long time that Malouda and Kalou must go, they can't help us progress. With that in mind we must continue our apparently close pursuit of Hazard. I'm sure we're going to carry on with Neymar, and I hope so but it's unlikely. He can be like a C.Ronaldo but having said that a player like him won't do much for the team but rather himself personally - a selfish mentality, a little like Sturridge but still winning and at times incredible. If Ronaldo changed I'm sure he could.

- Having said that I would love us to follow Pato. I know he's injury prone but hopefully he can overcome these problems. Honestly, he's just like Aguero and if he comes I'm sure he'd have an impact of similar proportions he's that good. He would torment defenders all day long. Our striking options would be quite saturated though with Anelka, Drogba, Sturridge, Lukaku, Torres and Pato so maybe now we'd have to bank out on Drogba and Anelka. As much as it pains me to say it Drogba hasn't been as sharp this season. I've always wanted him to retire at the Bridge and I won't be saddened if he does, but it's a possibility. Equally I think I'm one of the few who still believes that Anelka can offer something to us coming off the bench. Nevertheless, if we're really ready to start a new wave then Drogba and Anelka will unfortunately have to depart leaving us with Lukaku, Torres, Sturridge and Anelka.

- We need a Modric, but I still hope Mceachran get's some time. Remebering we'll have Piazon then too but don't know if he'll get any time if Mceachran doesn't.

In - Hazard, Modric, Pato

Definitely Out - Malouda, Kalou and Possibly Drogba, Anelka, Bosingwa or Ferreira, - Mceachran on loan

Pato is a stretch, for Hazard we'll face stiff competition but its been reported and Modric... I'm really not sure. Goetze or Eriksen in that attacking midfield position would be fantastic but I know they won't be coming, I think we blew it with Eriksen and his dad will never let it happen.

[Kojo 4,676]

We should keep Torres?, you're joking ne right?, im getting sick of his performances tbh.

[Blauw 105]

Buy Guiseppe Rossi,Modric,Ribery and Hummels

Then put this formation.

Iva-Hummels-Terry-Cole

Ramires-Lampard

Modric

Ribery-Rossi-Mata

If we have this team were unbeatable

Torres has been given too many chances

Sturridge is not ready for big games yet

[bluephoenix 1,126]

sadly have to agree on this ... Malouda and Bosingwa shouldn't be in the team ... sometimes I wonder why we still have Malouda on the team when we could have actually gone with Ballack... ( I know its done and dusted ) seriously though... Ballack has much more quality and talent than Malouda.

[Liquidator 5,176]

lets all make a long list of players we want to show the door to and then a long list of players worth in excess of £500m and hope that Roman gets his chequebook out.

OK if we have had a very poor season then we should consider this but we have just lost 3-5 and people are calling for us to get rid of half the squad. Agreed Bosingwa and Malouda should go but what has Ivanovic done so badly to warrant a place in the 'out' list? The same goes for Alex.

I think in a way this shows how spoilt we have become as fans that we can make such a long list of players we want and over-react so wildly to one defeat.

If Ballack stayed and played today i bet he would be first on the scapegoat firing line.

Agreed, some people may have posted as over-reactions but my list was in no way influenced by today result. I think the same does apply for the most who replied tbh. Before or after the game I think most of our list's would have been the same if not very similar. And Branislav? nothing in the world can warrant an Iva departure, he cannot leave. Whoever thinks otherwise may have gone temporarily insane. :541:

so much knee jerks.

[bloody 209]

Pretty hard to make that a reality when you know he's signed a new deal recently... :unsure:

that means we can sell him for more money than if his contract is nearly up.

[Peace. 4,352]

Malouda, Kalou, Bosingwa and Anelka are four players that we should have tried hard to offload. At the end of august, it happened that the board didn't even tried to sell them. Now, when we talk about players whom we have to get rid, their names come in first position. That puts in relief our average mercato, and shows our board didn't really target the problems and hence didn't have fixed them.

[eldo 868]

We should open a knee jerk thread.

[Kojo 4,676]

Higuain just scored, amazing finish perfect lob, hammered the offside trap, and here are we lumbered with a 50 million cabbage...
