If we have the two new centre mids and two new centre halfs (one being Christensen recall) we all want, I can see everything else remaining the same at least for the first few months. Depends on Roman and the board, what expectations they would have off conte. Also, I think, it wont just be changes in personnel, but also change in formation, tactics and hopefully everything A to Z. What's more is that, we Need it. Also, I dont necessarily buy into "gradual change being the best way" that jose adopted. Our best option will be to play our best players. And i think azpi-ake is our best combination.

But he English, has experience of playing at the top, and I dont see too many more top English centre halves available. Plus too many changes could be detrimental to the team. So at the moment I'd hold onto him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,069 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just selected the common ones to go (Cahill, Iva, Mikel, Oscar, etc) I personally would get rid of Hazard and Thibo if the price is right. There is no doubting their ability, but we need players who are up for the cause. That's exactly what Conte will be demanding of his players. Enough loan deals (IN and OUT). Give youngsters a chance to prove themselves or sell them for the good of both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,350 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The only players who I wouldn't consider selling are Hazard, Willian , Traore, Musonda and RLC. Everybody else is fair game at right price as frankly the squad looks exactly what it is, mid table worthy. We need a massive overhaul. Hazard is our only world class player and whilst this season is clearly a write off I simply wouldn't give up on him yet. Said he wants to play (allegedly) for Conte so lets see. The sad thing is, we've seen it all before. In 2007 we bought Tal Ben Haim, Claudio Pizarro, Steve Sidwell, and Danny Philliskirk! The management of this club are quite often stultifyingly stupid, and is making the same mistakes they've made before. The penny pinching direction they're trying to take the club in, involves buying small barcelona type players, and loaning out too many for 'business'. whilst the rest of the league is going in the opposite direction.
