2011-2012 Season

[EskWeston 696]

Can understand some wanting Drogba to go, but Mikel and Yury? Seriously?

Yuri for me is too much in limbo, neither a settled left back or a winger. If we are taking a good look at our squad then i would like to see us fill the spot with someone more settled. I would rather he was used as a winger anyway but it doesn't happen.

Mikel though is a important player for us. Our best player at the start of the season and no more to blame for any problems than anyone else...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Also, why do people want Malouda out?

He's easily been the most consistent player in this period, he's trying. He's also our biggest goal threat from the front 3.

[Madmax 9,219]

cba to copy paste stuff.

OUT - Anelka, Kalou, Ferreira, Zhirkov, Bosingwa, Turnbull

Hilario is out of contract anyway, and Borini won't sign one.

[Ollie 4,400]

I'm surprised there's a few that want Sturridge out. I'm in 2 minds about Mikel, Drogba and Anelka but i feel Drogs n Anelka have a season left at least and Mikel is strong and has improved this season a bit so see what happens next season

Seems Ferriera and Kalou are the SW 6 most unwanteds on TC.

A few surprisng names as well......

[Ollie 4,400]

I love Paulo and what he's done from the start of the Jose era, great servant but it's just his age and his legs that do it for me. Need some fresher hungry blood. Kalou... well i just think he's awful.

[Manuf 1,448]

he is..

[Rambo 1,729]

Unless we find legit replacements theres no point sending players out.

Exactly.

Exactly, same problem we had with releasing Ballack, Cole, Belletti et al.

I'm sure he's very sorry to inconvenience you with his career-threatening injury.

[zolayes 14,489]

everyone claims our squad is short on numbers ,,but some are advocating getting rid of up to 8 players ...just where are we going to get in 11new

players???? and more important what will the cost be if they are to satisfy the standards demanded by some fans ,,,time for a reality check

[Kostas 1,468]

players????

Since you're (probably) referring to my post I'll answer this.

2 of those 8 players are keepers who the club wanted to demote by buying Begovic. Keepers are much easier to replace.

Youngsters who aren't real members of the squad* are included in those 25 player so losing any of them will make ZERO difference in the squad dynamics.

So we're left with 4-5 players that any club of our size can replace without breaking a sweat.

..and even if 8 was the real number everyone knew that the squad that won the league last year with 11 players approaching or being >30 needed a big revamping.

and more important what will the cost be if they are to satisfy the standards demanded by some fans ,,,time for a reality check

No reality check needed, Fulham Broadway opened a poll because he wanted opinions.

_{*Just how many starts do Kakuta,Van Aanholt, Bruma and Borini have between them? Exactly}.
