Slight tweaking or overhaul?

[Madmax 9,219]

The most important issue is to replace and more accurately, improve upon the ones who leave.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Don't we have like 5 or 6 of these threads now?

I think tweaking. Young, experienced, players would be nice, to mix with the older players. We shouldn't be like Arsenal and throw a whole load of young players in, we should be liked Dalglish's (Clarke's) Liverpool.. Mix the young with old.

[True_Blue 469]

Around 4-5 players out and around the same amount in.The youngsters getting a chance and we are good to go.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Out:

Anelka

Malouda

Bosingwa

Hilario

Zhirkov

Kalou ?

In: Its realy depends in what formation we are going to play...

Left/Right winger (Neymar, Ashley Young, Alexis Sanchez,

Another Left/Right winger? (if Drogba leaves so we can buy another one, if not, maybe play with just one of the above).

Young midfielder- Nuri sahin. I think Lampard, essien and him is a fantastic midfield.

RB- Gregory van der Wiel ? if bosingwa is out.

GK- We need a proper replace for cech. Its not a first or second priority for the summer but it would be great to bring Begovich for example.

[Krypt 241]

I don't want Drogba to go but he will. Because you can't play him with torres

[nadavTKL 1,787]

"Because you can't play him with torres"

I cant understand why youre so sure about that?

How many times Carlo tried to play them both? 2-3 times? not more than that.

Roman Abramovich is Chelsea's problem as well as the solution

The most telling detail about Chelsea's 2010‑11 campaign is that the players chose not to respond to the exhortations from Ancelotti to return to their old winning ways. They may still like him, but fear is noticeably absent.

Hayward writes this as if it is just that easy.

Imagine the players at the end of the season doing an interview and saying;

"All the lads got together to decide if we wanted to return to our old winning ways but someone pointed out that the gaffer isn't very scary so we decided against it"

It all depends on what you mean by overhaul. I think bringing in 3 players is the best thing.

IN: Neymar (i need not to give my reasons)

Sanchez (that winger we've been missing)

Ozil (yes i know its a dream but ohh that boy is creative.)

OUT: Anelka (he can't use his pace, probably due to age)

Kalou (No chance for him if we get Neymar, he'll look like a 12year old with no skills)

Fereira (been a good servant, but age, and ease the wage bill)

Hilario (even in the reserves, he messes up big time, so promote one of the reserve keepers, Rhys taylor or walker)

I'm getting more rumours that Ancelotti is asked for Van der Wiel, Sanchez and Neymar. but wants to offload, Anelka, Kalou, Malouda and Fereira and Bos.

I honestly dont think we need Van Der Weil even if Bossy and Paulo goes? £18m for a RB who will play 2nd fiddle to Ivan? no thanks, it will be Yuri Zhirkov all over again. Why dont we just bring through Billy Clifford?

I don't honestly think we need to splash out on a creative midfielder, we have our very own homegrown and chomping at the bit sensation that cost absolutely nowt, he's good enough and ready who gives a fuck if he is 18 because i fucking do not. Sahin if we can get him for £5m but if not just leave it to Josh.

Wingers should be our TOP priority, id have Robben back tommorow and Neymar, those 2 supporting Drogba/Torres and were laughing.

Drogba we should keep if he is prepared for a lesser role, am i the only one who thinks he could do the right hand side Anelka job well, left backs are hardly known for their strength this could be a area we exploit by playing Drog there but would his ego let him watch Fernando take center stage up front? but his age shouldn't matter it hardly affected Zola did it?

Anelka and Malouda ill always appreciate for what they have done for the club but its time to move on i think.

Lampard has been struggling this season, how about lesser his role and when he does play he will be more fresh and ready to bang in the goals, ever heard of less is more? i strongly believe he can do a Giggs if handled right.

Sturridge and Kakuta deserve to come back and be given a shot next season, Kakuta maybe via a short term loan.

Also am i the only 1 desperate for Conor Clifford to be given a shot? he is a battler and a leader and has got big game player written all over him could be our Darren Fletcher in that respect (say what you like about Fletcher but you cant deny he is a key big game player for Utd).

Chalaboah and Aziz IMO need 1 more year before being considered for regualar 1st team action.

Hayward is a prize pillock, ALL of the stuff he writes is pure garbage, your better off seeing who writes the article and then deciding wether you will read it, could save you from wasting 5 minutes of your life you will never get back.

I'm strongly disagree here. If Bosingwa and Paulo are sold, we need to buy someone to fill the gap. Okay, Billy is doing well with the Academy, but what if Ivanovic is injured for 6 months ? Does he is good enough to be a titular in this situation ? Maybe, maybe not. I do not think we can put our hope in a player who has yet to play a professional game. And Ivanovic isn't a right back, therefor I think we need to have a proper real (and good) right back in our team. Though I'm agree on the fact that we should give Clifford a chance to see what he is made of.

I don't honestly think we need to splash out on a creative midfielder, we have our very own homegrown and chomping at the bit sensation that cost absolutely nowt, he's good enough and ready who gives a fuck if he is 18 because i fucking do not. Sahin if we can get him for £5m but if not just leave it to Josh.

Yes we need to buy a creative midfielder. And yes McEachran has the potential to be our futur playmaker/creative midfielder. But he is too young to play all kind of games. I do believe he is able to start the games against the like of Wigan, West Brom, West Ham et al. But against the likes of ManUtd, ManCity, etc... with their dirties cunts, he will be kill by Scholl, Fletcher, De Jong... And what when he will be injured, will we play without creativity ? We saw what we achieved without creativity.

My final word : I think you expect too much from our youngsters. They still have a long way to play with the first team. And I think that this is too dangerous to don't buy new players because we have some good prospects. And we can buy new players who are 22-23 years old without forget to give playing time to the players coming from the academy.

Looking back on this season, it's clear to see we need an overhaul more than anything because a majority of our players are getting on 30 or well into their 30s; and we've suffered a massive crisis during that period.

One thing that must NOT change is the changing of manager!
