4 of those 6 were already well into their 30's in 2012 so no huge surprises if none of those four are here next season.

The other two we sold for nearly £90 million.

or look at it another way, we were dreadful domestically and finished 6th that season, so the fact most of that squad has left is a good thing.

The CL win was amazing but didn't magically change the fact that going forward we needed a complete over haul.

Look at the age of the front and midfield next season.

Fabregas at 27 will be the oldest.
Matic/Hazard/Oscar/Willian/Salah/Schurrle/Costa/Lukaku/MVG

Courtois/Azpi at the back also. The majority of this side should be together for 5 years.....hopefully
