Basically the team is currently in steady decline. There are a load of over 30's in the side who are on high wages and long contracts who are moving the club backwards. Barry has declined as a player and we have him for 2 more seasons on a massive wage. Etoo is declining and playing out of position and he's on a high wage for another year after this season . Neither of these two would of even been considered by moyes. And they can't be replaced unless sold but why would they move, no-one will offer those wages elsewhere. Pienaar is declining, distins career is over.
The problem I see with Martinez is he seems to think we are stronger than last year, but 3 of those players played their best football last year and have now reached their end and can't be replaced. Really bad moves by the manager to sign these. And given our poor form an exodus of our quality players could be on the cards. Mirallas won't want to stay, we'll be forced to sell him. Barkley will soon follow, I think we are in trouble blues.
I tried to draw up a team of where our future lies, but realistically only stones, garbutt, coleman, mccarthy and besic feature. We shouldn't of bought players who are so old when we already have our more influential players ageing. It's a recipe for disaster and I can't see how Martinez on our budget can turn this around so we will be the force we were last season. The scariest thing is he doesn't see this, he just thinks we are a season on with his model so are getting better but fails to acknowledge the decline of so many of our more influential players.

Something far more serious going on here with our great club, if Mr Kenwright waits much longer Roberto will take us to a point of no return, this is a Club in free fall and its concerns outweigh by far attention seeking posters.

I think the point has passed BDM and our well known attention seeker has finally exposed himself to all and sundry.
God help us all for the future of the Blues.

Muffinboy, I really worry for you......what are you going to do when you lose to us again on Tuesday? Let's face it You boys haven't been able to beat us for a while, and with your league form going south now as well as we all expected it to your season is potentially about to go right off the rails. Allardyce out?!
