I keep hearing people say we need an overhaul so I'd be interested to know peoples opinions on this. This is our usual 18 for games...
--------Courtois
Ivan Zouma JT Azpi
-------Matic Mikel
-Willian Cesc Oscar
----------Costa
Subs: Begovic, Cahill, Baba, Loftus-Cheek, Hazard, Traore, Remy.
Who can we see going and what calibre of player can we expect to come in?
Obviously JT won't be here, I'm not gonna include Pato either.
Our squad next season

We've had enough stupid signings recently

It's very simple. Most of those guys will be off in the summer to play for clubs in the Champions League.
You guys still don't get what a mess we have put ourselves in. It will don on everyone eventually.

No, no they wont........
Only ones off will be Hazard to Real, but we knew that was coming and hopefully Oscar to China. Other than that maybe a few more from the deadwood pile but the team above will make up the majority of our team next season. A few signings and one or 2 marque signings from the Hazard and Oscar fees and we will be good to go.

Mariory,
We will be vulnerable to loosing our best , but have they really honoured the club and contracts ?
Tbh, i think it really depends on who comes in as the next interim .

And what makes you so sure? Why did these players come to us in the first place?

History, tell me another club who fell out of the top places with the recent history as well as spending power in the future and lost all their best players? Feck me Juve even went to the bottom division and kept hild if most their team. You think these guys will all jump ship when we are the ones paying the best wages?

In Juve's case a few players did jump ship. Juve were lucky in that they had core set of players stayed led by Del Piero.
Weather we want to admit it or not, the players that would have fought for the shirt are gone. Of that group only Terry is left. You're being naive if you think majority of this current bunch will stick with us if we're not playing in the top tier of Europe. And just how are we going to afford the best wages without CL football?

im being naive? Youre the one who thinks everyone is gonna bail due to 1 year of no champions league
Leicester getting in europe will lose more players than us not in europe.
Fighting for the shirt. Dont make me laugh, every footballer fighrs for the cash and thats who anybody has nowadays, and guess what we still got it and thats why nobody is going anywhere. Im being naive

Oh dear! I forgot how easy it is to go from mid table to top 4 in this league.
You're right next season we'll be competing at the top on all fronts. Who needs reality.
