    Others I would be meh about, but I feel we can improve on all of them quite easily
    I'd add Ramsey to that list and Carzola - Ramsay because he's only ever looked quality for a couple of months a couple of years ago, Carzola because he's now an injury liability

    No one should be out of the door immediately.

    Ozil and Sanchez are not signing contracts so they will be sold. Replacing Sanchez and Ozil would the be the first challenge. The powers that be are responsible for getting the best money for them.

    I could argue that time on the training pitch to turn essentially good players into a functioning unit would be job two. Once you have worked out that some of these players are not capable of playing the manager's game, then you think about moving them on.

    Plenty of room for developing/improving players in the squad. Ramsey and Ox spring to mind. Maybe even Gibbs could benefit from a different type of manager? Look at what Conte has done with Victor Moses this year.

    The question should be, 'who doesn't want to stay?'. Those that feel like they're banging their heads against the wall. ie, the better players. All the wasters, those on huge wages, years on contract still but, can't be arsed to put in 100% every game, will be happy(ish) as things are.
    I feel so sad that the situation has finally come to what we have seen coming for some years. AW has been an honorable and truly dedicated manager. He must be in a pretty bad place right now and either we don't have the players that can produce, or we have the players that AW can't motivate. It pisses me off big time when you we see all those jolly pictures put out on the club's web site, of the players having such a great time at London Colney on training days. As if they haven't a care in the world.
    Sad days.

    - Conte has certainly pepped up the Chelsea team this year.

    I hate the fùckers even more.

    Out

    Cech - damaged goods when we bought him
    Ospina or Chesney - if Chesney wants to come back then it's Ospina…if he doesn't then Ospina can stay
    Debuchy - just let him go
    Mertersacker - same as debuchy
    Ramsey - Arsenal career ended vs Watford
    Wilshere - too injury prone & attitude won't change
    Walcott - All he's done in 10 years at Arsenal is grown a beard
    Ozil - he was only bought to appease the fans…services no longer required
    Giroud - same as Ospina…time to freshen up this department


    Skating on thin ice but worth 2nd chances

    Gibbs - to be fair the lad hasn't had much playing time and Monreal is due an injury
    Callum - lets see what he learnt on loan…still time for him to mature as player
    Gabriel - probably lacking confidence - solid player and worth 1 more season
    Jenkinson - same as Gabriel but maybe we send him out on loan


    More or Less Gone
    Santi - will expect him to fade out of existence like Arteta did…injuries have been cruel to him.


    Would definitely get Kasper Schmicheal in as our new no1 and blow the rest on 1 superstar player like Griezemann.

    Also would play a 3-5-2.

    with Holding, Mustafi and Koscielny as the back 3.

    Bellerin and Gibbs as speedy marauding wing backs

    Elneny and Xhaka holding in midfield and then any combination of 3 from the following - Ox, Lucas, Welbeck, Griezemann and Alexis.

    quite line Ox and Lucas holding with Griezemann up front...let's **** off Alexis a bit....

    Possibly Theo or Ox but probably neither.
    With Ozil and Sanchez probably going that makes enough space and income. Time to build a new midfield squad and a new forward.
    (If I get rid of any more British players do I have to sign more? I really don't want to)
    British players are alright, I think, if they actually *are* British players and not merely British players because their passport says so.

    A midget midfielder like Wilshere, for example, is never going to be of any real use to us unless he somehow turns into Billy Bremner or Dennis Wise, or even David Batty. These men ought to be his ideal, not Xavi or Verratti.
