I wouldnt be surprised to see them all leave, Kalou and Drogba are out of contract and no sign of them signing a new one. Malouda has been terrible for years now, needs to leave. Drogba has been a legend for the club but i think he wants to leave now, think he may return to Marseille in the summer. Fact remains he is getting older and doesnt look likely to returning to his fearsome best. As a replacement? i really dont know, who can replace Drogba in world football at the moment? Would like to see Torres/Sturridge playing up there more often, with Lukaku also getting more game time.
Think we are more in need of creative players to replace Kalou and Malouda who just dont produce the goods anymore. I would like to see Hazard/Ribery/Robben/Gotze, pretty much any of the talented wingers around the world come in. Also think we could do with sorting out the midfield further, still question marks surrounding the future of Lampard and Essien, who both look shadow of their former selfs. Modric could still be a good signing to replace Lampard, IMO.
Would love to see a team like this next season:
Cech
Ivan Luiz Terry(Cahill) Cole
Ramires Romeu(Mikel)
Hazard Modric Mata
Torres(Sturridge)
Let Ramires and Romeu do all the midfield battling and pass the ball up to the creative players of hazard / mata / modric, looks good on paper to me! Atleast thats what i would do on Football manager
I still have no idea who the manager will be next season, think theres still a chance RDM could be in charge if he does well in these last few games. If he wins nothing(and doesnt get 4th) then i would expect to see Capello/Jose
