I'm not disagreeing with you by any means that Tevez is a complete and utter tool. I just thought his performances for ManUtd were better than his output for WestHam. That's all.
Or Chris Samba to really mess with Terry's head...
Yeah, that team has held onto people for far too long. I'm all for the one-club player, but having so many over-30s on the team is really hurting them. It was doing so last season w/ Ancelotti (who did a great job and didn't deserve the drop, now happily employed at PSG) and Villas-Boas just didn't clamp down early enough.
Malouda's already touting he'll "follow" Ancelotti to PSG if not given more minutes. Cut him.
Mikel has never struck me as a player of the BPL's caliber. A squad player at best. Maybe he could flourish in France, Belgium, Turkey, etc.
Alex is really underrated by AVB. Shame he's getting the cold shoulder - he can still do a great job in central defense.
Kalou - still not sure on him (and at 25 or 26 now, that's not promising), but with the emergence of Sturridge, it's time to move on.
Torres - stop the damage now. Ship him back to Atletico where he'll be welcomed with open arms as a prodigal son and (hopefully) regain form.
Lampard - not even sure where he'd go, since be's been at Stamford Bridge for so long.
Ideal XI for Chelsea for the time being?
Mata, Drogba (beast still got it, at least 'til summer), Sturridge
Meireles, Ramires
Luiz
Cole, Terry, Alex, Ivanovic
Cech
And then revamp your bench, and get some fresh blood in rotations.
So then why did he want out of Old Trafford?

Gary Cahill in.
He needs to move the dead weight but that might have to happen in the summer. Mikel, Alex, Kalou, Malouda have to go. Personally, I'd sell Lampard to really stamp myself on the team.
