i don't get how can people want RVP11 to leave!?
hmm ok maybe thats just me.
anyway
lazybayor - out
denilson- out
rosicky - out if still injured and somebody offers good money. otherwise stay. he can come in handy.
bendtner.- unsure about him. sometimes he's the only one that looks like he cares about stuff , but on the other hand he 's not very good with the ball.- unsure.

the rest - stay.

1 GK Manuel Almunia (third choice keeper or sell. Skilled but big game bottler)
2 MF Abou Diaby (Stay for depth unless we have a replacment lined up. A more reliable less injury prone replacement)
3 DF Bacary Sagna (stay)
4 MF Cesc Fàbregas (stay)
5 DF Kolo Touré (If willing to become 4th choice centreback, stay. If not, sell)
7 MF Tomáš Rosický (one year pay as you play contract)
8 MF Samir Nasri (Stay)
9 FW Eduardo (stay)
10 DF William Gallas (stay, been a rock at the back)
11 FW Robin van Persie (sell if Ade stays, keep if he doesn't, my complaints are well known.)
12 FW Carlos Vela (Stay/loan)
14 FW Theo Walcott (stay)
15 MF Denílson (stay)
16 MF Aaron Ramsey (loan)
17 DF Alexandre Song (stay)
18 DF Mikaël Silvestre (BYE)
19 MF Jack Wilshere (loan unless going to be used far more)
20 DF Johan Djourou (stay)
21 GK Łukasz Fabiański (stay as second choice, talented keeper)
22 DF Gaël Clichy (stay unless we find a better one)
23 MF Andrei Arshavin (stay)
25 FW Emmanuel Adebayor (stay)
26 FW Nicklas Bendtner (stay, 13 goals isn't bad)
27 DF Emmanuel Eboué (stay)
28 MF Amaury Bischoff (Loan)
40 DF Kieran Gibbs (loan)

Loans:
Philippe Senderos (Would like him to stay but probably go as he needs first team football)
Armand Traore (Stay, second leftback)
Jay Simpson (Leave, too many options in front of him)

All great teams have a great spine. Ours is woeful as last night and Old Trafford showed.

From back to front the following go ;-

Senderous. Milan won't want and neither do we.
Gallas not an Arsenal player
One or both of Denielson and Diaby
Adeybayour - disruptive big head
RvP - injury prone and over rated by both himself and his admirers.

Bring in Benzema - yes I know it's unlikely but we would have the money if we sell Adey and Rvp. And if we got Arshavin we could get him.
Get Loric Canna or an equivalent and one other combative midfielder.
Two new Central Defenders - both two years overdue.

Given the wage savings there that could almost be self financing.

There's a case for changing the keeper but given our limited resources we'll have to stick with Manuel and Fab for one more season.

That would give us the backbone the CL S/Fs showed we palpably lack.

You call Van Persie overrated by himself and his admirers and then want us to buy Benzema. Eczema is probably one of the most overrated players around.

Not that he's a bad player - but nowhere near as amazing as people think and nowhere near as good as his price-tag suggests.

Also strikes me as someone who would make Adebayor look humble and modest.

Definite no from me.

The amount of people who want half the squad gone amazes me! i admit i have lost patience with a few of them but a complete shake up is not necessary!

I would get rid of

Gallas - I have tried to give him a chance but basically he is just not good enough

Toure - As much as i love Kolo he is no longer good enough at our level

Adebayor - Has turned into a lazy waste of space

for me thats really it, if we could add a couple of centre halfs to the sqaud this team could be excellent, until then i feel it will hold us back, we can be as good as we want going forward but one ball through the centre of our defence and all the good work is undone!

on the forward front, i think we should stick with Bendtner, make him our main centre forward and really give him a chance, every time i see him im more convinced he is going to be a top, top player for us, he can do everything, but at the moment none of it is as good as it can be, but that is due to his age and inexperience.

Swale, but next season he will still be inexperienced and only a year older, I don't think, personally, he should be our main C.F.

And thats why he should start the season in a more prominant role, thats how you get experience, he has got about 15 goals this season, thats not bad for our 4th choice forward is it!?!?

In my opinion he is so far ahead on Adebayor now, and he should start every game for the rest of the season and then get him ready to be our main man next season

That isn't hard.... John Hawley would be ahead of him also... :lol:

Gallas plays, we keep a run of cleansheets and advance to two semi's. Gallas is injured, we let in load of goals. Gallas is a corner stone we can build a defence around

with that leaving a squad of 18
simpson, traore and senderos coming back but keeping simpson, so 19
so 5, 6 or maybe 7 signings in summer priority being a class CB, versatile defender(replace outgoing silvestre and eboue) one maybe 2 DM, and a striker or 2!

Get rid of Adebayor, Silvestre !

Keep either Kolo or Gallas

Keep either Almunia or Fabianski

Keep either Denilson or Diaby.

Bring back Traore and Senderos

Buy a goalkeeper
Buy a CD
Buy a DM
Buy a forward
