Good stuff about the 'big project' in the summer - out will go Malouda, Kalou, Drogba, Bosingwa and maybe even Mikel (no gurantee Lamps will stay either..), and that money plus the Stadium sponsorship money we'll get this summer plus our regular budget will help us rebuild - in such a way that we won't need to again for a while, only minor tinkering will be required in future summers.
Good times ahead, I am sure.
The "big" project has in no way been confirmed, if it has I'd like to see a link, it could just simply be bringing in 1 or 2 players and nothings been confirmed so I wouldnt get to excited. Whatever moves we make have to be offset for the FPP rules as well.
All the players you have mentioned have given great service to the club and helped bring success.
There are many reasons why they are seen as struggling this season, a new manager trying out new tactics that just dont suit them is one, age and injuries are others.
I wish fans werent so fickle about players, especially Drogba - he has a better strike rate than Torres and has been incredible for us. Even Mikel, liked and trusted by Mourinho, and Kalou have contributed.
I bet under a different manager we would be doing better with these players in the league.
