The first XI is actually quite strong (though an attacking mid is needed - especially so if Jack is broken). But the first XI never play - and it's not just us, the days of having your first-choice XI which you more or less pick every game are gone for most top clubs. You need a squad of players. You need 18 players roughly on the same level, and an extra 7 who are very capable back-ups. Everyone rotates and you have to rotate. But aside from our starting XI, there is no quality.
Flavs is right that sorting out the wages situation should be a priority. We lost Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy but gaining Arteta, Park, Gervinho, Mertesacker, Santos and Benayoun wasn't cheap in terms of wages. It is silly to keep paying players who never play. I have a lot of sympathy for him but Diaby - why the fuck is he getting paid? Gibbs - why the fuck is he getting paid? Every player has to count. If you're paying them £40k a week, their performances have to be worth £40k a week. If they never play, what's the point? Get rid, free up some cash and find some players that will play. Some mass changes needed.

There is not a cat in hell's chance of us buying Hazard.
Nope, the board will never stump up the cash.
Well to be fair, City and RM have already spoken out about Hazard so if we're competing with them we'd have no chance even with an ambitious board/manager.
There's always a chance tbh, its whether you take it.
By "Hell", do you mean "Anfield"?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
rumours going round that Djourou has signed a contract extension for two years
By rumours, do you mean Twitter?
Not one of the more interesting rumours. Why only two years, though?
