Given the amount of people decrying the state of our team and how major changes need to happen I'd think more people would be more open to a clearout, unless you believe that it's purely the squad players fault that we were unable to win towards the end of the season then a few bigger names leaving wouldn't be an awful thing to happen.
I think the squad needs a massive overhaul, but I don't think the concern is necessarily for players leaving; It's about whether we spend big and actually push the boat out a bit. Losing all the players you mentioned would be terrible, but I doubt it'll happen. Clichy / Nas / Cesc look likely, but we're capable of replacing them. Not like for like, but then that's not what I want....I want some bollocks and backbone.
