You can't make that many changes - look at QPR last season and Sunderland at the start of this season.

What has Mike Williamson done that is that wrong? Has been our best defender this year.
I do hope the club has a mini overhaul in the summer. we will have to up top anyway.
we'll go nowhere as long as Shola is at this club, looks like he's leaving when his contract expire. Cisse is seemingly on his way in the summer. De Jong and Remy will return to their parent clubs/go elsewhere.
we need rid of fringe players like obertan, marveaux etc. and replace cabaye. why the club can;t see ben arfa is overweight is beyond me.
Santon has gone as far as he can at this club, too predictable and woeful crossing. Colo may go so we'll also have to replace him.
well not so much a mini overhaul but quite a large one. will it happen - we know it won't.

Look, Mike williamson has been very good, he's 30 now, but he shouldn't be playing for us. He's an average defender that looks good in a poor team.

michipper, look at sunderland they've actually got a decent manager with a decent coaching setup and a decent owner and they overhauled the squad and staff, and now they look like they're going to overtake us if Ashley's in charge for the next year or so.

Santon is decent. Ben arfa is the only entertaining player at the club (except when he loses the ball). Williamson has had a better season than last season mind!

I do agree staff needs a massive overhaul and has needed so for years. for years we have signed promising youngsters who have failed to make the grade, and coaching has got to take a large part of the blame for that. Even first team coaching needs to vastly improve. Look at Santon - I don't think his crossing has improved one bit. his defending can be called into question as well. same with fringe playes like Sammy and Obertan. they are (or were in Obertan's case) young enough too be taught to become better.
Vuckic came with a massive reputation and has shown glimpses in the few prem outings he has been given, but it says a lot when a championship team wouldn't even take him on loan. he's ended up in league 1.
