Just been reading about the ACON in Jan and remembered that normally we look forward to a mass exodus of playing stars at this point. Not so this time I reckon... Essien is out anyway, Mikel can be covered by Ramires or Luiz if he is fit, we have a plethora of strikers to fill Drogbas boots and you could stick a useless prick on the field and he'd do better than Kalou does most games he starts...
