sorry was meant for the arsenal board though i guess you guys can discuss it with reagrds to your first team if you want..or just ignore it.
i was referring to discussing chelea first team players though with regard to your statement i reckon we'll be a force with or without him.
I believe from the main 14 players we have (Cech, Ivanovic, Sideshow , JT, Cole, Mikel, Lampard , Meireles , Mata, Ramires, Drogba, Torres, Kalou, Cahill) that 3 will definitely leave , Drogba, Kalou and Mikel with possibly Meireles but not too sure on that Outside that I can see Bosingwa, Malouda,Essien(unfortunately) and Ferreira going with Paulo hopefully rightfully joining the staff (honour and loyalty) And not sure whether Courtois is ready to come back but if he does then Hilario or Turnbull will have to make way Only replacement we have so far is Marin for Malouda so a long summer ahead
We've also signed DeBruyne. I don't see Courtois coming back, I reckon he'll have another season away but he's been outstanding for Athletico.
