Who would be the Phil Jones for city or Chelsea over the last 10 seasons? These clubs usually get rid of their Jones's after 3 seasons.
Mangala, Fernando, David Luiz, an ageing Ivanovic comes to mind. And they were booted out real fast. I can not for the life of me understand why we are so slow with booting out underperforming players. Or that we renew their contracts.
We need hardworking, gifted players who are a tier below world class. But some players in our squad are stealing a living.
The likes of Anderson, Fellaini, Captain Ashley young, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Jesse Lingard.
I actually admire Johny Evans, Welbeck, Cleverley, Schneiderlin and others who would rather move to other mid table clubs and get game time instead of being contented in our club playing 10-15 matches in a year spending the rest of the season in the injury table.
