IMO we need to replace Gabby, Westwood, Gards, Elphick, Hutton and Gestede with better players in those positions. Especially if we want to achieve and maintain premiership football standards. Ayew can also move on as I'm fed up with him walking around with a face like a slapped arse.
I'm not saying all of the above are of no use but none of them are good enough for the prem and if we can replace them with improvements then why keep them?
I think last nights piss poor performance has actually come at a good time with Dr Tony being present and the transfer window opening in a couple of weeks. Better to have a reality check now than go through the window thinking that we are in better shape than we actually are.
