Only because we had Xabi and Mascherano pushing the ball forward. With nobody on the current squad capable of filling those roles, he is often forced to drop deeper to gain possession. Really sucks.

Adam, Downing, Maxi, Carra and Spearing as well as possibly Bellamy, Kuyt, Carroll and Joe Cole


The ones in bold will be gone. I would imagine Maxi and Bellamy would move on, but who knows. Downing and Carroll need to be given more time. Giving up on that investment so quickly just can't be done. Spearing will stay solely because he is the only other DM we have.

I'll give you Carroll and Spearing (has very low wages and is happy to be a squad player).

As far as Downing, he has shown some good signs and has looked to gain a little confidence lately. In my opinion the guy has taken the easy way out most of the season and just sent in a cross into a static box rather than take on his defender. He has gotten better but there still has been zero end product plus consider his age and wages and to me it makes sense to get some money back for him while you can. In two years he will be a 30 year old on massive wages who isn't playing regularly and can't be moved on.
