After a shaky start under Monk we finished
the season.well.
Winning 3 out of the last 4 games and taking
18 points from 14 games in total.
Also put in 2 very good performances against
Napoli.
So why get shot of so many a big gamble in.my
opinion hope it works out. |  |

Because we wanted every trace of Laudrup and the Laudrupettes removed from the club. |  | | |

And most probably both of these things. Apparently JDG isn't coming back either. I'm not worried about all the players who have left, what's the point? I'm more worried about how the new arrivals will perform.
But even in saying that, if we can get in another 2/3 players of the right quality, in the right positions, I will be quite confident. |  |

There have been.plenty over the years that have
said they dont want to stay and the club have tried
to keep them.
No doubt Monk wanted shot of most of them
hope it was for football reasons and not personal ones. | |

I don't really think we've lost anyone that important, and nor do I think that the number of changes was anything to do with the performance today.
Vorm - widely slated on here last season and most wanted an improvement.
Michu - barely played all season and clearly didn't want to be here. Gylfi is a much better option than the Michu we had last season.
Chico - I don't think we're getting rid, and it looked like he wanted to stay but can't turn down the megabucks from Qatar. Fair enough as long as we get a decent replacement in and don't end up with just Amat or Bartley as first choice.
Pablo - looked decent under Monk in fairness and I'm a bit disappointed that he's not staying, but he's injury prone and inconsistent and only had a year left on his contract.
JDG - Looked like we're sticking with Ki over him, not my preference really and if we could ship Ki off to Villa and use that money to bring JDG back I'd be all for it.
Pozuelo - Meh.
Canas - Looks like he was one of the main troublemakers. Thought he started promisingly but went downhill as the season progressed. No great loss but does need to be replaced. |  | | |

I do remember several players who were willing to stay for more money!
It will always be the case that some players want to leave, some players are told they can go but want to stay and some players say they want to stay but go take a bigger pay offer anyway.
It's just how football is. | |

Well either we did not try or we wanted them out for whatever reason. I am bemused by it all like the OP. If changes were needed then they should have been done gradually and planned carefully within a reasonable timetable.. It looks like none of this has been considered. |  |

Agreed, except Vorm. Fab' today showed how we'll miss Vorm's distribution. So many long hopeful punts, so I hope they'll be working on this with him. Vorm didn'tt have a decent season last year, but he nearly always looked to get us playing from the back which is when we look our best. |  | | |

That is fairly impossible. Players deals run down, other players just need getting rid of and some players we want we just can't get.
Football isn't as easy as that, unfortunately. Even the biggest clubs sometimes have mass changes. | |

Partzy you always talk a lot of sense but you should be sharing your criticisms with w*nkers like Michu too.
Personally and as I've said before I can't wait untill a big club sits some over inflated ego in the stand for a season,players have too much pull and others like Chico and Pablo have no ambition. | |

Yes good distribution is important but why cant we get the ball into the opponents half quicker each time it comes from the back?we were far too slow bringing the ball forward from defence to midfield,rangel failed to get beyond the back line of villareal,time and time again,dyer was missed there today,montero was not given enough support in the first half by taylor,lets hope by sat things will get sorted or we are in deep shite. | | | |

Fair enough. I've only seen him live once at Exeter and his distribution seemed ok, have heard that it's not the best though. Hopefully the rest of his game will offset the loss of Vorm's excellent distribution. I do agree that it was a big asset for us. | | | |

Don't agree. You rarely see changes like this at other clubs. Unless relegation occurs or you have a surprise promotion and the squad is threadbare. You have to plan players contracts so that there is continuity. I sure that has been our objective for have last few seasons. Until now of course. | |

But Fab didn't play at Exeter! I was there and seem to remember Tremell played most of the game, eventually being replaced by Cornell. |  |

Has pablo and Canyas actually gone yet.
If we cant find a CDM Monk should swallow his pride
and think of the club instead of his ego.
How much we getting for Pablo i wonder. | |

"why did we let so many 1st teamers leave"
I really wants to hear. Monk and the board's honest answer to this. The communication is shocking.
All those threads and posters listing player departures and incomings, trying to convince people that we are in better shape than last year...where are they now?
I think that question is looking answered at the moment. | |

Seriously though the Pablo thing is f*cking pathetic from the club. | |
