Chelsea Clear-Out Planned

Chelsea executive Bruce Buck has revealed the club are planning to clear out some players to make way for replacements at the end of the season. He is quoted on Eurosport as saying:

"We haven't properly got together to talk about summer transfers yet, but I think that we could expect that several players will leave and that several players will come in," Buck said.

"I don't know whether that is three, four or five, but something in that kind of neighbourhood, so we can expect a handful to leave.

"We'd like to use internally generated cash to buy new players - and by that I mean sell players and buy new players.

"But of course if an appropriate player comes then money would be made available from the owner to buy him."

Caretaker boss Guus Hiddink is willing to advise on transfers although he still insists he will not be manager next season.

So, who do you think is likely to be shown the door at Chelsea and who is staying... who should Abramovich bring in?

Is it right that players will potentially be brought before a manager is in place?
