Exactly this. Players who were good and contributed 3 years ago are just not doing it now. Looking at it objectively, they need to be replaced. No pace, no power, no presence, particularly in midfield. It'll take time and another couple of windows probably but we don't move forward carrying these players.I think it's getting to the point now where a lot of people need to lose the rose tinted specs around some of the senior players at this club. Too many are living on past glories and are getting the benefit of the doubt because of what they've done previously.
If Fleck, Norwood, Stevens and to a lesser extent Didzy and Baldock were new signings they'd be some serious questions being asked about recruitment (more than there already is on some).
As great as those players have been in the past we need to be ruthless and cut them loose and rebuild. Most should've been replaced after the first Premier league season when we were in a position of strength both financially and as an attractive club to new players.
