I'd keep Richardson and Cole. I think they offer decent experience to the club.

I have no reason whatsoever for thinking that Joe Cole gives our team anything.

Last season I kept hoping he would, but was always disappointed when he didn't.

If its a choice between boredom and signing Cole, Richardson and Senderos, i'd take boredom.

According to Grealish he's helped him.

Cole made a decent contribution at the end of last season. His substitute appearances against Everton and Spurs in particular helped us close the games down.

They have to get their ciggies from somewhere.

Time to move the club forward. No place for the likes of Cole, Richardson, Senderos. All yesterday's men and taking up valuable salary. Experience apart, they offer very little.

YouTube videos are notoriously unreliable

But the chery video from last season does make him look quite exciting (and unlike Tonev his stats look good too)

Absolutely agree.

I agree they need to be moved on, but the expense involved in replacing them all with adequate quality, plus the time to bed in a large number of new arrivals, is a big ask.  Hence I'd rather live with some of them for another 12 months and then continue the job in summer 2016.

Those were three signings last summer that made us look like a club preparing for the championship.

Agree.  I don't think they would he bad bench options for another 12 months.
