Chelsea have recently risen up the table but this season have been less than impressive in comparison to seasons gone buy in recent years. This has led to a variety of reports involving Roman Abramovich leaving, players leaving, and the management not happy. 

In recent media reports it seems a massive clearout at the London club is on the cards. 

Chairman Bruce Buck has suggested that the team will be torn up and that they will start from scratch by bringing in some new talent and kicking out the dead wood.  However, this will largely depends on how generous their Russian billionaire owner is feeling during the summer transfer window. 

It will probably also depend on who the new manager will be, as Hiddink is only in charge till the end of the season.

The chairman stated:

"I think that we could expect that several players will leave and that several players will come in," Buck said.

He later went on to talk about the missed opportunity of signing Brazilian superstar Robinho and that he expects to bring in around five players in order to compensate for losing the other players.

The players that have been talked about leaving in the weeks newspapers have varied from newspaper to newspaper but the common players mentioned include Florent Malouda, Michael Ballack, Deco, Alex and Didier Drogba, who are all apparently in the firing line.

Whoever leaves and whoever comes in, Chelsea fans everywhere will just hope that they can bring success back to their club.

Who do you think will leave, come in, or be replaced?
