Gudjohnsen's left and Smertin's gone as well ...

... and I think they're going to ship Wright-Phillips out somewhere. Wouldn't be surprised to see Geremi and Duff depart too.

I agree with your point about that group of players being difficult (if not impossible) to keep together and happy at one club, but I think Mourinho has enough nous to do so for at least one more year, at least as far as the Premiership is concerned - even if certain players are unhappy, they'll win enough League games to get the most points, I reckon.

As for Terry, he'll get enough protection from his midfield, and his centre-back partner.

Keep an eye on Liverpool this year, too - I think they've got a very good League campaign in them this time out.
