[Discussion] Maybe controversial but, I really think we may be better off with Ibrahimovic, Carrick and Rooney leaving. (self.reddevils)

Goodness knows I've been a huge Carrick fan, longer than others I'll hazard to say. Ibra has been an incredible influence, if not always on point, and I'd hesitate to doubt he could do it one more season. Non too many will argue against Rooney leaving but none should deny, he's a true legend for this club and I'll be glad when everyone dons the rose tint in hindsight some day soon.

However,

the club has struggled with a sort of congestion in the team for years now. I think we really need to free up the space to let the squad breath as it were. You might argue that we'd lack a leader, and yes it can and has been fatal in seasons past, but we have to create opportunity for someone to step up and think we've got players capable of doing that.

I just think we need a real refresh and inject a little more talent over experience in the areas these players occupy. A refresh we haven't totally managed in the past couple years.

Only Ibra is controversial.

Rooney is clearly finished. Carrick is done too, we need a replacement asap.

Zlatan is still delivering but you can make a case for wanting a different type of striker.

Just wanna say I love the tone of your post, hope it stays and get some good/thoughtful discussion. Sorry I didn't produce any myself. For what it's worth, I love all three of those players however I think you're right too. It's a gamble though, as I'm not so certain we have the players to step up. I can see Herrera willing, Mata also.

We've got a serious cohesion problem though, which I think is what you're seeing. Bringing in fresh players doesn't necessarily fix that.

Well Carrick and Rooney are almost definitely leaving (or possibly retiring in the case of Carrick), and Ibra may well too.

The sunny beaches of Perth are calling Michael Carrick!

I'm sure plenty of people are hoping he'll retire rather than go somewhere else, but god I'd love to see him in Perth

Depends on what players the club buys for replacement..

I agree with what you said, we badly need a replacement for Carrick, Rooney I'm not too pushed about because I feel like our other attacking options are better.

I'll probably get down voted for this but I also wouldn't be opposed to Ibra leaving at all. He's been brilliant for us for the majority of the season but I feel like the other players are suffering in order to get the best from Ibra, the whole style of play is set around him. I'm not sure really who we could get to replace him though. Griezmann possibly but I dunno if he's suited to being the sole striker. I just want someone who will suit our style of play instead of another world record signing just because they're available.

I agree with the sentiment of replacing those positions but not about the process of them leaving all at once. That's a lot of experience that could be useful in the dressing room, in training etc when we are building Jose's team.

I completely agree about the need for change though, I'd probably phase Rooney out first in the summer, Ibra and Carrick next summer.
