That's 28 in the First team squad at the moment?

  20. Kelechi Iheanacho (doesn't need to be registered?)
So if we sold Jovetic and Dzeko we would have Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho, Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva, Navas & Nasri that could play in the front 3

So for me if we move Jovetic and Dzeko that allows the additions to be made?

Final Squad being?

I think that's where the pull for finding a home grown keeper comes from. I wouldn't be adverse to promoting Gunn but may be too soon for him this season

As I said above, that's working on the assumption that City feel it's appropriate/sensible to go from a front 4 option of Aguero, Bony, Dzeko and Jovetic, to one of Aguero, Bony and Iheanacho (with Sterling as an alternative). I really don't see us believeing that's acceptable. Sterling will play more as a midfielder, out wide, or behind a loan striker. Iheanacho is totally unproven and probably best suited to a loan move this summer. I really don't see City going into the season with only 2 front line strikers, plus an unproven teenage prospect, and an out of position attacking midfielder, when we've currently got 3 out and out strikers (Aguero, Bony, Dzeko) plus a striker/attacking midfielder (Jovetic).
 
I guess i'm just really optimistic that Iheanacho can and will be able to step up and impress.

Who knows how good this kid really could be!
 
Sagna and Fernando out and replaced with Fabinho and Aranguiz .....absolute perfect window

Sorry, but I just can't see a scenario where we sell Jovetic and Dzeko and don't bring in another striker. Unal isn't getting anywhere near the first team this season, he'll either spend it in the EDS squad, or out on loan. Iheanacho is a different proposition, however I'd have him, at best, as our 4th striking option, behind Aguero, Bony and another new signing. Aguero, as much as we'd like it not to be true, has a history of picking up injuries at inopportune moments, if he misses another 4 to 6 weeks, do we really want to have Bony, plus two teenage, unproven, striking options, as our only strikers? I can't see that happening.

Given the kid's record in youth divisions being ridiculous, and the fact he's played a full senior season, and is a full international, I don't see him in the EDS, it would be a massive step down. Loan maybe, but at least wait until you've seen him play a game before ruling him out.
 
There were people circle wanking when we signed him, saying that he's going to be number one and replace Hart, he's THAT good. The argument was made many times that it was utterly stupid transfer business, only to be met with abuse. One of the worst signings we've made in years, not because of the quality of the player, but because of the monumental lack of foresight and strategy that it represents.

I just don't see City signing an 18 year old the vast majority of us had never heard of and throwing him into the first team setup. His youth record looks very impressive, however he played 31 times last season, in all competitions, for Bursaspor and scored just once! That's clear proof he's nowhere near being able to make any impact in the Premier League at this stage. He may well be in years to come, but he'll not be involved this season, of that I'm certain.
 
Replace Willy Cabellero with Rob Green.

From what I've seen of Cabellero here, he isn't that great. To take up a foreign spot and not be very good is pretty pointless.
