Champions League Squad 2016-2017

[cibaman]

Looking at the current bunch of players we have I think (and correct me if I am wrong) that we have 27 players currently at the club to fit into 21 spaces. 5 of which are homegrown players.

these players are :

Homegrown (5)
Joe Hart
John Stones
Fabian Delph
Gael Clichy
Raheem Sterling

Foreign (22)
Willy Caballero
Pablo Zabaleta
Bacary Sagna
Vincent Kompany
Eliaquim Mangala
Nicolas Otamendi
Aleks Kolarov
Fernando
Fernandinho
Ilkay Gundogan
Bruno Zuculini
Yaya Toure
David Silva
Kevin De Bruyne
Jesus Navas
Samir Nasri
Olexander Zinchenko
Leroy Sane
Nolito
Sergio Aguero
Wilfried Bony
Kelechi Iheanacho

so if we don't sign anyone else, we will need to get rid of 6 players, we all know its been rumoured that Mangala, Nasri & Bony could be leaving, and you'd think that there won't be any room for Zuculini and Zinchenko, so that leaves 1 more to go from the squad. my money would be on Kolarov.

Is it definitely the case that Kelechi becomes Club associated in January? if so Gabriel Jesus can take his place then with no disruptions.

Is this the likely squad?

Homegrown (4)
John Stones
Fabian Delph
Gael Clichy
Raheem Sterling

Foreign (17)
Claudio Bravo
Willy Caballero
Pablo Zabaleta
Bacary Sagna
Vincent Kompany
Nicolas Otamendi
Aleks Kolarov
Fernando
Fernandinho
Ilkay Gundogan
David Silva
Kevin De Bruyne
Jesus Navas
Leroy Sane
Nolito
Sergio Aguero
Kelechi Iheanacho

Kelechi Iheanacho

That looks like the squad, unless anyone else comes in/goes out.

 

[The Blue one!]

Maybe hart will stay until January and we can replace willy with hart and enter yaya to the squad??

I think it almost certainly will be that.

I think it almost certainly will be that.

No Toure there, which I agree with tbh - it's a numbers game. If he stays, he'll be confined to PL games, like Jovetic was.

 

[bellsouth]

So Toure, Nasri, Mangala and Bony all to be sold/loaned before 31st?

Don't think Toure will go. He will keep pocketing his £230k per week. We have to hope he can finally be tempted by Chinese cash in January; otherwise, hard to see him leaving as no one else will pay him that sort of money.

He might get a decent weekly wage from another English club but don't think City want to sell him to, or any of those other guys, to an EPL rival.

I think a YaYa hanging round the place not eligible to play will not play out well.

We need to find space or need rid.

Joe would just take Willy's place. He's not considered club trained, so would need to occupy an association trained spot of which we already have 4. Means he would need to take 1 of the spots allowed for foreign players.
