I'd personally keep both Mangala and Otamendi. Bring in Denayer and treat Kompany like Spurs did Ledley King (and like the last couple of weeks). We keep investing stupid money in Centre halfs when clearly its the system at fault. Both Mangala and Ota were getting rave reviews elsewhere and come here and are both suddenly shit, but prone to worldy performances. Its unlikely that any big name defender comes in and performs like an in prime Kompany - lets see if Pep can get anything out of them. Denayer for Demi sounds excellent to me.
Delph... Has shown flashes of decency and I like him as a player. He is utterly useless wide left but with games in the middle he could yet prove his worth under Pep if he avoids any more injuries. Sterling gets far too much hate. His Champions league performances should earn him some good will alone and he got far too much stick in the league before his injury.
Leaving, I'd guess, would be:
Caballero - Pellegrini's man. Really the only reason he's here.
Zaba or Sagna - Based on this season its Zaba but you never know.
Kolarov - Should have gone years ago.
yaya - before his agent tarnishes his legacy anymore. Hopefully he finishes the season in the form of 2012 and 14.
Bony - Malaria, not the right fit... who knows, but it hasn't worked at all.
Silva, Nasri, and Fernando all question marks. I'd never close the door on Silva and he started this season in brilliant form. Nasri is a strange one. Very good player but there always seems some speculation about him being out the door. I have warmed to Fernando a lot but like many have said he may not be a pep player... I'd say he has earned an opportunity to impress pep besed on this season. I suppose Mangala is going too, but like I said, I think that's a mistake.
