That's 28 in the First team squad at the moment?
- Willy Caballero
- Joe Hart
- Richard Wright
- Aleksandar Kolarov
- Bacary Sagna
- Eliaquim Mangala
- Gael Clichy
- Martin Demichelis
- Pablo Zabaleta
- Vincent Kompany
- Jason Denayer
- Fernando
- Bruno Zuculini
- Fernandinho
- Jesus Navas
- Marcos Lopes
- Samir Nasri
- David Silva
- Paul Pogba
- Kevin De Bruyne
- Yaya Toure
- Raheem Sterling
- Unal
- Sergio Aguero
- Stevan Jovetic
- Edin Dzeko
- Wilfried Bony
- Kelechi Iheanacho
Remove HG and expected Loans leaves us with 19/20 foreign players
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
- Willy Caballero
- Aleksandar Kolarov
- Bacary Sagna
- Eliaquim Mangala
- Martin Demichelis
- Pablo Zabaleta
- Vincent Kompany
- Fernando
- Fernandinho
- Jesus Navas
- Samir Nasri
- David Silva
- Paul Pogba
- Kevin De Bruyne
- Yaya Toure
- Stevan Jovetic
- Edin Dzeko
- Sergio Aguero
- Wilfried Bony
- Kelechi Iheanacho (doesn't need to be registered?)
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).
