Another big clearout ahead this summer!

[Wrighty Wrexham]

Torres is truely class I hope he doesnt fire Liverpool to 4th!!!

 

[Nascent Blues]

5 palyers:

LB
RB
CM - playmaker
CM - box to box
Striker in the mould of Torres ie. quick as lightning

As for who leaves, i'll leave that to Mancini.

 

[levets]

Like SWP Ireland Petrov hopefully not Bellars or Given!

I think its all those 5

Could 'shocks' be Adebayor, Toure, Santa Cruz, Ireland, Wright Phillips & Richards in addition to Petrov, Garrido, Benjani etc...

Just guessing ;-)

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we moved Ade and Kolo on, don't think anyone would take RSC of us with his injury record.

Ireland, SWP and Richards would sound about right too.

I think any decision about Bellamy will be based on his fitness. We know he cant play regularly twice a week which will be a bigger problem if we are in Europe. There will come a time when we will struggle to get him on the pitch every weekend. We can guess the risks of relegating him to a squad player. It may be a case of it being better for all concerned if he leaves the club with us wanting more rather than stays too long.

As for Given, if he does go it must be because we've got one of the top 3 best keepers in the world to replace him. It would have to someone as good a shot stopper as Given but also big enough to command the penalty area at set pieces better than Shay.

Not one of the above would surprise me at all.

I think there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth on this board in the summer.

And in the media.

SWP didn't do himself any favours by allowing his stepdad to bad mouth the club recently. This and his poor form might see him going in the summer.
Nobody will want to take RSC off our hands, so I can't see him going anywhere for a while.
Adebayor and Toure? Perhaps. Toure wouldn't be missed, but Ade would.

I think both Ireland and Micah should be be okay - for now. But unless they buck their ideas up they'll be out.

 

[The Future is Blue]

First time poster so be gentle with me!!
Went to first City match in 1970 and have been reading this forum for months and I sometimes feel I'm watching different players than some of you.
Surely a pre-requisite of being a professional footballer is the ability to trap the ball, have it under control when running with it and to pass to a player in the same colour shirt. I think City are not that far off from gatecrashing the so-called top 4 and with the money the club has its probably only a matter of time so I'm afraid even though some of the current crop of players are fans favourites they are simply not good enough to take us where we are destined to be. In my humble opinion we are crying out for a creative midfielder....someone who can receive the ball comfortably in a tight space, move forward and split the defence with a decisive pass...we have too many who are just happy to offload it 5 or 10 yards sideways.
I like NDJ's attitude but once he wins the ball he has a habit of giving it straight back to the opposition but saying that he's one of the better ones.
Stephen Ireland seems to have lost it for whatever reason and I'm not sure he was ever top 4 material anyway. Viera is/was class...if only he was 10 years younger but will be vital in our last few games if he can stay on the pitch.
SWP....don't get me started!! Can't control it! Can't pass it! Can't shoot straight! Can't beat a man without it being by accident! Contract up in 2 years and wants more money now!! Definately one for the door in the summer.
We also need better fullbacks. Richards is another like SWP that I don't see how he gets a game.He may be big and strong but a footballer...do me a favour. Continually gives the ball away or boots it straight into touch down the line.I like Zabaleta because he gives his all and he can do a job there.The reason our centre backs are overworked is that the opposition are allowed to get the ball in our box too easily. Up top I think we are pretty good but if you can get a Torres or a Rooney then why wouldn't you.This isn't fantasy football so you can't have the world 11 but improvements can be made.
Out for me are Richards, SWP, Petrov, Ireland, Robinho, Caicedo, Benjani, Jo.

In Torres, Maicon, Iniesta......these 3 would make us champions!!

Got my tin hat on for all those SWP lovers!
