[C_T_I_D]

Petrov (expired contract)
Taylor (expired contract)
Vieira (expired contract)
Garrido (not good enough)
Toure (not commanding enough, at fault for several goals)
Sylvinho (might aswell fall on the floor once he's ran a few sprints)
Zabaleta (not good enough, gets outpaced and turned inside out)
Richards (not good enough, not fulfilled potential)
Ireland (people will disagree, but don't care. one season wonder)
SWP (not the same player who left for chelsea, get rid if won't be impact sub)
Robinho (lazy shithouse with a bad attitude, coward who failed in europe)
Jo, Bojinov, Benjani & Caciedo (no explanation required)
Santa Cruz (even City couldn't afford his medical bills, total crock!)

Those who said Michael Johnson, he'd make a good back-up so shush!

I disagree having a mass clearout as we need to have a competent squad, i.e. competition in all places, even if those considered just a squad player wont get many games. But here's my thoughts on those you name;

I keep hearing people talk about having "a clear out" of the deadwood but who specifically do you all mean. Come on name and shame
For me it would be:
Goalkeepers
* Marton Fulop (HUN) on loan so going anyway
* Gunnar Nielsen (FAR) Only need one 3rd string player and i'd pick Taylor
* Stuart Taylor (ENG) See above

Defenders
* Sylvinho (BRA) He's had his day
* Javier Garrido (ESP)Ok for a backup - keep
* Shaleum Logan * (ENG) Played so few games it's hard to form an opinion
* Micah Richards (ENG) Keep - he's on the road to getting back to his old form now he's back at right back. If someone could just teach him about positioning

Midfielders

* Kelvin Etuhu * (NGR) Agree - deadwood
* Michael Johnson (ENG) Fantastic before he got injured. Needs to be given a chance to show it again
* Martin Petrov (BUL) Good player. Would keep as a squad player but it looks like he wants to go
* Shaun Wright-Phillips (ENG) Not the same player since Chelsea, but has worked well as an impact sub - Keep as a squad player

Strikers
* Valeri Bojinov * (BUL) Agree - Deadwood
* Felipe Caicedo * (ECU) I like the guy. Squad player only though
* Jô * (BRA) A whole Brazilian rainforest full of deadwood
* Benjani Mwaruwari* (ZIM) Agree - deadwood
* Robinho * (BRA) On those rare occasions he puts the effort in, fantastic. Unfortunately, these are few and far between. I'd happily let him go to Santos on a free
* Roque Santa Cruz (PRY) A trier, but lacks quality, making him deadwood

That is 17 players (6 of them either being out on loan or on loan at city) a lot of change in a squad that's already been through masses of change but i cant see any of them being good enough for next year

I also have my reservations about Bridge. he gets turned too easily time and time again. And Toure needs to stop ballwatching and watch his man

pretty much agree with everything but stevie needs to sort himself out (or as sad as it sounds) find a new club.

 

[tyqmvko]

Goalkeepers
Marton Fulop (Going anyway)
Stuart Taylor (Not good enough)

Defenders
Sylvinho (Past it)
Javier Garrido (Not good enough)
Kolo Toure (Don't rate him that much)

Midfielders
Patrick Vieira (Contract expires)

Wingers
Kelvin Etuhu (Not good enough)
Martin Petrov (Wants to play regularly, but not going to so won't be happy)
Robinho (Burnt his bridges)

Strikers
Valeri Bojinov (Not good enough)
Jo (Not good enough)
Benjani Mwaruwari (Not good enough)
Roque Santa Cruz (Decent but too injury prone)
*Emmanuel Adebayor (Lazy and fails to win headers most of the time despite his height. However I would only get rid of him IF we can bring in a world class striker to replace him.

I'd get rid of:

Santa Cruz - Constantly injured, decent when fit but thats very rare.
Petrov - Clearly doesn't want to be here.
Sylvinho - Contract expires.
Robinho - You could put him in the womens league and he'd still get muscled out of the games. Sell.
Jo - NO RESPECT FOR MANCHESTER CITY FOOTBALL CLUB. FUCK OFF.
Nimley (Loan)
Etuhu - Deadwood.
Boyata (Loan)
Bojinov - Not suited to this league.
Ibrahim (Loan)
Adebayor - Last night swung it for me, didn't look bothered!! Never wins anything in the air which is a joke.
Benjani - Past it.

I'd bring in:

Joe Hart**
Wiess**
Caicedo** - Like his attitude, good squad player.
J.Boateng (Hamburg) £8Million
Di Maria (Benfica) £25Million
Cuellar (Aston Villa) £5Million + Richards??
Dzeko (Wolfsburg) £18Million
Gourcuff (Bordeaux) £20Million
and a couple of talented youngsters...


So next season would be:

Hart
Cuellar Lescott Kompany Boateng
A.Johnson Gourcuff de Jong Di Maria
Tevez Dzeko

AGREED with all except..... RSC(give him one more season to prove himself proper)
petrov hughes dropped him when he was a form player
sylvinho a great squad player/experience well rounded bloke
logan only young we need to keep english squad members,
swp..off the boil this year/missing the WC will feed his desire of the game.. one of our own!!!!!
