Coming in & going out this summer

[Wrighty Wrexham]

Mario gone, Dzeko, Tevez, Nasri, Lescott, Kolo and hopefully Kolorov going!!

Going to be some major surgery to our team this summer hope the new guys bed in quickly or it could be another disappointing premiership season.

plus whats Sinclair and Maicon going to be doing??

Papadoupolus is a very good cb indeed! But i do believe we should keep the 17m and just keep joleon for the rest of the year

If rumours are to be believed, Lescott wants to leave. If that's the case, then we should let him go. I'd rather he stayed but he is coming to the end of his career. We should let him go for a fee and wish him luck.

Replacing him will be difficult. We may also see Kolo leave. How the club handles the comings and goings of the centre-halves is going to be tricky.

I certainly hope we are never in a position where we have to rely on Garcia at centre-half. I would also rather not see Micah in that position unless we are desparate. If only Rodwell could keep himself fit, he would increase our options at centre-half.

There is newspaper talk (I know) that Vermaelen is looking to leave Arsenal. I don't think he is the top class defender some would have you believe and he has had a fair few injuries, but he could do a decent job, he has experience, is a threat from set-pieces, can play full-back and has played many times alongside Vinny. He's also the type of player who can brought into midfield at the end of a match to close it out.

as far as defense goes, I wouldn't mind seeing all our center backs stay with Lesoctt and Kolo on lower wages. They both get the job done but if they want to leave then we must look for replacements. For RB, I would sell Miacon leaving us with Micah and Zab. For LB I would sell Kolarov and bring in a young lb to be back up to Clichy. Hardest thing will be replacing the outgoing Lescott and Kolo, reliable CB's can be hard to come by, which I'm not crazy about selling them, although I realize their wages are a big problem.

gone in a puff of smoke

The English league runner is dissatisfied more this season and plans to rectify the disappointment.
It should be according to the Guardian do this by clearing out the ranks - and bring in new blood.
Up to 11 players can smoke - and Guidetti is one of the names at risk.

 

[Invisible_Goat]

Players out: Dzeko, Lescott, Toure, Sinclair, Kolarov

Maybes: Tevez, Nasri, Javi Garcia

Released: Santa cruz and Bridge


I think we will sign at least three of these players:-

Leigton Baines, Adam Maher, Isco, Iker Munain, Christian Erikison,Alexis Sanchez, Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani.

So maybe 8 of our squad players leave and we sign 3 ? lol cant see it myself

Don't think I said that smart arse. These are a bunch of names and I THINK we might go for them... I never posted a squad list or short list of every single fricin name. I just think we might get three of these players names. I have no fucking clue who else we might sign... probably some random players if we don't get who we want. Plus we wouldn't sign all of these because 5 of them are mids. What a daft fuckin reply

Players out

RSC
Bridge
Dzeko
Kolo

Sinclair (loan)

In
Papadopolis

If we sell Lescott will need another English based player which would indicate Bale.

Cavani
Jovetic
Byram
Jonathan williams ( palace)
Papudopolous
Cm ???

Out

Tevez

Kolarov
nasri
sinclair

promote guidetti

 

[Rokel1]

In

Cavani (to complete a strike force of Cavani, Aguero, Tevev, Guidetti)
Papudopolous (fiery defender with lots of potential)
Gundogan (deep lying playmaker we really need, play with Barry and push Yaya up)
Honda (Nasri replacement with quicker pace + champs league exp)

Out

Balo (already gone)
Dzeko (swap for Gundogan)
Nasri (only plays a few weeks a year)
Maicon (old)


unsure over

offer Kolo & Lescott the option to stay on for greatly reduced wages but high bonuses etc. One of them to stay at minimum.
Sinclair?
Kolarov?
Micah (so injury prone)?

It seems this maybe a busy window for us. I just hope it isn't too busy as I really think we need very little to get back to our best. Our defence is the best in the country so we just need to strengthen our attack which should add the goals and pace to bring the title back to the etihad next year,

Out:

Maicon (wages too high and we have better players)
Sinclair (manager doesn't rate him so needs moving on)
Kolo (good player but not required)
Nasri (should take the cash but this one could backfire as can see him doing great in PSG)
Dzeko (take the cash or use as leverage to get one of our targets)

In:

Cavani (i'd rather falcao personally but maybe cavani is better suited to the premier league)
Sanchez (we need pace and this kid has skill and pace)
Isco (replace nasri and can support merlin)

Barry and Lescott i'd offer them new contracts but at greatly reduced wages, both players marketability has greatly reduced so their wage demand have too reflect this;

This should cost net £30m-£40m and I think quite realistic, then depending on availability I'd look to bring in 1/2 young hungry players to strengthen the squad and push the first team.
