If the men in charge at City get their way and we get our targets on our A list this year I guess we're probably looking at Cavani, Jovetic, Isco, Marquinho, a young left back and maybe a player like Benat or Fernandinho. So that if we get get lucky on all our targets thats 6 in.
Going out the obvious ones are Kolo, RSC, Bridge with Lescott very likely as are Dzeko and Kolarov. Sinclair will probably want to leave. Maybe Nasri and Maicon will go if the deals are right.
Tevez will be hard to shift as who would buy him given his stated intention to return to Argentina at the end of next season?
We may see Pantilimon leave if he wants first team football, if that happens will be in for another keeper.
Assuming no other big movers (possibles being Barry, Garcia maybe Yaya after today's quotes).
That would be 9 or 10 of our current squad gone leaving us with:
Hart, New keeper, Wright.
Nastasic, Kompany, Clichy, Rekik, Richards, Zabaleta, Marquinho, New LB.
Barry, Garcia, Yaya, Silva, Razak, Milner, Rodwell, Isco, New MF, Suarez
Aguero, Tevez, Cavani, Jovetic, Guidetti.
Giving us 26, of which 6 are Homegrown and 3 are club homegrown so we would be ok for the Premier League in terms of numbers as Nastasic, Razak, Suarez and Rekik would be under 21. For Europe we would be 2 over the limit as we only have 3 club homegrown players (Richards, Razak and Guidetti).
There are probably a couple of others that could also feature at some stage but not in Europe (the likes of Lopes and Pozo).
The other thing would be that the loss of Kolo, Bridge, RSC and Mario alone would reduce substantially our wage bill. That's before factoring in the lost wages of Lescott, Nasri, Kolarov, Dzeko and Maicon. These would be offset heavily by the arrivals of the likes of say Cavani, Jovetic and Isco.
