Coming in & going out this summer

[greasedupdeafguy]

Guidetti will stay, we gave him a long-term contract last season. Think Wright will stay as well unless one of our EDS keepers is promoted to 3rd choice.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I would keep Guidetti and Nasri (if he keeps up recent form) from that list.

agreed, and I think we will (the list is just speculation, most of them being obvious)

Good stuff EJ but poor old Rodders left hanging outside - he's our next Yaya! Seriously, I think Guidetti isn't ready and will go on loan next season and I also think Fernandinho & Nagatomo have the wrong age profile despite being excellent players. In my fantasy world I'd have possibly Paulinho & Kondogbia instead - we have good left back cover with Zab and Rekik coming through but Kondogbia is also very accomplished in that position in addition to his main talents in midfield. Eric Lamela would be a fantastic acquisition but getting him or Marquinhos from Roma will be almost as tricky as DDR. Benteke is my call instead of Guidetti and to keep inside the home-grown quota I'd have Micah as centre half cover and get young Byram from Leeds. Gundogan is also worth a shout - we'd then have Gundog & Kondog in the middle of the pack - I'll stop before I go giddy ;-)

The opposition would cut through that midfield with ease.

Depends on the opposition.....if we are playing a decent side we can bring in Obiang or Rodwell for Maher or one of the strikers

 

[decmancity]

Any opposition would have no trouble with that midfield. Can't expect Yaya to run the midfield himself.

Silva and Reus would be wasted as left/right midfielders as well.

my runners and riders list as of today

 

[IBlue]

Hopefully go for a couple of young players aswell as the headliners, wouldn't mind a go for Matt Lowton the young Villa fullback, he looks excellent, great on the ball and quick, a player who could adapt to our style of play, there other full back aint bad also

 

[Joehannes]

The 'out' list is pretty much the same as has been touted for a while the futures of Barry, Tévez and Nasri can certainly be treated with uncertainty.

Coming in, however.
Depends on the manager.
Think it's pretty safe to assume that Mancini's number one target is Cavani. However, if Pellegrini were to take over then I could definitely see him asking for Isco and playing only one striker, regardless of size, up front.

Either way, I think there will be one big signing. £40M+
