Excluding kids who will leave in the next two windows?

And Silva. It's a horrible thought, but I think the way we're being set up, we'll be fine. Might be dramatic, but Pep is changing our whole mentality, and even if the individuals that replace them aren't as good, the team will be better, even when he's gone.

You could argue they've all be replaced already.
Jesus for Aguero.
Stones for Kompany
Gomes for Fernandinho
Silva for Silva.

We really are ran differently to the rest currently.
 
Definite:
Hart (this summer)
Mangala (Jan)

Next summer:

Definite:
Sterling - if he doesn't extend

Likely contenders:
Bravo - He's not gonna get any better
Danilo - may want more football & club may want to use buyback on Maffeo
Gundogan - may want more football
Zinchenko - may want more football

Maybe:
Aguero - depends how good a season we have and who is available. More likely will see out contract
Otamendi - depends on form and whether club want to recoup some £ while they can

Very doubtful:
Kompany I can see retiring at City and joining the backroom staff, he already leads some of the analysis sessions. Too influential to lose even if injured
Silva will see out contract
Dinho is too useful to Pep
 
Gundogan has a massive season ahead.
He has to do well otherwise we may consider selling him next summer.
Apart from that I don't see any major change.
 
Probably get my head chewed off for this but maybe Bernardo Silva, can’t see him being happy with his lack of game time that he gets! He will be wanting to start week in week out
He is like a pig in shit at the moment,he loves it here,he will play more as dave plays less,he won't be going anywhere
 
Possible high profile departures:

Mendy (loan) - if he continues to be plagued by injuries

Kompany - his form last season and during the world cup was very encouraging but he will be 33 next year

Gundogan - he divides opinion on here, and he could become disheartened if his opportunities are limited during the upcoming campaign

Otamendi - it’s quite unlikely but there’s plenty of competition for places at CB and he’s another who’s over the age of 30

Danilo - I’m a big fan but he may become discontent if Walker’s seen as our first choice RB/RWB

Aguero - we might be looking to cash in whilst he still has a substantial resale value

D Silva - see Aguero

Fernandinho - see Aguero

Sterling - his contract situation needs to be resolved soon
Not been paying attention to contracts and the wishes of players that we wil honour then?
 
by next summer I expect that Zinchenko will be gone. Kompany will hang up his boots next summer in confident. I think Gundogan and Danilo are definitely "sellable" if they don't step up a level from last season.

Now we get into the real speculation.
I have a (bad) feeling this may be Aguero's final season with us. If Jesus consistently hits good form Aguero may feel it's time to pass on the baton. He has made no secret that he wants to return to Argentina at the end of his contract. Fernandinho is 50/50 probably given his age that he might want to move somewhere a little slower than the premier league since he almost certainly won't be competing for a place at the next world cup, which was a major factor in him joining us.

Those are the main ones that might go, but apart from Kompany and Zinchenko I expect the majority of the others to stay, maybe 1 or 2 of those I mentioned will actually move.

Forgot Bravo, there's a good chance he'll be moved on next summer.
 
Hart
Mangala
Denayer
Adarabioyo
Zinchenko
Delph
Foden

Sergio has 2 more seasons and keeps saying he will honour it,we can't have just one striker and we have an arrangement with him to go in 2020
Dinho only has this next season then is out of contract,depends on how he is next summer,i think he might just have been here long enough to make why he joined irrelevant
Danny is a good RB,he is not a LB despite being played there,he is a great squad player and will stay i think
Gundy will play more as dave and dinho play less and is a quality player,he was peps first signing so he will stay i think
Vinny's last season coming up,who knows but i think he will stay with us in some way
