With your squad for the coming season being a limit of 25,and looking at the midfield it`s well over manned.Who would you keep bearing in mind no more than 17 of the squad can be over 21.
Midfielders
Abdisalam Ibrahim (NOR) Under 21
Adam Johnson (ENG) Keep
Gareth Barry (ENG) Keep
Patrick Vieira (FRA) signed new contract
Nigel de Jong (NED) Keep
Kelvin Etuhu * (NGR)
Stephen Ireland (IRL) Keep
Michael Johnson (ENG)
Vladimir Weiss* (SVK) Under 21
Shaun Wright-Phillips (ENG)
David Silva (SPN) Obvious
Yaya (CVI) Obvious
And possibly Milner (ENG) Obvious
 
No more than 17 players can be over 21?

That's not right is it?

Does the players out on loan count among the 25 though?

Barry, DJ, Zabaleta, Vieira, Yaya, Silva, A.Johnson, Bellamy + a replacement for Ireland.

Weiss and M.Johnson on loan to a Premiership team.

No it isnt. Its no more than 17 can be non home grown players. And under 21s dont count to the 25 list. So our under 21s will probably get some Europa and Carling Cup games.
 
Adam Johnson - Our best right winger, keep
Gareth Barry - Definitely keep
Patrick Vieira - signed new contract so i guess he has to stay, i wouldnt keep him.
Nigel de Jong - Definitely keep the bulldog
Stephen Ireland - Definitely keep, We'd regret selling him
Michael Johnson - Loan him out somewhere, he wont get a game for us
Vladimir Weiss - Loan to the toon as they seem interested
Shaun Wright-Phillips - Keep, brilliant guy to have on the bench

No Silva or Yaya? ;)

I agree with all them, althought I wouldn't keep Michael Johnson. I'd sell him!
 
Abdisalam Ibrahim - Keep, good young prospect.
Adam Johnson - Keep, our best winger.
Gareth Barry - Keep, good passer of the ball.
Patrick Vieira - Keep, experienced, excellent passer of the ball.
Nigel de Jong - Keep, good tackler, breaks up opposition play.
Kelvin Etuhu - Let go, doesn't feature regularily enough.
Stephen Ireland - Let go, really has lost his head.

Michael Johnson - Keep, just for one more season though. If he doesn't get his act together he has to go.
Vladimir Weiss - Keep, good young prospect.
Shaun Wright-Phillips - Keep, but just for one more season.
 
Abdisalam Ibrahim - Keep U21
Adam Johnson - Keep
Gareth Barry - Keep
Patrick Vieira - Keep
Nigel de Jong - Keep
Kelvin Etuhu - Let go
Stephen Ireland - Keep (for one more try unless someone over pays for him)
Michael Johnson - Keep (Loan out)
Vladimir Weiss - Keep U21 (loan out)
Shaun Wright-Phillips - ???? not sure depends if we need another home grown or not.

New signings are obviously staying.
 
Abdisalam Ibrahim - loan
Adam Johnson - Keep
Gareth Barry - Keep
Patrick Vieira - Keep as a coach
Nigel de Jong - Keep
Kelvin Etuhu - Let go
Stephen Ireland - Let go
Michael Johnson - let go
Vladimir Weiss - loan
Shaun Wright-Phillip let go and I'll drive him and pay the fuel bill

Gary cook plase take note
under no circumstances should we do any business with Everton if the blue dippers are the only option then keep the player

I agree 100% with most but I like keeping Vieira, he is at the end of his career and brings great experience, hell, put him in Cup games. Our CDM's for Cup games could be Vieira and Nigel, that is quality. I would not bring in Milner and bring in Donovan because he can play anywhere in the mid but CDM and can also play up top, , and we can get him on the cheap and develop better business. Milner struggles on the wings, but don't care if we get neither.
