Agree about Nasri, but I'd be amazed if out of a 31 (club legend) and 33 year old right back, they'd keep the 33 year old.
The cynic in me also suggests he may have been playing for his future this season as well to a degree - would he be like the Sagna of last season if he was in and out of the team again?
What you say makes sense, Zab is 18 months younger and is a club legend. However I think we'll buy a new LB and RB in the summer. I think Sagna is probably more willing to be a squad type player rather than what Zabaleta is.
I'm purely speculating but it's just how I see it.
Funny seeing scousers on social media going on about them potentially winning a head-to-head with us over some potential targets as Gundogan, Xhaka and Sane. Good times!
He wanted to leave Dortmund while Klopp was there so I doubt it...Would working with Klopp again not appeal to Gundogan?
I would hope Guardiola, CFA and world class team mates would appeal more.Would working with Klopp again not appeal to Gundogan?
I think Pep will retain Mangala and Nasri, but the rest you are probably right about.Players I think Pep will deem not good enough or surplus to requirements
Demichelis
Mangala
Kolarov
Delph
Toure
Nasri
Bony
Should get between 60m - 80m for that lot which will go a long way towards paying for Pogba's right leg.
Yeah Nasri is the one I was unsure about but the fact that we already have Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling and we will probably buy 2 or 3 more midfielders, I just don't think think there will be enough room for him. Possibly he could play deeper.I think Pep will retain Mangala and Nasri, but the rest you are probably right about.
Concerning Mangala I am like you hoping that Pep can develop him into a great defender. To me he seems to have so much in common with Boateng in terms of physical abilities. Boateng was for years and years also an accident waiting to happen, but now he is just fantastic. Hoping the same for Mangala.Yeah Nasri is the one I was unsure about but the fact that we already have Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling and we will probably buy 2 or 3 more midfielders, I just don't think think there will be enough room for him.

I would sell Mangala but if Pep can have a similar effect on him that he had on Boateng then who knows. He certainly has the physical attributes and seems to have a good understanding with Vinny.
