Players That May Be Sold

SPORT in Spain says Txiki Begiristain is planning a big clearout of what he believes to be an unbalanced squad that is overloaded with pointless players bloating the wage bill. Agree/disagree?

I've been saying similar for a few seasons,the squad is very unbalanced and lacks adaptability/options - Mancini has done little to address this as he is stubborn with his system.

Poor purchases and excessive,lucrative contracts have done nothing for our squad size and wage bill.

Hopefully this fella will now begin sorting our shit out.

PS: Article also mentions it could lead to Pep's arrival but that is an argument that has been done 100 times.

Will be interesting to see whether who we sell (and who we buy) is an indication of Pep taking over, but 2+2 as in Barca bosses doesn't always = 4 as in Pep.

Agree! And Pep will be in England before Xmas and could attend our match against Reading.

Wouldn't be surprised...

4 strikers is too much IMO...need 1 less and 1 more attacking midfielder.

Look at our midfielders....Yaya, Barry, Milner, Garcia, Rodwell....physically strong players but many of them are just so slow and not a single proper passer there.

Agree, we keep buyin dumper trucks when we really need Ferraris. I think Milner's got a great passing range though (when he's not stuck out on the chuffin wing!)

I would sell.

Garcia
Dzeko
Kolo
Santa Cruz
Bridge
Pantilimon

I agree with this.

We have too many players - too many average ones as well - and it is causing Mancini to not know his best team.

4 top strikers is ridiculous as well, strikers need to play to gain form and create personal partnerships, strikers want to get to game day and know full well thay they will be starting, not worrying if he is going to benched even if he scored a hattrick a week before.

We need continuity.

Milner, if played centrally, could for us be what Lampard was for Chelsea for years. I would understand him if he wanted to move on in order to get more playing time, but I do hope he stays and that he gets the chance to play more regularly.

The fuck are you on about?

I said this already in the Marwood last day of window thread. We lack an out and out CM as a passer and third runner and got shot down so its refreshing to hear others and board say the same.

We could accrue a heap from a clear out. Bring in top players capable of starting eleven places. Fill in gaps with youth.
