Keeping Kolarov seems a logical step on the basis that every other full back is out of contract and even accepting he is no longer mobile enough for first choice LB he is a versatile defender who can play a backup LB and CB role. I would imagine he will still be here next year.
I would hope this is the summer where we get in some decent young full backs to take us forward and the loss of all other senior full backs will not be a big blow.

Can't see Fernando being worth more than 10 million given we bought him for 12 a few years ago. Mangala we could recoup 20 million given he has shown in the right system he can perform (Valencia). We're making a loss but that's our fault for over paying

From an accounting point of view he's probably worth £20m so we may not see this as a huge disaster.Can't see Fernando being worth more than 10 million given we bought him for 12 a few years ago.

Who are your top 5 players you want to leave this summer? For me it’s
Nasri
Bony
Sagna
Clichy
Mangala
The only one I have an issue with is Nasri, for his lack of professionalism. Bony I feel sympathy for as he was not given the game time in a system that suited him and his form has suffered – we should never have bought him. Mangala is similar as he didn’t suit the system and wasn’t given the support. Sagna and Clichy only listed as we desperately need to move on. (Bravo probably should be on there).

Against Real Mad last week Mrs Mangle looked pretty good to be fair .

I think any decent defender can play in a simple defensive structure. Just look at Savic, absolutely awful in our system but a main stay in a very defensive atletico team.Against Real Mad last week Mrs Mangle looked pretty good to be fair .

Where the hell are the new crop of youngsters ? thats what I'd like to know. I know it takes time but surely we should be seeing some future young blues featuring in more games. Liverpool seem to have played some youngsters without compromising their top 4 challenge too much and you can see the fans are on board with this philosophy.
Back on topic, cant say I'd be sad at all to see Clichy, Bravo,Kolarov, Sagna, Navas, Yaya, and Delph gone at the end of the season.

Probably safe to assume we won't see the big hitters, currently out on loan, in a City shirt again (Hart, Nasri, Bony, Mangala, lesser degree Denayer). Feels like we'll lose a full back from each side (Zab and Clichy). Just those 6 is a large chunk off the wage bill. Can maybe add Fernando and Willy to that list too, to swell the savings, and Nolito looks certain to head back to Spain.
Yaya is a tricky one. 8/10 months ago I think we'd have all been happy to see him depart, but after apologising and putting aside his differences he's been a decent asset for the squad. Obv he's past his best now, but with question marks over Gundogan's long term fitness, I think Yaya is worth another year. He still frustrates, sometimes slows the game down and is allergic to tracking players, but my god can he still control certain games from the middle of the park. His passing qualities and ball retention will be hard to replace.
Navas has shown that he can fill in reasonably well at right back (dependent on opposition), so can understand giving him one more year. Ditto, keeping Kolarov for next season for similar reasons (again dependent on opposition but his passing skills and range from centre half are a big plus vs teams parking the bus)
Delph feels 50/50. Thought he played well in the couple of games he started recently, but then the old problems of niggling injuries surface. His homegrown status might work in his favour and make it more 60/40 he won't be moved on.
If the above happened, and leaving out youngsters/potential new signings, it leaves us with a senior squad of...
Bravo
Sagna
Otamendi
Stones
Kompany
Kolarov
Navas
Dinho
Delph
Silva
Gundogan
KDB
Yaya
Sane
Sterling
Jesus
Aguero
Nacho
Fits with the Pep module of using a small squad. Kinda feel there might be a surprise exit or 2 on the cards, certainly brace ourselves for an eventful summer!
