Think Joe Cole is a cert. Wouldn't rule out Shawcross

the guy who only kept given in the squad made me laugh!
I think we need a new right back, possibly a new striker as tevez + Adebayor doesnt work and a creative mid, although id hate to give up on Ireland completely...
sensibly, Id predict
Modric - amazing vision, knows the premier league, a mean shot and has speed like sonic
Maicon - experienced, worked with Mancini before, knows the champions league
Defoe - Proven goalscorer, not spectacular, not foreign but does the job. He's not too similar in his playing to Tevez too so they could work together

I would bet on Javi Martinez from Atletico Bilbao, a Steven Gerard type of player. Much younger and a star of the future. I would be surprised if he doesn't land at City.
Maicon would be my second bet.
A central goal scorer would be my third bet, maybe Balotelli.

Out:
Robinho £20Million?
Viera FREE
Sylvinho FREE
Garrido £1Million
Etuhu £500K?
Jo £5Million
Benjani FREE
Bojinov £4-5Million
Caicedo £4Million
Onuoha £6Million - He's too good of a player to be sat on the bench every game, I'm sure someone like Fulham or Everton would be more than happy to have him.
In:
[Portsmouth] Kevin Prince-Boateng £4Million - Just hear me out. We don't want someone like Felliani, because; 1. Everton would take us to the cleaners as they did with Lescott, 2. We need someone who's had premier league experience 3. No doubt he'd come to us and 4. We need someone who's willing to fill in the gap until Johnno is fit.
[Fulham] Dempsey £8Million - He'd be a fantastic impact player for us, Fulham's best player easily.
[Chelsea] Anelka £7Million - Him himself has said that he loved his time here, as did we...we've missed him.
[Inter] Chivu £14Million - As good as Bridge is, Chivu is one of the worlds best and he's great at free-kicks also.

If 4th Place is achieved. Summer plan
Dzeko
Adebayor
Bellamy Tevez Angel Di Maria
Johnson Zarate SWP
NDJ Hamsik
Fellani Barry
Bridge Kompany Lescott J Boeteng
Toure Boyata Richards Zabletta
Given
Hart
This is assuming we need a squad to cover 4 competitions
In :- Edin Dzeko(end product + easily tough enough for EPL)
Zarate (cover for tevez position)
Angel Di Maria (gives us world class rightside speed)
Fellani (DF cover in mid)
Hamsik (would add class to link up play and could join attacking moves up whilst NDJ holds)
J Boeteng (skilled replacement RB).
Out :- Jo, Bojinov, Nedum, Robi, Taylor, Vieira, sylvinho, Weiss, Garrido, Petrov, Benjani any other dross.
Recall :- Hart
Try to keep whole squad happy by rotating based on form and rest crucial players (Tevez, Bellamy) during domestic cup runs.
Would need alot of money invested to achieve, probably more than was spent last year. By keeping the core players from this year it adds a bit of continuity to the team building, the risks are that Barry, Adebayor, k Toure and to a lesser extent SWP would not be happy with dropping down the pecking order.

Javi Martinez - controls the game and still young
Maicon - Best right back in the world and very much attainable
Higuian(sp) - Going to be one of the best in few years. Must get if we can
Angel Di maria - Better option than ribery and can play on either wing.
Another top CB - Many options for this position and probably the most crucial to get right.
Philip Lahm - I'm not sure how happy he is playin LB but if he is he's one of the best on his day

Hugo Lloris
Emmanuel Eboué
Simon Kjaer
Leighton Baines
Arda Turan
----------Lloris----------
-Eboué-Kjaer-Lescott-Baines-
-----De Jong---Kompany----
Turan------Tevez-----Bellamy
-----------Adebayor--------
Whether we get into the top four or not, that's a side I would be very happy with come next season.
