Summer clearout - who?

Joleon Lescotts top of the League but on his way obviously
Jack Rodwell is never fit (although we may be under pressure to keep English home grown players)
Micah Richards is never fit (although we may be under pressure to keep English home grown players)
Kolorov or Clichy (think one will go not sure which each has pros and cons)
Gareth Barry sadly - off to Everton?
Di Michellis - Maybe off Not sure if were in the market for another - Mangala? Is Rekik coming back having done well at PSV

Think thats it - why would we let any of the strikers go - 150+ goals this season
In 4 comps we need 4 strikers - Jovetic will be like a new player with a full pre-season hopefully
 
Pantilimon - wants 1st team football
Lescott - contract expiring soon
Richards - contract 1 year left, always injured, Pelle don't fancy him
Barry - contract expiring soon
Rodwell - never fit, Pelle don't fancy him
Sinclair - no comment..

others will stay. it's interesting to see how Pelle & Txiki will cope with homegrown quota since we will release 5 of them.
 
I'd keep Kolarov and Clichy, unless there's a chance of getting Luke Shaw. We can't really get rid of Clichy in particular, unless we replace him with another homegrown player.
 
If you try to give our current squad marks out of 10 - something like

10 Yaya, Aguero, Silva,Kompany

9 Fernandinho, Dzeko, Zabaleta, Nasri

8 Jovetic, Hart, Navas, Negredo, Clichy, Milner, Demichelis

7 Garcia, Kolarov, Lescott, Nastasic, , Pantilimon,

6 Richards, Rodwell

5 Boyata, Wright

it not only helps answer the OP question but exhibits one's prejudices.
 
Seeng Dzeko, Kolorov and Javi Garcia a lot on everyone's list from earlier on in the season.

Would everyone still have them on their leaving list?

Absolutely not.

I'd be gutted if any of them left, they've all become valuable squad members.
 
Hahahaha just read from beginning!!!
Anyways....out would be Barry lescott Sinclair (obvious reasons).
I'd also let Richards boyata guidetti and nastasic go (fees for nastasic,Richards and guidetti)
Therefore we would have to bring in some homegrown players or promote some youth on top of the purchases of mangala Fernando and Sagna.
By the way.......I won the quad on football manager 2014 :-p
