Summer exits...

[Deleted member 14625]

why do we only need 1 winger? There's 2 sides to a pitch you know...

Munain
Lavezzi
Hazard
Bale
Gaitán

are all quick, quality players who can play wide.

OUT: Kolo £5m, Savic (loan), Kolarov £8m, De Jong £12m, Tevez £15m, Adebayor £8m, Bridge, Cunningham £1m, Hargreaves, Michael Johnson, RSC £1m, Adam Johnson £15m
TOTAL = £65m

IN: Mats Hummels £22m, Javi Martinez £22m, Bale £36m
TOTAL = £80m

The £15m spend might be a bit optimistic with the FFPL rules but they're all young players and won't lose value. If we bring back the likes of Boyata, Rekik, Razak, Abu, Weiss, Nimley and Guidetti to boost the numbers in the squad.

I would get Hazard for £30 million. We do however need 2 wingers but we should get Hoilett for free as his contact is running out in the summer. We could sell Tevez for £20 million and RSC would fetch £2/3 million as his form is good. That would mean we would make a loss of only £5 mil or so.

Roque, Adebayor, Bridge, Weiss, Boyata, Tevez, Dzeko, De Jong, Adam Johnson, Michael Johnson, Pizarro, Hargreaves.

Plenty of room in the wage bill - must be a million a week.

Gonna be busy

Shouldn't Kolarov and Savic be on that list?

I think we'll let Bridge, Tevez, Adebayor, Santa Cruz, Taylor, Hargreaves, Pizarro, and a few youngsters go, assuming we can find buyers.

People who talk of letting Milner, de Jong, Kolo Toure, Savic, Dzeko, Kolarov, Adam Johnson and Balotelli go are living in a Championship Manager world. One or two of them may leave, but there's no way that many senior pros are leaving the club. You simply don't get that turnaround of players over one transfer window, certainly not with FFPR lurking around the corner.

The turnover has to be limited within the core first team squad and there has to be a balance between stability and developing team work. I don't think we are yet at the stage where a couple of top class additions is enough, though, and we still have too many fringe players. However, the core squad is not quite big enough in my opinion so it's going to be a challenging summer for those responsible for City's transfer activity.

if it's busy as we think hopefully it'll start early. Lot of our dealing seem to be last minute dealings, though I don't blame other clubs for it, especially if it's taking for our scrap heap at a lower price on 31 August.

For all those selling Tevez

what happened to let him "rot in the reserves" - there he is playing in the reserves assisting and scoring goals, and you lot are trying to flog him.

Tevez to stay in some capacity for me, for another 3 seasons, so he can sell some shirts.
