Surplus players....

[alera]

Looking at our squad, assuming we sign Milner, Balotelli and possibly another centre forward we would have 10 over 21 players surplus in our squad that we cannot allocate a squad number before Jan 2011

So who do we think will be leaving ?

I think, Will be Sold :

Jo
RSC
Garrido (looks like hes on his way to Lazio)
Robinho
Caicedo
Kelvin Etuhu (Over 21, not good enough)
Shaleum Logan (Over 21, not good enough)
Nedum (Wants to leave, problem with Mancini we have loads of defensive cover right back and centre half)

Loans :

M Johnson (Wont be fit till the end of the year hasnt played for 2 seasons)
David Gonzales (Over 21 - we already have 3 experienced keepers in the squad)

If we dont sign another centre forward RSC would probably be retained or If Robinho was willing to come back and make an effort (very very unlikely)

I agree with all the players on your list!

Im gald you didnt put Patric Veriera there, because he is very important for the younger players and now when fit he will contribute on the pitch too

Richards - not good enough on the ball for Mancini

 

[TonyM]

My 25 are...

Gks: Given Hart Taylor
DFs: Luiz, Kolo, Lescott, Boateng, Kolarov, Richards, Bridge, Zabaletta
MFs: Yaya, Viera, Kompany, DeJong, Barry, Ireland, Milner
FWs: Silva, Tevez, Johnson, Bellamy, Adebayor, Dzeko, Caicedo

Assuming Balotelli isn't counted due to age.

So I'd sign Luiz, Milner, Dzeko, Balotelli and another couple of very promising kids (preferably English - which is a farce because these kids are better off in the championship playing rather than our reserves - stooopid foookin rooolz)

EDIT: I completely forgot about SWP. If I had to pick a player to leave out of the squad above it would be Ndj or Caicedo. I think I'd let Ndj go because we have Kompany in his place and a few young cms coming through like Ibrahim, Tutte and Kay but also because I have some faith in Caicedo. He's a big monster and we don't have anyone like that in the squad or in the academy. Coach him right and I hhink he'll be a very useful squad member. So bye bye Nigel. :-(

Or off it.

Unfortunately I am not sure Mancini agrees.

Disagree, he has pace, an o.k touch and alot of potential. Mancini will sort Micah's head out and we will have Sven's Richards back. He also got us a handfull of goals last season.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 29, 2010 11:20 am --<br /><br />

Agree with them all, but i might add Bellamy if we can get £5million, and sell S.W.P if we can get an offer

Kolo Toure, Garrido, Vieira, RSC, Onuaha, Etuhu, Logan, Caceido, Jo, Gonzalez, Robinho all surplus to requirements for me.

Vieira are on of few in our midfield who can pass the fooking ball forward. hes not surplus for requirements and as model in the dressing room for everyone is worth alot He will come good when the season starts, great backup to Yaya.

Kolo toure is selfwritten i think he good, and needs to be in our team!

The rest i agree with. i'd put Irelnd there too, he has been a disaster, noway he can force silva out with displays like that yesterday

I wouldn't sell Jo. I'd loan him out somewhere as, after recent showings, I reckon there's a chance of him coming good.

Great goal against Red Bulls. I think he is knuckling down know he has realised we are going to be a force... It is either help city become a force or play for Real Sociacrap or where ever. After his preseason i would have him instead of RSC as a back up... If we sell belamy as well
