The big clearout!

Sadly I think your fees are wildly unrealistic. These players will be on huge wages (which only a few clubs could afford) ruling out most suitors and any club purchasing from us will be aware we are desperate to sell to make room within the squad. We got 12 million for Tevez and 11 for Dzeko it's unlikely we will get similar figures for some of the players you have listed.

Player transfer fees have gone up to crazy values these past couple of seasons unless you are a City player. The values I put are still reasonably low compared to some of the stupid fees quoted.
 
We don't really, we have Maffeo, Garcia, Nacho, Gunn, Denayer all able to take squad places along with Stones and Sterling, that would give us our largest squad since possibly 09/10, if Delph is kept on it'll be because he's wanted.

Do you want to see these young players in the squad or get a full season under their belts at a loan club?

For me Maffeo only likely one to be part of squad this coming season.

Well, Denayer has 3 full seasons under his belt so there's not really much point in another loan, Nacho could probably do with one, Maffeo has 2 and would get plenty of games as the second choice right back, Gunn would have cup games, no guarantee he'd get more games on loan and Garcia has shown imo that he's good enough to be in contention for a first team spot already.
So I'd keep Denayer, Gunn, Maffeo and Garcia at the club, more than enough numbers wise, with or without Clichy, Delph and Hart.

Forgot about Roberts, HG and easily good enough to take Navas or Nolitos role in the squad.
 
Players out of favour and seemingly not part of plans for next season:
Mangala - £15m
Nasri - £15m
Hart - £18m
Denayer - £5m
Bony - £12m

Players on loan with very positive resale value:
Zinchenko - £7m
P. Roberts - £10m
E. Unal - £8m

Players seemingly out of favour from present squad:
Nolito - £8m
Iheanacho - £9m
Fernando - £8m
Delph - £10m

Total value above is potentially £125m which could be raised. I have tried to be realistic with their values in order that they can be moved on.

I think we will spend £200m this summer. I am not advocating all the above players should leave. I do think we will need to buy another association trained homegrown player, otherwise Pep will have only Stones and Sterling leaving a squad of 19 players, unless he keeps Delph and iheanacho, or promotes Youth.

Why sell Roberts, Unal and Zinchenko after 1 season on loan? Roberts and Unal especially have had great seasons. Nolito and Fernando I agree are goners. I think we should sell Iheanacho too, but most definitely include a buy back clause.
 
Denayer will not be classed as homegrown but that is another issue. I think our young players from the academy only miss building up number of games and they will just not get enough next season.

You're presuming that a youth loan registration supersedes his official registration, it doesn't.

Well we will see, needless to say I hope you are correct.

I like all three players and would love to see them involved at City this coming season but will Pep? Unal and Zinchenko probably another loan move but I was just highlighting that we could sell if we wanted to find more money and buy ready made Superstars. How many more years can our Sheik keep spending, even Abromovich at Chelsea has stopped by selling loan players to help raise money.
 
We really just need 3 outstanding players.

Lefback, rightback and Keeper. Every other need is dependent on unresolved factors.
