Which players are following Hughes out?

I don't think for one minute that Ade of Robbie will be shown the door. Mancini ties to keep the ball on the ground, which will suit Ade and he is fond of powerful, tall forwards (Zlatan, Balotelli). He was also a flair player (and a fine one at that) when he played so will probably appreciate Robbie more than Hughes did.
With Mancini favouring athletic attacking full backs (almost wingbacks) I think Bellers and SWP could be surprise casualties - tho maybe not this season.

Bellamy, Dejong, Kompany and Tevez

De Jong and Tevez are classic Mancini players that play his style of 'total football', why would they be fringe?

Classic mancini players? De Jong and tevez?

Compare "Zlatan, David Suazo, Julio Cruz and Crespo" with Tevez. Mancini strikers are either target man or a technical one.

Compare "Dejan Stankovic, Viera and Cambiasso" with De Jong. Mancini enforcers are not as Gattuso as De Jong.

My point was about his philosophy which many (including mates that live in Milan) have said suit Tevez and de Jong very well. That is, defensively-minded but still flair football. I can agree about Kompany and perhaps even Bellamy, though.

Though, do you really not think there are not any similarities between Viera, Cambiassio, and de Jong? That seems a bit of a stretch.

he's going to sign elano, and then elano will win the ballon'deour just to rub it in hughes'face

Robinho hopefully, Adebayor ditto, Lescott, Toure. Maybe we can find some decent defenders in Serie A. If not, then coach the useless basta**s that we have got how to defend. Can we get Dunne back please?

i think we'll find some top defenders coming to the club, and some of the Hughes big money signings leaving like Lescott/Bridge, theyre just not good enough and HGughes paid way over the odds, juries out on Toure for me.

We paid gazillions for these players and they're all earning stupidly huge amounts of money. The sort of money they simply won't even get close to earning at any other club. They might no longer be permanent fixtures in our first team, but I seriously doubt they'll be going anywhere any time soon.

He'll probably end up at Villa and beat us in the carling cup final now :(

Or united lol that would be worse? Hmm, IF I had to geuss where he will manage next I'd say at Hull if things get worse or maybe Westham?

Hughes is NEVER getting the United job after his performance here.

Like I said on another post, you here other managers / Hanson / Lawrenson / Linnekar all saying "give him time" and "it's a digrace" (sacking him) etc.

But in reality they were all thinking "£200m? He's doing shit, isn't he". But they can't say so, can they. Hanson and co play golf with him every now and then and all the other managers don't want the chop when they start underperforming, so they gang together with this "it takes time" lie.
