Which players are no longer good enough?

[prof-taf]

Hart – keep
Zabaleta – sell (shame but he doesn’t look as though he has much shelf life left)
Sagna – keep
Kompany – jury out. (He needs another couple of games)
Otamendi – keep
Mangala – jury still out(but has shown promise)
Clichy – keep
Kolarov – sell
Yaya – sell
Delph – sell
Fernando – sell
Fernandinho – keep
Aguero – keep
Silva – keep
Sterling – sell
Navas – keep
De Bruyne – keep
Bony – gift wrap and deliver

Demic picked up a good bundle fromn the bookies tonight - on behalf of the team

Agree with you except sterling, needs another year and a style of play. Would add cabellero

Not sure why, but I have a funny feeling that we will see 1 or 2 surprise promotions from The Academy this summer.
It's just a hunch , but I reckon Pep will make some 'unknown' kid a superstar.
Here's hoping.

I'll put my money on aleix garcia

That is hilarious! You actually believe there will be that many changes?!

It's only 5 out. I think those who feel pep would have done better with our squad are being optimistic. We will have at least 6 changes, he will be given the tools to win the lot

 

[Plain Speaking]

I think continued speculation and uncertainty regarding player's future have played an important role in our failure to challenge for the PL this season.

 

[prof-taf]

Bony
Demichelis
Fernando
Navas
Clichy/Kolarov

Keep Toure. Play him in attacking role only.

As much as I love what toure has done for us, it's time to say cheerio

possibly but you could argue that if you were kolarov knowing pep coming and he likes wig backs you would work your arse off so he keeps you and you get to say I was coached by the best manager in the world. Sadly he was back to his don't give a shit attitude on Tuesday. So your point should work both wsys

Sorry but that is nonsense.

Is it? To reach Bayern/Barca/Real level:

GK: Hart Willy both not on that level.
Defence: Sagna Zaba Kolarov Clichy Mangala MDM
Centre Midfield: Yaya Nando Delph, in fact we have one Cm I'd actually say is good enough
Attack: Sterling Bony

Our aim is not to just be the best in the country but to be the best in Europe, be honest and tell me if any of those would get in any of the top sides in the world.

Hart would get into most of the top teams (Maybe) Sterling is still a WIP and might come good. Mangala has improved a lot but probably won't make it. All of these should be kept imo in the short term. I think there will be a lot more rotation under Pep and these guys will be valuable

Hart is a top shot stopper but he hasn't got the distribution to be a top top keeper I feel. Mangala still passes the ball away under no pressure at all, don't see how pep would like that but I'd probably keep him for another season see how he goes. Sterling "might" come good is what we all hope, I doubt he has the technical ability to play the PlayStation football pep likes to play though.

Hart would do. He is world class, am basing that on feedback, performances, international status. Why are you saying he isn't? I mean what reason?

The rest.... Not sure tbh. but I think there is more to it than being the ' best '. Look at Leicester, great team spirit etc.. If we got that right then I do think we would be one of the best in Europe.... even with our team. Also, we are in the cl semi, you don't achieve that without world class players..

But why not Hart, my god I think if it wasn't for him we would have lost some important games
