Which players are no longer good enough?

Demichelis and Kolarov obviously. I think Zaba and Toure too, regrettably.
I'd also probably look to move on Bony and either Fernando or Delph.

As for signings, I'd make a wide attacker (ideally left-footed) and a centre midfielder top priority. Bale or Griezman, plus Gundogan. I'd also like to see us go for another striker, preferably one who could play out wide, too, at a push (Aubameyang?).

Replace Demichelis with Denayer. As for the rest, I'd ideally like to see us promote a few of the kids - Maffeo and Angelino, perhaps, plus a couple of the most highly-rated centre midfielders - Bryan? Garcia? (I don't watch them enough to make a proper judgment on who is most ready). If Guardiola doesn't think they are, then I'd hope we go out and spend a bit on a young, promising midfielder who is more developed.

New keeper as well to replace Caballero (ideally someone young who will ultimately challenge Hart).

That would give us something along the lines of:

- Hart, New Keeper
- Sagna, Clichy, Maffeo, Angelino
- Kompany, Mangala, Denayer, Otamendi
- Gundogan, Fernandinho, Silva, Nasri, Fernando/Delph (plus two others as per above)
- De Bruyne, Bale/Griezmann, Aguero, New Striker, Iheanacho, Sterling (plus possibly Navas - wouldn't really mind whether he stayed or not)

Right back might still be a concern there, as good as Sagna has been this season. I suspect Denayer would be a decent option there, though.
 
Never going to win a game when he started 4 possibly 5 of those players who are no longer good enough.

Half of those players in my OP are no longer good enough for the premier league, wankers.

about 10 players in this squad are not good enough, hopefully most of them shipped out this summer
 
Hard to tell because none of them are fit enough. Blowing out of their areas week-in-week-out, pulling up with injuries as a result of lack of fitness. Constantly outworked by our opposition because of their lack of fitness.

Also hard to tell because they aren't given a gameplan and we have no systems in place. We might see different players if they were instructed what to do by someone called a "coach".

You can't tell who's really shit or just left out to dry by a shit manager.

Unfortunately this is so true.
 
City got unbalance team.
Lack of winger and too many old players.
KDB, silva, nasri, delph and fernandinho are no winger. We depend a lot for attacking fullback to provide threat from outwide.
What make things worse, all 4 fullback will be in their 30s in the summer. Their legs are long gone.

At least 5 signings needed - 2 new fullback on both sides, gundogan, left footed winger, and new striker.
