I'd keep Zabba around the club as long as possible. The desire is there and that can only rub off on the younger players in the squad, whether that be at training or in cup games. Desire seems to be a sadly missing attribute of a few that should remain on the list. Will certainly celebrate when Kolarov sees the door.

Which players are no longer good enough?
- Thread starter MCFC1993
- Start date
I prefer a phase out like this, as too many changes at once isn't exactly feasible or realistic:
Gone in the upcoming window:
Toure
Demichelis
Kolarov
Wright
Bony
Navas
Gone in the 2017 Summer Window:
Fernando
Sagna or Zabaleta
Caballero
-------------------------------------------------
Keep Clichy, we need his homegrown status and experience. He's also still good enough.
Delph also, need to keep those English, he's good enough as a back up.
This way we have a more staggered approach to also address the age problem of our squad, pending on those players being replaced with hopefully younger players (within say the 20-27 year old bracket).

Caballero - can be replaced for HG lad.
Demichelis - 'nuff said
Kolarov - 'nuff said
Sagna - end of contract
Yaya - 'nuff said
Bony - 'nuff said
I'm alright with Navas, Delph and Clichy staying for another season. They don't need to be sold NOW, just better players in their position.

For those that keep stating that Caballero needs to go for a HG player, who do you have in mind?
Barring in mind that the current trend at a lot of the top clubs has become to have a quality #2 keeper in the squad. I can't think of anyone that Guardiola would be accepting of and that would be happy playing second fiddle with the requisite quality.

Definitely gone - Caballero, Wright, Demichelis, Kolorov, Zabaleta, Bony, Toure, Zuculini.
On borrowed time - Sagna, Clichy, Kompany, Fernando, Sterling, Delph, Navas, Roberts.
Those staying - Hart, Mangala, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Iheanacho, Silva, Nasri, De Bruyne, Denayer
We need to bring in quality players - a fullback, defensive midfielder and two forwards.

He certainly won't be happy but I think Joe might well find himself fitting the bill next season, at least, if there is any truth in the ter Stegen rumours.

People need to realise its a squad game not an XI only.
Must leaves;
MDM
Kolarov
Zabaleta :(
Navas
Bony
The likes of Yaya, Silva and Mangala if we get decent money and reinvest for younger or in Mangala's case, better. No room for sentiment when these guys earn a collective 600k pw and would boost our coffers to the region of 50m or a bit more. Love Silva, but for me he needs a slower tempo league, ideal for Juve or Real
