IMO Sinclair a definite out either on loan or for a small fee if we can get one.
Richards is more than likely to go because a) Didn't sign the contract offered to him and b) Sagna signed. Of course he could still opt to stay and see out the remaining year, I wouldn't have a problem with that as one of the very few long time servants of the club (12 years - I believe) and would again provide cover for the right back and centre back but he must know that his playing for the club will be very limited.
Rodwell I believe it is more likely he will stay and be given another year to see if he is fit enough to get through the games without injury. For the club a risk, but given the cover signed in midfield with Fernando that risk is not too great. However if the press are anything to go by there appear to be a number of clubs interested in him and depending on any future acquisitions he could be sold to provide an income.
Milner, all down to the player. As alluded in another thread, he has an extension of his contract there to be signed, he hasn't signed it because he wants assurances over playing time. I also see he has been told to think about it on holiday and I have no doubt Pellegrini will want a word with him when he returns. Further the club because of the limit on homegrown / association trained players may want him also to see out his contract, strikes me as a level headed player who if told to stay would not kick up a fuss and still give 100% on the field.
Yaya, I believe he will be told he is going nowhere this year unless a suitable buyer comes in and matches our valuation. I also suspect that we won't sell to a club in this country either. Whether he will accept that and still give 100% only time will tell.
Negredo, I think that the club will only sell if we receive our evaluation on him. No doubt he will perform 100% if told he is going nowhere.
Garcia I believe he will be sold irrespective of the role he played last year and has given no indication he wants to leave. With the Fernando signing I cannot see beyond domestic cup games when he will play. Of course we cannot force a player out of the door but we can determine which players are included in the 17 foreign and 16 foreign players allocations for the squad rules. If he wants to be excluded from playing in prem league and CL and be content with cup appearances so be it.
De Michelis - I believe no way will he be allowed to leave this year, grown into the role but I do suspect he might be the one to miss out on CL foreign players squad enabling rotation on Kompany and Mangala to take place in prem league games.
Nastisic - He qualifies (i think) as under 21 for both prem league rules and CL rules so selling him as a "foreigner" will not allow us to give his spot another foreign player in fact it would only compound the problem. Unique position for him this year next year may be different.
Maybe because of all the above uncertainties and the money we have spent in the transfer window it is not surprising that signing a Vidal or Barkley are unlikely this year.
Finally we don't know how many players Pelligrini wants in his squad, last year he insisted on two for every position. If that is the case The one from the above most at risk IMO would be Garcia.
