Since you're (probably) referring to my post I'll answer this.

2 of those 8 players are keepers who the club wanted to demote by buying Begovic. Keepers are much easier to replace.

Youngsters who aren't real members of the squad* are included in those 25 player so losing any of them will make ZERO difference in the squad dynamics.

So we're left with 4-5 players that any club of our size can replace without breaking a sweat.

..and even if 8 was the real number everyone knew that the squad that won the league last year with 11 players approaching or being >30 needed a big revamping.

No reality check needed, Fulham Broadway opened a poll because he wanted opinions.

_{*Just how many starts do Kakuta,Van Aanholt, Bruma and Borini have between them? Exactly}.

i WASNT referring to you ...you must be getting paranoid ...in reply to your post ,,,do the maths properly

[Kostas 1,468]

,do the maths properly

lol

Good comeback :dude:

[TIWATZ 64]

Roman will not invest and probably sell this summer and while that is taking place Manchester City will keep going bananas and getting away with it. Here's why:

"How only Man City can beat that financial fair play rules:

The FFP rules stop an individual or sovereign fund subsidising wages/transfers. However, there are no restrictions on commercial investments/sponsorships as long as they are not considered to be subsidies in disguise.

Here is the kicker - take as an example a Middle Eastern company that has a connection to Sheik Manasour - they can, say, pay £200m a year for the naming rights for Man City stadium. Then another Middle eastern group can pay £100m for the kit. £50m for in ground advertising etc etc. It wouldn't be commercially sensible but UEFA can do bugger all about it because as far as the investors are concerned it is good commercial value. And who is to argue it is not?

So City can generate millions upon millions in "sponsorships" that bear no relation to commercial logic and get away with it.

We (nor Man U), on the other hand, cannot do that. RA does not have that network of companies wanting to waste money in that way."

10 Yossi Benayoun Out ( I never rated him in the first place good player at best, we need better !)

11 Didier Drogba IN

12 Mikel IN

15 Florent Malouda IN

17 Jose Bosingwa IN ( God knows why people want the best attacking right back in the free world to leave)

18 Yury Zhirkov IN ( I also do not understand people wanting yuri out, he is one of the last ones we have left with genuine game changing pace)

19 Paulo Ferreira OUT ( He is the modern day Winston Borgarde, his accountant must be very proud indeed.

21 Salomon Kalou OUT ( He is a complete waste of a match day ticket, Jesper looked consistent compared to this clown)

22 Ross Turnbull OUT ( He has the carlo movie star eye bro)

23 Daniel Sturridge IN ( Future England centre forward, fantastic knack of finding the back of the net in the penalty box, also not scared to get into the penatly box.

26 John Terry IN (Best centre half i have seen at this club)

33 Alex IN ( Monster munch)

38 Patrick van Aanholt IN ( Future left back for Holland)

39 Nicolas Anelka OUT ( Scared of getting in the box despite being the coolest finisher since Henry/Nistelrooy, its such a shame as well)

40 Henrique Hilario OUT ( This guy was on the Chelsea fc benefits system with Borgarde/Paulo, he has been on the dole ever since.

43 Jeffrey Bruma IN ( Promising young centre back, brilliant passer one for the future and he occupies a position we need in the national team)

44 Gael Kakuta IN ( Needs games and he will flourish, he will go on loan and he will become a much better player for it !

45 Fabio Borini OUT ( I feel sorry for him Sturridge has took his place)

46 Josh McEachran IN ( Only 17 years old, he plays the game like he is already a seasoned pro, will struggle to get into the England team in future though jack Wilshire is on a different level.

*i want him to stay but i think he will leave.

[eldo 868]

gotcha!!!

Before i read this i was asking myself what is wrong with you.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Why keep Kakuta over Benayoun? Benayoun's scored more goals

[Porspa 3]

We are so thin right now we cannot Even shed Ferreira!!!

Who will take in Ferreira? Really who?

[Tomo 21,681]

OUT

Ferriera (great servent but time to move on)

Hilario (not half as bad as people like to make out but time to move on)

Bosingwa (never rated him tbh not a great defender and cant cross for shit)

Also last season City and Madrid were prepared to offer 20m for Drogs and 30m for Cole respectively if they get anywhere near that price again we should bite our hands off and use that money to invest in youth.

IN

Delac (if he cant get a work permit a short term deal for Myhill)

Srna (free agent in the summer, why not?)

Suarez (mid 20's goal poacher, just what we need)

Lukaku (loan him back to Anderlect)

Luiz (if he dont come this month)

Neymar (future star)

a cheeky bid for a versitale CM

Jack Cork and Micheal Mancienne (loan return, decent squad players)

[CFCLukey6664 0]

Personally i think Malouda,Mikel,Ferrera out and Alexsis Sanchez Javier Pastore and Van der Wiel In Wat do you guys think.

[zolayes 14,489]

prefer to wait till this season is over,,,so much still to play for

[Krypt 241]

Too early to tell so i agree with zolayes we need to wait till the end of the season and evaluate what players we need and who we dont. also alot of transfers depends on circumstances , as who say man utd or man city wont get some of these players?

[chillerz 19]

out

bosingwa = 8 mil

fereira = free

malouda = 8 mil

anelka = 6 mil

In

srna =free

alexi sanchez/hazard

neymar/lukaku

[Styles 9,790]

It depends on who leaves. I think Ferreira is a goner for sure in the summer, possibly one of Anelka or Kalou will be leaving too.

All the foreign spots in the squad are taken. So the club have to be smart. We have 3 players capable of playing right-back, Ivanovic and Bosingwa have signed new deals so it makes perfect sense to let Ferreira go and use his place in the squad for a midfielder/attacker.
