I've given everyone 8 choices, too many? Well feel free not to use them all, but I saw the story where Pep wants rid of 8 players and I figure if it's good enough for the lies the media print about knowing his plans, it's good enough for us.

BTW, anyone picks De Bruyne and I'll fucking kill you, kill you dead. I will fuck your still twitching corpse and then take your mom out for a lovely steak dinner and then never call her again. (cept you bro, cause that would be weird...still, don't pick him, okay?)

Interesting now I see the results. I kept it to 6, but I was thinking Silva might be a surprise one to go as well. Weirdly, I kept Bony as I think we need 4 strikers, so unless we're going to sell 1 and bring 2 in, it might just be worth keeping the league's top scorer of 2 years ago. Who knows, it's not my money ;-)

I think we're going to play 4-3-3 which means we have Sterling, Nasri and De Bruyne to step into the forward roles if need be, also we're linked with Sane and Morata, so that would be more than enough.

From what i can gather when at Barca that was the main stay but he also used 3-4-3 on quite a few occasions & then at Bayern he used as many as 9 different formations depending on who they played whether in league or CL specifically targeting the oppo's weaknesses. The players were well drilled in all formations rather than it being made up on the day....

Quite a few of those were playing 3 across the back (like Pellegrini tried and failed at).

When did Pellegrini try 3 at the back? Are you mixing him up with Mancini?

Wow was it that long ago? I stand corrected

Yeah, against Ajax if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there some trouble with Mancini and Micah over it?

Kolarov - he hardly played in the second half of last season and when he did he clearly didn't give a shit. Clichy had a good season so we should be looking to get someone in to challenge Clichy, and succeed him - either a youth player or buy a youngster.

Zabaleta - very sad to say this but he looks so far off the pace now. Sagna is clearly the better right back so we need someone younger to act as a number 2 to Sagna.

Otamendi - a truly abysmal defender. Get rid, any price, any way. But just get rid.

Yaya - I think his time is up with us. Will always have the fond memories but he doesn't have the legs to drive us on anymore.

Bony - out of his depth with us unfortunately. But I think we can get decent money for him from another Prem club.

If he gets rid of a goalkeeper, it'll be Hart not Caballero. He won't bring in a number 2 but a number 1.

Hart has stated no matter who he brings in, he wants to stay and fight for his place in the side.

Interesting only three of us think Silva will go. I also wouldn't be totally shocked if Kun was replaced, surprised and disappointed, but not shocked

Interesting. May well be a serious decision for Guardiola to make first up.

I wouldn't be shocked, either. But that'd be some statement to make before he's even got his feet under the table.

Pep has got previous for that, so no one I guess is truly safe

That's why I think Hart will be fucked off straight away no questions.

I think if Everton are really making a £40M bid for him it's certainly got to be taken seriously. But I think the media's source on this one is a bottle of HP.

Hart's distribution hasn't been good enough, but the rest of his game is fine. Can he improve with the ball, probably not, but on the grounds we can't replace an entire team, I'm not sure he'll be in the first wave of changes

I was there last season. They can all fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

Otamendi nowhere near what Pep wants fm a CB.
rest of selection go without saying

went for the main ones who everyone thinks should go,
