Players who will leave.

[Dubciteh]

Barry and Lescott a given

Wright will stay as the other keepers like him and he's no threat but fills in the criteria

Garcia May go back to Benfica if we get Fernando from Porto

Richards is done to The dippers as a make weight in the Suarez to City deal. Rumour but believe it's done.

Also heard that Cleverly is off to arsenal!!! HAHAHA

Dont be silly this isnt bluemoon where people actually believe your bollocks.

[Goaters 103]

Kolarov, Dzeko, Nasri and Milner need their contracts renewing. Personally Id keep em all but odds are 1 may go - prob Kolarov if I were to make a guess.

Rodwell will stay as he's a quota player for the homegrown bollocks. Jack Rodwell 1 Steven Gerrard 0 by the way in the Prem Lge Winners medal table. Arf.

Richards, Lescott, Pantilimon, Barry & Sinclair will all go

[Benjay]

I don't want him to go but if a good offer came in for Negrado, especially from Spain, then its not impossible he would go. Atletico have been linked with him

[MilnersJaw]

Couldn't they just sell and shove someone from the reserves in then for the quota. Has to be cheaper than paying this sick note

[Dwaring]

Really hope kolarov doesn't leave. I don't understand why it seems like a done deal he's gone. He's been first choice this entire run in.

I think that's right but expect Kolarov to stay. Expect Rodwell to stay especially as the chairman spoke well of him in last years end of season video; he needs to stay fit and some of Manuel's special pep-talks.

Any other outs would only be if some special deal came up IMO

[AG7]

If a left back is leaving it should be Clichy and not Kolarov ...

Bring in Mangala for Lescott ... actually Mangala will take Demi's place and Demi demoted to Lescott's place and Lescott moves out ...

On the right back ... move Richards on and sign Bacry Sagna on a free as his contact is up at Arsenal ...

So we will have a decent back four ...
Zaba - Komps - Mangala - Kola

And reserves for them ...
Sagna - Demi - Nastasic - Clichy [or replacement]

Lescott leaves this group automatically, end of contract.

In front if them we have the two first choice ...
Yaya - Ferdy

Backups are Garcia and Rodwell ... Fernando is coming here along with Mangala if press is to be believed ... so Rodwell possibly could move out (except if FFP and home grown quota comes in then it might be Garcia, but I'd it rather be the sick-note)

Barry goes out of this position automatically, end of contract.

Wouldn't shuffle too much up front ... If all are happy to stay keep Navas - Nasri - Milner and Silva as two of them will always play ... sort out longer term contracts whoever is entering their last two years.

And same for the frontmen ... Aguero - Dzeko - Negredo - Jovetic

So as per all the above ... Out automatically at the end of their contracts are Lescott and Barry.

Possibly shifted out are Richards (last year of contract anyway plus all the injuries, this'll be a cheap transfer), one of Clichy or Kolarov (if someone's lined up), and one of Rodwell or Garcia ...

In: Mangala, Fernando and Sagna

Last but not least ... Panti will probably leave, and if he does, we need a second goal keeper who will always challenge Hart. Panti was a decent enough cover for Hart but never really challenged him for the spot which inevitably let some complacency creep into Hart's performances ...

I think we will conclude all this business (and whatever others lined up) in the first two weeks of June, before the WorldCup and all and then sit back and watch others scramble over this and that all summer. Our squad when re-gathers after the WorldCup / holidays will be complete and all set to get a good pre-season in before the next season ... don't think we'll see us scrambling for deadline day signings, exactly like last year.

We're allowed a maximum 17 non-association grown players as things stand ( this may change depending on UEFA sanctions ).

If I've counted correctly you've named 18 above and that's without including Pantillimon, so that's 19. Two will have to go and be replaced with association grown players.

[nottsblue]

Pants
Richards
Sinclair on loan as surely no fucker will actually buy him
Barry
Rodwell on loan, to give him a bit if exposure so we can hopefully sell him next year unless some idiot offers to buy him this summer
Lescott
Garcia as a makeweight in deal for Fernando
Guidetti to go on loan again, probably to a Dutch club in the hope they buy him

[ross.mcfc]

I've changed my mind on Richards, if he is in his last year of his contract then I would keep him in the hope that he stays fit and see's this as his last chance to prove he belongs at the top table. He is home grown and can cover at RB and CB. I would still bring Sagna in if it is on a free. I'd like to see Zabba play less next season as he is key for us in the big games. We won the league with injuries to Aguero, Kompany, Silva and Toure but I don't think we would have won it if Zabba had picked up an injury that kept him out for a month or two.

I would hate us to let Richards go on the cheap only for him to start showing the form he showed 3/4 years ago. I certainly would not be doing a deal with Liverpool or any other side that can challenge us. We sold NDJ for peanuts because he was going into the last year of his deal and missed him badly when he went.

[Saul Goodman]

I hope Milner doesn't leave. And I don't see why he would. He's not gonna start more for Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, United, or Everton. Why would he go back to Newcastle and be stuck in the middle of the table or worse? Makes no sense.

Especially as he is likely to play more in CL this season.

Speaking of NDJ he's just scored a free kick for AC. when did he become a free kick specialist or are Madrid just that poor

Madrid.

Weirdo.

[Lees Alter Ego]

Madrid. Weirdo.

haha not sure why I put that. Obv meant ac. Anyway he took a freekick in front of kaka. That's even more weird

Dead rubber. No one cares. Jesus told kaka to let him maybe?

your a funny guy

[AG7]

What's with all this Milner news picking up today?

Apparently he told City a month ago he wants out?

Is refusing to sign a new contract and if City doesn't sell this summer, will stay an year and go for free next year.

Arsenal have already bid £10m for him?

Liverpool are also interested.

Tottenham and Everton are also keen AND have made enquires already?

Probably all bull but way too many stories all over Twitter and almost all tomorrow's papers ... started with the jokers in Sunday Supplement this morning ...

[MilnersJaw]

Didn't Milner commit himself to the club only a couple of months ago.

Took a wicked deflection. Gifted a goal
