Comings and Goings

If Kolarov goes we need cover at LB. If Kolo and Lescott go we are short of centre halves.

I would like Tevez to stay. If he doesn't then we are seriously short of forwards.

Dzeko will go - and then we need two more strikers - one could be Guidetti.

Seems to be peristent chatter about Fernandihno. We defintiely need cover for Yaya - Rodwell looks good but his fitness is so dodgy.

God knows why we got Sinclair in the first place. So a wide player who we actually play would be good too.

I'd hate to see Carlos go to be honest, I think he's been immense recently.

Where are the young players ready to step up as replacements for Kolo and possibly Lescott, Pants and Kolarov? Hughes set the club back years when he destroyed the youth system.

How did Hughes destroy the youth system?
I'm not being contrary; I'm genuinely curious.

However concerning the op, I say keep Kolarov, if he wants to stay; let both Tevez and Dzeko go, if the rumours about Cavani are true; Kolo is definitely going, but we should try to keep Lescott if possible, but I don't think he would be expensive to replace; Sinclair is merely back up for Nasri, hence he shouldn't be expensive to replace either, several EDS players come to mind x

He got Jim Cassell moved out of the set-up as part of some restructuring plan and as far as I can remember we haven't had a single acadamy player who's had a decent run in the team since.

Players like Kieran Tripper, who's just won some POTS award in the Championship were never given a chance to try and prove themselves.

Jim Cassell got shipped out to the middle east. He produced loads of prospects for next to nothing. Perhaps it wasn't Hughes that made the move. Perhaps a good stream of young talent will be coming out of the middle eastern states instead.

Dzeko, Nasri and Sinclair, all to leave and we should see a reasonable return on all three.

Would leave us a bit short if we move on both Kolo and Lescott, so I'd be tempted to hold on to Kolo. He actually looked alright earlier this season, and with the promise of cup football may be tempted to stay. Lescott on the other hand I think is still good enough to play first team football in the Prem for another club.

Kolarov I'd also hold on to if possible. We all know his floors, but decent left backs are few and far between (as us blues all know to well), so I'm not sure how easy it would be to find one who is an improvement on Kolarov but happy being number 2 to Clichy.

Tevez to stay unless a reasonable offer comes in from his homeland, would be unfair to hold on to him for another season if one did.

Signing Cavani would be fantastic, then promote Guidetti, and along with Tevez and Aguero we'd have four strong strikers in the squad.

Then I think we need to bring in a creative midfielder, to fill the role we all thought Nasri was going to.

And then a few squad players, depending on which players leave the club.

greatbean I am torn between Falco and Cavani either 1 will cost the best part of £40m or so, so maybe a player + cash bid will have to do to get either of them to the Etithad
