Man City clear out

City are having a fire sale. Micah Richards (25) & Jack Rodwell (23) ? Would you take these 2?

We are looking for a DM and a CB/RB. 

There is no need for a thread on Man Shitty.  This can go into the General Rumors. And to hell with what they do to their squad.

Mods, pl do the favor

Meh - thought this was an interesting one actually....

With a reported £46 Million available to spend on Transfers before they breach FFP again and their fine becomes permanent and they get more - and indeed severe punishment they have to sell.

Looking at their squad I think there is a great opportunity for teams to almost raid City. The biggest problem we would face is the players on silly money looking for the same here. Some will mention Milner & Richards - but I bet both would want £80,000 a week and for guys who play about 15 games a season this should never happen.

Personally I would go for Rodwell - yes a former Blue, but a decent player and one that we may be able to get if we are a bit clever...

It could stay here if they agree to do a swap with us, Toure for Toure.

Teachers pet there ey. I don't see the problem in having numerous threads.
If anything, this forum needs more traffic- not limitations on what happens.

Beat me to it mate. Now that would be one smart swap.

You crack me up mate and you are welcome.

Id have Milner....think he would be very good interchanging in any of our midfield positions.

No I don't want any of City's overpaid crocked rejects. And neither does our manager! So this thread is pointless.

Kolarov please.


Thank you, sheik Zaif bin Hamad bin Abdullah al schwarma

Two, injury prone lads, who never fulfilled early 'potential' [it happens... more often than not if truth be told] hardly constitutes a 'Fire Sale'...

Have you a link to a more comprehensive shopping/price list we could look at P_G?

I think he was just picking out 2 players who he might like us to sign from City should they be available. I believe they're after getting rid of Lescott, Richards, Nastasic, Rodwell, Milner, Javi Garcia and Pantilimon. Obviously it's not a fire sale because that would mean everybody is going but 7 players is a fair amount for the team that just won the league cup and league title.

I think so too mcarz: my post was tongue-in-cheek...

Thanks for that. Personally I'd have none of the aforementioned.

I realised shortly after posting and neither would I.

Won't  City need to hang on to their English players, with that home grown rule? Or do I have that one wrong?

On Rodwell...

I think hes the type of player the gaffer would get the absolute best from

Not the only one, think it was Bigmick that said similar and I agree as well.

Presumably they'll fill their quota from the Academy mate which seems a bit daft as u21's don't need to be registered.

They had 24 in their Champions League squad last season:

GK: Hart [HG], Pantilimon, Johanssen [HG]
DF: Richards [HG], Kompany, Zabaleta, Lescott [HG], Kolarov, Clichy, Demichelis, Nastasic, Boyata [HG]
MF: Milner [HG], Nasri, Garcia, Navas, Rodwell [HG], Silva, Fernandinho, Y. Toure
ST: Negredo, Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic

Going off that they had 7 home grown players in their squad last season, didn't have anybody to be the 8th so only submitted a squad of 24. Number of appearances for each home grown player ((starts : sub apps))


Hart (7) - Johanssen (0) - Richards (3) - Lescott (3 : 1) - Boyata (0) - Milner (3 : 3) - Rodwell (1)

Seems that they didn't use their home grown players very often. Johanssen and Boyata are understandable because one was their 3rd choice keeper in the competition and the other was the 5th choice centre back. It really does look like money has gotten to the heads of those at their club. They used to bring through some decent, talented players but they barely even use the British players that they spent ridiculous amounts on never mind the odd one that came through the academy.

Every single one of those home grown players apart from Hart are reported to be leaving. They're going to fu**ed in one way or another. They'll have to replace possibly 6 to 7 of their home grown players for their 21 player Champions League squad. It's going to be nigh on impossible replacing all of them whilst also maintaining their agreement with UEFA. If they are going to rely on some of their under 21 players then I don't see them getting far in the competition.

Does Gael Clichy not qualify as home-grown or am I way off here?

City are having a fire sale. Micah Richards (25) & Jack Rodwell (23)

Two players.

Fire sale? Clear out?

Somehow yes Clichy does qualify as home grown.
Given this perceived 'clear out' however does it worry anyone else that Citeh (or more accurately the sheiks) are simply going to say up yours uefa and make silly money bids for Lallana Shaw Wiltshire Ramsey Henderson and Sterling?
