I'd love a clear out of players

But we can't afford it. Mancini has spent a pretty penny for what?

Savic - woefully not good enough
Clichy - not top notch
Kolarov - ha ha ha ha
AJ - Simply not good enough
Balotelli - good for pens and pissing off his team mates
Nasri - only good when the team are on top, otherwise too slow and lazy

I'd have loved for Mancini to have played some youngsters this season

Savic - sorry, but although young, looks a disaster waiting to happen every time the ball comes near him.

Clichy - i'd stick with him, defends well, has pace, just needs to improve his crossing.

Kolorov - never a LB, never...but maybe a utility LM sub when needed.

AJ - always rated him, but i think Mancini doesn't and that has shown in his performances - can see a swap with Chelsea for Sturridge in the summer - maybe?

Balotelli - the apple of Mancini's eye - will stay whilst Mancini is there.

Nasri - awful. simple as that.

As for the young players - they must surely get a chance as some stage next season - Roman, Suarez, Huwala, Rusnak....etc

"Balotelli - the apple of Mancini's eye - will stay whilst Mancini is there".

Right Mr Khaldoon, take note of blueboys post......2 birds with one stone eh (if we don't win the PL).

AJ, Nasri. Not good enough....out.

Savic is struggling, but i'd send him out on loan for a season.

Clichy. Agreed, needs to improve his crossing but stays imo.

Kolarov. Utility player. Stays

Pizzaro. From what we've seen.....not good enough. Out!

Dzeko. Use him (or Balotelli) in a swap with RVP.

pizzaro is only a loan till the end of season so he will go back to Roma. balotelli could well be on his way back to Italy to AC milan. I would use tevez as a swap for Higuain as it is obvios he will go at the end of season. RVP i am not sure about. Yes he has had a fantastic season so far but is renowned to be injury prone and seems to have been around for ages yet only shines this year at the age of 29.Aj is my dilemma as i love seeing wingers in a city side, but mancini doesn't he got rid of swp, Bellamy and as you say i can see aj next. At least when Aj plays we have a bit of width.

I'd have to disagree about Nasri, started well, but like many in Mancini's "rotatioan policy" has suffered.
Why would we clear him out when he will only improve, and has shown signs of improvement? and as we spent £24m on him, would we get that back?
Give him another year, same for AJ, who has won us games this season, and is a good impact player.

It's all a bit knee jerk on here, if we continue in our current slump, handing the title to UTD on a plate, and none of our flair players step up, then yes, questions should be asked, but give them a chance at the business end of the season at least! we're 1 point behind UTD, 10 games to go, if Tevez has a galvanising impact (like many of us hopes he will) on the team, and we go on another run like after our last "little crisis" or the end of last season, then we could surprise many, but let's put the knives away for a while atleast eh?

I think that Dzeko needs to play more often and he will come good.
On last nights performance Johnson needs to go he is not cutting it.
Nasri should get his finger out,he is not cutting it either,
Savic is a disaster
