it will be interesting to see how many of their 37 first team players (soon to be around 39/40 if they sign a few more balotelli etc)
come the end of the transfer window they need to get that number down to 25, if you aint registered you cant play. unless they wanna save another team just for the cup games lol. they need to include 8 english players and 4 homegrown players but i think it can be a combination of both, classed as homegrown if your under 21 and trained at the club for more than 3 years.
so lets just wait until they get desperate, i can imagine them maybe offloading quite a few on loan deals if they can't get rid in time. mancini even admitted he doesnt have a clue who is gonna go and who is gonna stay.
personally i wouldnt expect them to offload de jong at all, seems more likely to be patrick vieira dont you think?
as for ireland, hes kind of a more attacking player he's decent but he's not what we need. sayin that though if maxi goes maybe roy could see him as an option, he wouldnt be my first choice i think theres more important areas we need to strengthen
