Post subject:  The Magic 25

Earlier today (because I have no life/girlfriend) I decided to work out quite who Mancini should pick as his 25. I had already had an attempt, but that was a bit shit, so here goes!

First 25:
Keepers: Given, Hart, Taylor
Defenders: Richards, Onuoha, Boateng, Kompany, Lescott, K Toure, Kolarov, Bridge, Zabaleta

Midfield: Silva, A Johnson, Barry, De Jong, Y Toure, SWP, Ireland, Vieira/Milner

Forwards: Tevez, Robinho, Adebayor, Bellamy, Santa Cruz

Senior U21s:
Defenders: Boyata, Cunningham, Vidal, Helan
Midfielders; Weiss, Ibrahim,
Strikers: Nimely, Guidetti, Balotelli (?)

Scrap Heap:
Goalkeepers: Gonzales,
Defenders: Garrido, Shaleum Logan
Midfielders: Etuhu
Strikers: Caicedo, Jo

If we sign Milner, we could just use Vieira in cup games, and for experience, and leave him out the squad. Also, tehre's no real point putting Johnson in until January, as he is unlikely to be back until Nov/Dec time.


Any suggestions?

He was there last season apparently. I'd prefer Taylor though, he knows the Premiership better.

If he comes, put Balotelli in place of Rocky and put him on the scrap heap.
The rest looks pretty damn fine!

Nah, we're a bit short on midfielders yet.

Balotelli is U21, so no need to put him in the 25.

Eitherway, the press are badly overexaggearting this situation, and there's no need to cull half the players that they've said we need to.

I noticed in the hysterical Mail article that we are going to sell 5 of our best homegrown players to meet the 25 player rule lol.

Good choice, but U21s get in free anyway, so Weiss doesn't have to be listed.

Talksport were saying that he would have to be on the 25 because he's not "home grown".
