Man City Ready For Huge £87.5m January Exodus

After gathering in Abu Dhabi to discuss their January transfer plans last week, the Manchester City hierarchy have decided that they are willing to take a £50 million hit on five players bought by former manager Mark Hughes, whilst also allowing goalkeeper Shay Given to move on for the £7 million that the club originally paid Newcastle for his services in February of 2009.

City are also willing to listen to offers for strikers Emmanuel Adebayor (£25 million from Arsenal) and Roque Santa Cruz (£18 million from Blackburn), who will be made available for £12 million and £4 million respectively after failing to find their feet at Eastlands.

Out of favour pair, left-back Wayne Bridge (£12 million from Chelsea) and winger Shaun Wright-Phillips (£8.5 million from Chelsea) have both been priced up at £5 million, whilst Brazilian no-mark Jo (£17 million from CSKA Moscow) will be allowed to leave for as little as £4 million – although they’d be lucky to get that given the minimal impact he’s had at City during his two years at the club.
