Getting rid of Yaya is a bit different to getting rid of Rooney, and he was heavily criticised for doing it to Schweinsteiger. Guardiola is doing the right thing though.
Blackett only got an opportunity in the first team because he was left footed. Keane (sold by LVG) and Thorpe (Captain of the U21s sold by LVG) were both miles ahead of him. He couldn't even get on the Celtic bench. Everyone sold so far i.e. Love, McNair, Blackett, Fletcher aren't good enough to break into the first team and those that might eventually be are on loan to actually play.
Mourinho truly revolutionised the game bringing the loan system in. The journalist that reported these players were leaving has already backtracked on Fosu-Mensah anyway saying his future at the club is secure, so he's obviously took all the players that aren't in the 23 man squad for the trip to Sweden and assumed that they're all leaving. .
We did used to send players to Royal Antwerp, so at least it would be a step up. I wonder which journalist will ask what his new nickname will be. Guarantee it will be the first question.
