I expect fair few leaving. My predictions are Dunne, Garrido, Benjani and possibly one player we end up missing (Petrov or Zabaleta).

I seriously hope your wrong with both of them NQDP. I'd be gutted if either of them left us. As for Dunne, i think he doesn't want to be a backup player, i can see him moving on before the end of the window.

I'd be gutted to lose either of them as well mate. I just got a feeling neither of them are looking to play second fiddle. Zabaleta especially would be huge loss.
Regarding Dunne, I agree. I doubt he'd want to stay as a back up at this stage of his career and it's anyway questionable whether he should be there before Nedum anyway. There'd be big chance he'd end up looking games at the stands. I'd rather see him move elsewhere and get and ending to his career he deserves. Would be one of the first names on the team sheet in Everton or Villa and he'd still be playoing in competitive side.

I'd love Dunnie to stay, but if he did decide that he needed first team football he would go with my blessing and I'd be the first to applaud him when he turned up for anouther team - Would be brilliant if he stayed for his Testimonial though.
Cant see Zabba going anywere though (or maybe thats hope!), firstly he'd be my first choice at RB and can only think that its his fitness or something keeping him on the bench (although Michah is pushing the envelope on that one!) but as he isnt first choice he's so important as cover - Love Neddy but he's not a RB!

I understand your reasoning about Zabba, but I just can't see Hughes wanting to sell him. According to Guilem Balague "Sparky" spent nearly a year scouting Zabba when he was manager at Blackburn, which explains why he was pretty much the first signing he made. Also a utility player as well.... can't see him leaving.
If there is a surprise one leaving I think it might be De Jong. I've read gossip in the past few months that De Jong is unhappy with the move to England and is deperate to go back to Germany. It might be speculation of course, but part of me would not be surprised to read De Jong is sold to Bayern Munich (where Van Gaal is now manager)....

Surprised to hear that. His English seems to be perfect and he seems laid back in intervews. Lifestyle isn't all that different to Netherlands and Germany either. But you never know, Barry Ferguson was homesick in Blackburn and David Unsworth's missus in Birmingham!

Uh oh!! We need De Jong truly. This is one of the problems of having a bigger squad of class players. Gareth Barry's arrival has squeezed out Kompany and De Jong. Barry is fantastic end to ender and we are a so much better team with him, but he hasn't got the grit and scaryness of De Jong. We need Nigel for those times when we just need to close down the opposition's midfield. I've noticed that without him, we've been giving teams too much space in attacking midfield later on in games.

I think dutch players, especially coming from the ajax system, are very tempermental. If he's thinking that his playing time is getting significantly affected by something I think he'll become disallusioned pretty quickly. And, as we've seen, he has only just played in the last match making a 20m sub appearance, if that. So i'm sure he's not happy. All that being said, I want him to stay because i think he is a great midfield destroyer. Hard in the tackle and can run all day.
