The Future Of City
Paul Pogba (21) is a fantastic young prospect that would be perfect in replacing Yaya Toure at the club. The French defensive mid plays for Italian side Juventus. Pogba is also rather experienced for a 21 year old having won the Serie A twice for the two seasons he has been at the club. He also won the under 20s Fifa World Cup in 2013 receiving the golden ball for his performance in that tournament. Click HERE for some of the things you would be likely to see from Pogba. Clip 4(vs Napoli) just also shows his ability on both feet rather than just one. But clip 3 had to be my personal favorite just to flick the ball up and volley first time takes confidence and skill. Bare in mind these goals are from a CDM which in some ways makes these goals seem more spectacular from a defensive player. On the other hands being so far up the pitch leaves a hole on the pitch where Pogba should be. However Manuel Pellegrini could easily solve this by simply playing him as a CM or even CAM. Pogba's overall ability opens a world of possibilities being good at attack and defense. He's Almost a Rudd Gullit style of player in he can play any where on the field.
David Silva(28) maybe a while longer off packing in than Yaya however he is still one of the older first team players. As we know David is a fantastic dribbler and exceptional passer and Isco(22) possesses the exact same style of play. Isco is a more of a goal scorer than David but whether he's setting them up or popping them in himself he still contributes to the team. The young Spaniard is currently a Real Madrid player however with the new comers of Toni Kroos and world cup star, James Rodriguez he is likely to loose his place in the team. It has been rumored in the past that Real have been willing to let the youngster go. Liverpool at one stage where rumored to be receiving the play maker on loan but nothing became of this. Like Pogba the youngster has rather a lot of Champions League(and other European Competitions) experience and Isco in fact won the cup with Madrid last year Vs local rivals Athletico Madrid. Isco has been said to be "the most promising young player in Spanish football" and has been compared to Sergio Aguero. Even Zinedine Zidane!!!
Gael Clichy(29) and Alexander Kolarov(28) both share the left back spot for City but both players are two of the oldest in the squad and some time in the near future will need replacing. David Alaba(22) is possibly the only very young and proven left back in the world. He has played 111 games at the German side Bayern Munich having also played there his whole career. He is a very attack minded left back having got 13 goals and 15 assists in those 111 games. The young Austrian isn't shy of winning trophies either having won: 3 Bundesliga titles, the champions league, the super cup and finally he made his way into UEFA team of the year 2013. David has been named by one journalist as "Discovery of the century".
Manchester City have arguably one of the best squads in the league, however these star players wont be here forever. The club need to consider some younger alternatives to players we already have to fill the gap when a player leaves the club or retires. When players like Yaya Toure (31) decide to part ways with City or hang up the boots there will be a massive hole to fill.

Could he be the next Gullit??
