This is a list of all the Man City players who made a league appearance in the 2007/2008 Premier League season, prior to the big money takeover of Sheikh Mansour and the Abu Dhabi Group. I thought it'd be interesting to see where all of the players who are being replaced by 'big names' have ended up since the takeover.
