The great exodus has begun. The overrated and the overpaid have started to scatter, some complaining of the coldness of a manager who doesn't appear to appreciate their gifts. Few seem to be expressing gratitude for the munificence that has allowed them to amass millions without actually doing anything of worth. Because while Manchester City hope that Edin Dzeko will prove the most influential addition of the January transfer window, there is a pertinence to the departures at Eastlands. Wayne Bridge and Roque Santa Cruz have already gone out on loan; Emmanuel Adebayor and Shaun Wright-Phillips could follow. Were a replacement to be bought - at considerable cost, presumably - then Joleon Lescott might be allowed to join them. There is a common denominator: all are Mark Hughes' buys.
