The squad at Scott Parker’s disposal from September onwards was almost chalk and cheese to the one he inherited following his appointment in July.
A number of players expressed their desire to leave the club following relegation from the top flight, which was quickly followed by Vincent Kompany’s surprise switch to Bayern Munich.
In total, 17 players arrived during the summer window, while a further 21 departed – either permanently or on loan.
Those 21 players have experienced mixed campaigns this season, so we’ve decided to take a look at each player to see how they’ve performed since leaving Turf Moor.
Here’s the 21 in alphabetical order:

Amdouni has done relatively well in Portugal. While not a regular starter, he's featured in 35 games, which includes a number of cameos in the Champions League. He also has eight goals to his name.
