Is 8 signings too many? I reckon 6 first team players will come in, max.

We have 11 either out of contract or, already out on loan and unlikely to return, so 2 or 3 more wouldn't be that surprising, Delph, Fernando and Nolito would take us to 14.For all those people claiming we are getting shut of up to 12-14 people,remember what Pep said ... "no chance, in one window" !!

Nothing against your post in particular but it is an example of a lot of posts on this thread. You have 7 overseas players coming in and only 6 current overseas CL squad players leaving. (Navas, Sagna, Zab, Fernando, Nolito & Bravo.) We currently have one excess overseas CL player in Gundogan excluding all those on loan. So we need to lose at least one more overseas player than we bring in excluding those already on loan. Personally I think talk of 7-8 incoming players unless some are youngsters for loaning or not using in the CL s fanciful.My summer prediction:
Hart - £20m
Nasri - £15m
Bony - £15m
Mangala - £15m
Bravo - £10m
Nolito - £10m
Fernando - £8
Zabaleta - Free
Sagna - Free
Clichy - Free
Navas - free
OUT = £93million
IN:
Fabinho - £35m
Henrichs - £17m
Sessesgon - £10m
Mendy - £25m
Ederson - £40m
Rudiger - £30m
Dahoud - £10m
Isco - £25m
Roberts - return
Denayer - return
TOTAL - £212m
NET: £119m
From everything I have heard so far, on this thread and elsewhere, this would be my best estimate. I think Pep wants to trim his squad, add a few versatile players to replace the outgoing (not so) specialists. Reckon Dahoud and Alexis will go to Dortmund and Juve respectively, I don't see Bonucci leaving Juve any time soon either really. Rose would be too expensive and £30m for Grimaldo would be a big risk for someone with only 10 top flight appearances (in Portugal I might add). In addition, Sead Kolasinac doesn't seem keen - plus I don't think he's all that personally, seems like a younger Kolarov.

Ederson Moraes £25m
