2017/18 Champions League squad announced

[Ric]

No real surprises in there, given our relatively small squad:

Goalkeepers
Claudio Bravo, Ederson, Aro Muric

Defenders
Danilo, Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala, Benjamin Mendy, Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones, Kyle Walker

Midfielders
Fabian Delph, Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Yaya Toure

Forwards
Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus

I bet Muric is glad we didn't sign Sanchez, now he can be the 17th foreign player.

RIP Zinchenko's City career.

RIP Zinchenko's City career.

Won't he be on the U21 list, along with the likes of Foden, Tosin etc?

I know it's already been said, but when you look at our squad written down like that, it does look thin.

Great squad that. From those 17 foreign players 2 are unlikely to play (muric and manga). Delph is another who is unlikely so for the rest it's a very compact but incredibly competitive list. Your not holding down a place in that team unless you're on fire! The only weakness I see is full backs and the lack of cover. Only 2 strikers doesn't bother me. A third would never play!

Packed with starting 11s though....if you get my tired grammar

A striker light :( but good looking squad.

So how come it's not mentioned anywhere - Sky have details of Utds, Chelseas, Liverpools and Tottenhams, as do the BBC but no one is reporting our CL squad - more tarring us with the FFP brush, sickening.

Surprised Mangala is in but I suppose he might get a run out in the later games if we qualify early.
