Probably best off admitting you never watched Bayern play. Yea Renato Sanches barely played and is now leaving. KDB and both Silvas are all attacking midfielders, none will put in a defensive shift you need from a box to box midfielder. Now why don't you compare the 'defensive midfielders' actual defensive stats and see Yaya's are very poor. The only proper DM ball winner you have who can pick a pass is Fernandinho.

It could be argued that we don't need a ball winner as we have the ball the vast majority of the time so it would be a waste of a player

Re Silva and De Bruyne, their work rate is fantastic

Our defencive record in the season just gone was more or less the consistent with previous seasons. Goal scoring was City's problem. A problem I expect that Sanchez will help solve
 
Douglas Costa looks set to join juve, looks like they are freeing up the finances to have a massive splurge on Alexis after all...

Laughable, let's look at your midfield Gundogan's world class but a cripple, Yaya's an old man who can't run for more than 5 seconds, Fernandinho is decent but wouldn't start at Bayern or any serious CL contender. The rest of them aren't midfielders, they're attacking play ers. Ball dropped big time if you let United get a free run at Fabinho.

Oh and defense, Stones is the worst defender in the PL assisting the opposition every other game, Kompany is past his prime and injury prone and Otamendi is ok but not top class.

You have top class forwards like I said but your defense and midfield are absolute toilet. Nowhere near Bayern's level as a team, delusional to pretend your anywhere near.

And unfortunately I'm here this May and you haven't been anywhere near any trophies because your manager didn't strengthen your weaknesses. If Pep doesn't strengthen your defense and defensive midfield through the core, your guaranteed not to win anything again. Improving the fullbacks alone won't fix your defense

One defeat in last 17 in league (away at Chelsea) tells me the players were beginning to understand what was being asked of them. A new keeper and fbs will improve us again. As will having a Silva replacement. We'll be able to rotate after CL games with quality as opposed to Navas and Nolito. When Sanchez comes our options will be frightening.

I wouldn't be so over confident for us to get him, this one hangs firmly in the balance.

I just hope if we don't get Sanchez, we have a backup lined up.

I don't think we have a backup in mind. We are going for Sanchez just because he is available. We have enough firepower in our squad to guarantee goals once the team has a full pre-season.

Possibly. If we are getting rid of Iheanacho, I would like us to sign a replacement.

I'm pretty sure there's a backup in mind, but just because it's rumoured (by sky/Di Marzio who are having a poor summer) Douglas Costa could go to Juve, doesn't mean Sanchez is off to Germany.
