Realistic starting 11 and squad for next season

Were no real links to Bernardo silva before the day we signed him ;)
Yeah, was thinking of that when I wrote that post tbf :D still, that one seems to have gone cold for the minute and between his injury and Vinny being fit I can't see us bringing in a centre half, with so much with to do with the rest of the squad.
 
-------------------------Ederson-----------------
-------------Kompany--------Stones-----------
Walker--------------------------------------Mendy
------------DeBruyne-----David Silva---------
B.Silva-------------G.Jesus---------------Sane
--------------------Aubameyang--------------------

I love these kind of threads - whats your thoughts on my 11?

Leaves Aguero, Gundogan, Kolarov, Otamendi on the bench! Great depth!

My thoughts are that there's absolutely no chance of Guardiola playing without a defensive midfielder/pivot, as he sees it as the most important position on the pitch, also, Aubameyang won't be coming here. Not really a realistic starting xi. Plus, what did Sterling do to you?
 
-----------------Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Mendy
-------------------Touré
Bernardo De Bruyne D. Silva Sané
------------------Aguero

Bravo, Kolarov, Stones, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Sterling, Jesus

Not a case of not thinking Stones/Gundogan/Sterling/Jesus are good enough to start for us- they are- but there is just not enough space for all of them.

I think the idea is that, like Bayern, we want to eventually have a small but fiercely competitive squad with ideally no deadwood players and every single player on the bench will be good enough for the starting XI. The disadvantage is of course that it can be difficult to keep them all happy.
This is what I think n'all
