Summer Transfers

contract for 6 players will be expired in the end of the season.
release - zabaleta, sagna, clichy, caballero, navas
renew - yaya

sell on loan - bony, mangala, nasri, denayer & hart (sadly Pep doesn't rate him)
sell on current team - nando, bravo, delph & nolito (i don't know why pep rarely pick him)

11 stay, non-homegrown - kompany, gundogan, aguero, kolarov, de bruyne, sane, silva, dinho, g.jesus, yaya, otamendi
5 stay, homegrown - sterling, stones, nacho, a.garcia, gunn, maffeo

City can sign up to 6 non-homegrown players.
GK - ederson moraes
CB - laporte / van dijk
RB - semedo / fabinho
LB - grimaldo / bernat / alex sandro
AM - isco (his contract will be expired next year)
ST/winger - alexis sanchez (his contract will be expired next year)

basically like this, but you know Pep is always imaginative with his player's positioning.
and he rotate A LOT. i've read somewhere, Pep running his last 70+ matches without the same squad playing on 2 game in the row.

IMO:

GK - Rulli/Ederson
RB - Sidibe/Peireira/Semedo/Gaspar
LB - Sandro/Grimaldo
CB - Laporte/VVD/Manolas/Koulibaly
Mid - Bakayoko/Carvalho/Fabinho
 
GK - Donnarumma
RB - Semedo/Henrichs/Chamberlain
LB - Sandro/ Rose
CB - Laporte/ Van dijk
Mid - Weigl/Koke
 
1. Get Hart back, keep Caballero, jib Bravo.

2. New LB

3. New RB

4. New CB

5. New Defensive midfielder (Matic / Kante esque player)

The rest of the first 11 is fine.

New LB = Delph

New RB = Maffeo

New CB = Otamendi, Kolarov, Stones & Kompany are enough

New DM = Fernandinho, Yaya , Fernando , A Garcia

I only agree with getting our Hart back.
 
Nothing has changed. Hart isn't coming back and will be moved on in the summer. A new keeper is possible but that will kill the Rulli signing in 18 months time (providing he keeps progressing at Real Sociedad), Bravo could come back stronger and will blow a huge hole in our budget for more priority positions. A new LB, possible RB, an extra CB. and maybe a new CM (all depends on Yaya's contract situation and Gundogan's recovery) is what we probably bring in.

not sure on which keeper, but we're linked with so many there must be one coming.

LB - Alex Grimaldo + 1 for me.
CB - Imagine we'd go back for Laporte or Van Dijk.
RB - Bellerin + 1.
CM - Someone truly special, should be the marquee signing.
ST - Either to replace or really give Kun extra competition, with Jesus taking the left-side spot and Nolito & Navas moving on.
CAM - Maybe an understudy to Dave if Pep doesn't fancy any of the kids (yet).
