If Bonucci comes in then Nico is off I feel.

We are allowed 17 foreign players.

I'd be surprised by that, because for all his faults he's very good at what Pep likes in terms of comfort in possession and bringing the ball out from the back. Now that's he's got Kompany alongside him to dominate the PL's biggest lummox forwards, I think he's looked halfway decent. Plus in the event of Kompers getting injured once more, it would leave us with just 2 centre halves and Kolarov again.
 
Reckon that when the CB comes in one of Kolarov or Otamendi will get sold. That leaves room for one more foreign player. It won't be Fabinho, but it could be a DM if not then you'd think it's another full back.

If we get all those players then it's up there with Madrid's summer 2010 spend when they bought Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso, Benzema, etc.

Yeh, thinking about it, he might be planning to use Fernandinho as cover at LB for Mendy, and flog Kolarov in the process. However, if Fabinho's not coming then potentially Fernandinho would have to cover RB as well!

The problem with Nico is he isn't a leader so when Kompany is out, him and Stones becomes a bit of a calamity.

With Bonucci, at least there is a leader in the defence who can marshall the likes of Stones.
 
What ??Fernandinho was one of our best player this season! He is so underrated here!

Totally agree. I've heard more than one person claim we need to get rid of the "Ferns" as if they're similar players. It completely deluded, bordering on racist to put them in the same bracket.

Fernandinho was our best player last season before his first sending off. One of the most underrated players in the league.
 
We're gonna be too light in defence getting Carvalho and not Fabinho. Need Walker and Mendy to stay fit, yet Mendy missed many matches last season!

Bordering racist? What the hell are you on about?

Yes, don't mind Carvalho for dm but we need that RB cover too, the only other player that comes to mind that can do that as comfortably as Fabinho is Kimmich, that said Zin seems to think Billy is wrong in his certainty that Fabinho is off.

Yep, it doesn't make any sense as an alternative signing. Their role in the squad wouldn't be the same. We need the versatility more than we need the outright DM.

Maffeo.
 
Fernandinho is one of our best players and he would be one of the first names on my team sheet

I think it's very unlikely he's the first name on the actual team sheet.

He's not going to be a better RB than Walker, LB than Mendy or pivot than Yaya or anyone coming in.

Fernandinho's only chance of being in the starting XI every week is if we play 3241 again.
