Maybe we're just going to buy attackers and defenders?

Just have Yaya, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Fernando and Delph in midfield?
Maybe but doesnt sound like a Pep team without a strong intelligent pivot, Fernando and Delph won't be that , think both will be gone ,not sure Gundogan Fernandinho and an ageing Toure are either. I'd be very surprised if we dont buy a cm / pivot. Personally I think Kimmich but if not who knows ?
 

Τhe same person who was saying that Fabinho is close to us no he says he isn't ....
What about that ?

Romero talked to Pep and Txiki personally just 2 days ago. No reason to doubt his words. I'm inclined to think we scouted Fabinho for RB spot, not DM. Now different candidates are emerging - Aurier, Semedo.
 
He is not Pep type of dmf not smart enough and too physical. İ rate Yaya, Dinho and İlkay more than him in our system. We need regista not tough guy in midfield like Fabinho, Nainggolan or Matic.

In my view that is exactly the type of player pep needs in the prem. that is the difference in this league. You need some steel in midfield to compliment the flair

Pep will not adapt EPL. He has his own style. Signing of sweeper keeperagain (Ederson) and technical player Bernardo Silva shows us again that he is loyal to his system. Board also supports him as they plan to renew his cobtract.

I agree mate...I was just about to type the very same thing. We have one of the best managers in the world that can/should be able to adapt his style to suit the prem and the area in front of the back 4 is where alot of Prem teams out muscle us and it had a big part to play in the results last season. Pep might feel we can "make-do" this season, as fullback is a bigger need but I think we'll be a better team once we sort the DM position out.

If he pulls it off with total flair players then I will salute him. Teams like the rags and dippers will try to bully us off the ball.
We would need to play at a very high tempo and not give the ball away for it to work. Otherwise you have to fight fire with fire in certain circumstances

I agree but any fire we inject into the game seems to be met with stringent punishment from the officials, more so than our opponents.

We were dominant against United last season in both matches. They must worry not us.

Whilst I think there is an element of truth to this, I think a mix of elements in that midfield 3 can mirror the effectiveness of a destroyer. This past season we saw silva dropped deeper and whilst City fans have known for a while that he has no problem getting stuck in and having the odd cheeky rake at someone, we saw it a lot more this season. Against the rags away earlier in the season Silva, kdb, and Fernandinho dominated their midfield. I was laughing my tits off as Silva won headers against pogba. Pep wants to attack and defend as a team and there is less of a need for a dejong type when everyone else has strict defensive duties. I think we need a player there, but we can get away with the coming season as Yaya and Fernandinho are still more than able. Gundogan may work there too, if he can stay fit.
 
Ok Fabinho is great player, but from Monaco my favorites are

1- Mbappe
2-Bernardo
3- Fabinho

Glad we got Bernardo, no problem let them have Fabinho
