Pep obviously wants a couple more to complete the squad maybe a left back,dm to help dino, and a stricker, thats it for me, then that should be it for a couple of years maybe a young one to come in to learn.
 
isnt that the mistake that should never be committed? (and was to an extent)

sitting on a 'perfect' squad (no such thing) and then panicking in 3 years when a group of players are ageing, going down in ability for whatever reason or looking to move on. Then you have to buy another 6 at hyper-inflated transfer fees and having 1 or two seasons wrecked by 'transition'.

nah, always add, prune and massage your squad, every year, even if its only a player or two in both directions.
 
There is no such thing as the perfect squad we have to try to find ways to keep improving no matter what.
 
2 midfielders, one to replace Yaya and one as a long term Fernandinho replacement (Fred). The other midfielder can be Delph, if we were to sign a left back (see below)

A winger/forward to rotate with Sané and Sterling

A striker (who will ultimately replace Aguero)

A centre back as cover to replace Vinnie (we'll have to wait until his contract expires though)

A left back, if Delph is to be used as a midfielder.

A goalkeeper to replace Bravo as backup (it's a myth that Bravo is good with his feet, if he's pressured he overhits it out of play).

Since you said the "perfect" squad, I'll also add a more capable back up to Walker than Danilo, selling Danilo in the process. But that's not essential.

So, 6 or 7 upgrades over the next couple of years. Then it's perfect.
 
No such thing, squads always need reinvigorating.
Agree with this. Also one man's perfect is another's brilliant but not perfect. You could name a world 11 now but have about 5 of those players swapped out with another and you could equally claim that to be the best 11.

Not knocking the thread, the standards are just to personal imo for there to be a definite answer.
