The first bit is obvious, he's never fit.
I've no idea about the second bit, but I bet Pep sure has an issue with Mendy never being fit.

He's saying Mendy has a problem with Pep. I figured I had missed a bust up again.

Depends who we’re going to bring in as replacements.
Delph, for whatever reason, has really dropped off as a LB compared to last season. I’d keep him as a rotation option.
Zinchenko, whilst he’s a good kid, I wish he’d of accepted the move to Wolves. I don’t understand how we’ve seen a winger and decided he’d be a good LB, given he doesn’t have the height, pace, stamina or physicality for the role. He’s a bit lightweight for CM as well.
Mangala and Bravo have to go. Otamendi, I’d keep unless we can get a top class replacement like a Koulibaly, Skriniar, De Ligt, or even Lucas Hernandez who can also play LB.
Walker just needs a rest. Wish we’d go for Kimmich who can play either RB or CM and has a good relationship with Pep.
Mendy, no idea. He’s great offensively but does he work well with Sane as they both operate in the same space. We’ll have to see what he’s like after his return from injury.
Jesus is a good backup, but we really need another World Class striker to go alongside Aguero.

Yes I realised that, but if there is a problem (and I've never seen anything about one), its more likely the other way round.He's saying Mendy has a problem with Pep.
For me I’d cut: Gundogan, Danilo, Otamendi, Mangala, Bravo.
Promote Muric to backup keeper. Loan Zinchenko
Buy: RB, LB, CB, DM and Striker in summer. All of which, bar the CB, needs to really be pushing to be a 1st team player immediately.
Gives us a squad as follows:
Ederson
Muric
Walker
New RB
Stones
Laporte
New CB
Kompany
Mendy
New LB
Dinho
Delph
New DM
KDB
D Silva
B Silva
Foden
Sterling
Sane
Mahrez
Jesus
Aguero
New striker
Still space for two more players if we needed, maybe a 3rd keeper and a backup winger?

Cut - Mangala, Delph, Zinchenko
We need to sign a leftback and a defensive midfielder.

There is a solid squad player in Zinchenko. Would like to see him play for a while in his preferred position, alas, that won't happen with us.
Name me one good striker that we could sign who would want to compete with both Sergio and JesusFor me I’d cut: Gundogan, Danilo, Otamendi, Mangala, Bravo.
