If we buy Leao Sterling will either move to the right to replace Jesus or be sold, it is not impossible that a swap for James happens, although unlikely, we will not buy Cucurella before selling Zinchenko ( my belief:) Bernardo who can afford one of the best players on the planet, Newcastle?do people think we're just gonna let bernardo/zinchenko/sterling leave and NOT sign a replacement? I don't understand the current freakout at all.
Assuming Pep watches the football matches, he'll have no interest in changing Walker for anyone this year on the right.I actually think Walker is the one whose gonna see his minutes decrease. He's the most limited player in the build up. Can't cross, his passing is serviceable and not as comfortable in possession. He'll still get a lot of minutes but I think Pep will really like the idea of Cancelo on the right, Cucurella on the left overlapping our wingers who cut inside.
That's why I asked what has he said? All I saw was something from Romano on twitter.Agents usually speak on behalf of their player…
Totally agree. Walker offers very little offensivelyI actually think Walker is the one whose gonna see his minutes decrease. He's the most limited player in the build up.

Not sure we can plan on the basis of last season - We started the season with 8 defenders - after Mendy was suspended we had 7 and at one point 5 were carrying injuries. We can't buy another first team level player for that kind of once in ten seasons level of injuries. If it had happened at any other time of the season it wouldn't have been an issue, and if we'd got Liverpool's draw in the CL it wouldn't have been an issue.It's also interesting that it seems like we are signing a LB to upgrade on Zinchenko. Rather than replacing a certain french LB.
With Ake as additional cover for LB. And Stones covering RB. Risky move....as it leaves us vulnerable if we have a similar defensive injury crisis we had at the end of last season.
Idk I think him draping the prem trophy in his countries flag and the whole of the South stand on their feet applauding him will be a pretty beautiful memory for him to leave on if he doesMy heart… wish we’d have known by the end of the season if Zinny is going, a proper farewell is deserved and more.
He wants football every week,you can't blame him.Enormous step down if it ever happened.
Zin is miles too good for that level.
