Probably why we want a left back. But don't you think Pep and Txiki and the coaches have sat down and planned all this and ran through all the scenarios. Or will they just be winging it this summer.
Considering our youth players I’ll have to disagree as Palmer is Mint and mcatee will be used moreI would expect they have no doubt planned a lot of things however if they planned on selling both with no replacement, I can understand their logic but not agree with it. Of course they are successfully running a great football team and I am not. They are also privy to budgets, player availability etc which we are not. I have no doubt they will take whichever course of action they think best.
This coming season will be gruelling so I think every team will have their squad depth tested. Ours was found wanting at times, the addition of 2 forwards, a left back and a defensive midfielder while losing 2 forwards, a defensive midfielder and at least 1 left back puts us at par but I think we’ll be a winger short.
We won’t be winning four trophies or the 2 main ones with two academy players replacing established seasoned winning international playersConsidering our youth players I’ll have to disagree as Palmer is Mint and mcatee will be used more
Plenty said we wouldn't win the league last year without a striker, some even predited a top 4 fight. They were wrong too.We won’t be winning four trophies or the 2 main ones with two academy players replacing established seasoned winning international players
These young player have barely played any first team games yet
Palmer and McAtee can be filtered in and play more next season maybe 15/20 games they deserve a chance but expecting them to replace Jesus and Sterling in a title chasing team I can’t understand that logic
Furthermore it remains to be seen how Alvarez settles and adapts
Reckon I can get a refund on my season card, won't bother if this is the reality.We won’t be winning four trophies or the 2 main ones with two academy players replacing established seasoned winning international players

Correct, they’ll be eased in over time like Foden,some posters on here are just clueless, you don’t replace the goals and talent of two proven seasoned quality players with potential not matter how promising they areWe won’t be winning four trophies or the 2 main ones with two academy players replacing established seasoned winning international players

Id also like to think that if we become more clinical next season with Haaland and Alvarez then it would allow us the luxury of giving Palmer and McAtee more game time in order to build their development.I don't think McAtee and Palmer are replacing Jesus and Sterling; Haaland and Alvarez are replacing those two outgoing players. We are still going to have Grealish, Mahrez, Foden, Alvarez and Palmer who can play in the wide positions. Considering our biggest "weakness" last year was being clinical, my personal opinion is that the squad in attacking areas looks stronger for next season.
Your choice I guess it’s called having a different view I will still goReckon I can get a refund on my season card, won't bother if this is the reality.

Yeah all good mate. He has def outgrown the U23s and maybe that's why he stands out...same with Palmer.Hope you are well bud. Does almost better than Foden at the same age mean he’s not as good as Foden at that age? If so, totally agree
From what I’ve seen of him, he’s far too good for U23 football, but I’m not convinced he’s quite ready for our first team just yet. Fantastic prospect & potential tho
Maybe he's on his way to Club Tropicana?Wake me up before you go-go.
Yes I go to all of them at home and some away.I don’t miss watching any game I can’t attend in person on TVSterling is gash does anyone even watch our games, his head was well and truly gone last season. He’s got -10 finishing, Haaland and Alvarez more than replace him and Jesus already.
Bellingham isn't on the same planet as BernardoWe can cope far better with Jesus and Sterling leaving rather than Bernardo. Bernardo is irreplaceable at the moment unless Bellingham suddenly becomes available.

Especially with the extra subs.Id also like to think that if we become more clinical next season with Haaland and Alvarez then it would allow us the luxury of giving Palmer and McAtee more game time in order to build their development.
Yes he is, as good no not yet, but I think he will be.Bellingham isn't on the same planet as Bernardo
