Next Summer Window Expectations

Don't want us bailing out any of the clubs in financial trouble, Barcelona and Chelsea let them rot.

Kimmich, Couto, Savio, New back up keeper in.

Ederson/New keeper
Couto/Walker
Stones/Dias/Akanji
Ake/Gvardiol
Rodri/Kimmich
De Bruyne/Foden/Nunes/Kovacic
Grealish/Doku
Bernardo/Savio
Haaland/Alvarez

Think we probably have to offload Kovacic if Kimmich comes in.

Ortega - £20m-£30m
Phillips - £15m-£20m
Kovacic - £10m-£20m
Cancelo - £5m-£10m loan fee or £15m-£20m sale.

Think we'd be in a great position with those additions.

Dom’t think we’d do that, and one of the reasons I’m coming around to thinking we won’t go for Kimmich.
 
Would love Ortega to stay but I think he will want first team football which I sadly agree with as he is too good to be a reserve .
 
After recent experiences, I don’t think we’ll be dragged into a protracted summer of chasing players who might go elsewhere or stay put (Wirtz and Kimmich will likely both be at Bayern come September, for me). Better to target players we reckon we can get and get quickly.

Rather than just look at potential players, however, I reckon it’s also helpful to identify what we sometimes lack. We need another physical presence with height in midfield, we need an attacking outlet on the left that can go naturally around the opposing right back, we need another midfield body that can retain possession but also be creative, and we need a physical presence with some pace who can also play up front.
 
Why mate? All the best German journalists say he’s unhappy and wants a fresh challenge? Tolmie also said he wants city this summer?
Just think it’s hot air and about money in the end . Would love him at city but can’t see it .

I genuinely think he fancies a crack at the premier league to be honest, especially under Pep and the squad we have currently
 
Bit of wishful thinking here. I expect to see Walker, Phillips & Gomez move on in the summer (hopefully nobody else) and if opportunity permits would love to see us exercise our club trained buy back options for Douglas Luiz & Yan Couto. Think Paqueta is nailed on to arrive if not banned and have a feeling we'll see his fellow Brazilian Savio along with the Urugayan Araujo to replace Walker, possibly in part ex for Cancelo. Above all let's get a top level LB in like Alphonso Davies. Bobb & Lewis will both still be U21 next term so maybe a squad looking like this might emerge:
Ederson
Araujo, Stones, Dias, Davies;
De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva;
Foden Haaland Grealish:

Ortega
Couto, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake;
Kovacic, Luiz, Paqueta;
Savio, Alvarez, Doku:

+ Nunes, Carson, Bobb & Lewis.

Walker isn’t going anywhere mate
