Richards30, I appreciate that Platini is a bit distracted at the moment but there's no need to take the piss.
If we signed those, you'd have to tell the screws in his nick to be on suicide watch.

Haha possibly mate but I would imagine new sponsorship deals will be announced in the summer and regarding wages I think yaya, Nasri,navas, sagna, MDM, kolarov, bony, and possibly Fernando will all be out the door. Gundogan will be fairly cheap, we will also get fees for players leaving and new players fees etc can be put through the books over the length of contracts. Would you be happy if it did end up like that though sheikhs?
 
To be honest, I'd like to see what he can do with the players we've got already. It's the best squad in the league. Stands to reason that the best manager could realise their potential. My preference would be to ship out the ones that will clearly never be good enough and integrate academy players.
I think he'd just get Thiago.

It's just the age of the squad now sheikhs that's the problem. Pep will face his biggest scrutiny ever if/when he joins us as currently he is a media darling but certainly in the uk the media will be begging him to fail!!
 
If trying to win the myopic morons we call the media over is his biggest challenge, I think he could handle that.
 
John Stones and Gundogan.

A young, quick left back who's good going forward - possibly Gaya.

A defensive midfielder who protects that defence and can set the tempo from deep - I'm really not sure who that could be.

A striker to replace Bony - Lacazette would be a good fit.
 
Just read on the sport bible's facebook page he wants to bring thiago and suarez to the premier league, i take everything i read with a pinch of salt especially after the isco and pogba threads...... but i would love it just love it if we signed these guys

MDM, Zab, Clighy, Yaya, Navas and Fernando out.

I'd like to keep Nasri because he is quality and think he can do well in a Pep system. I think we will get a young forward, maybe someone like Angel Correa.

Like this very much good post sir
 
Widespread changes are not needed we just need a manager to implement a style and actually give out instructions once in a while to get the best out of the players we've currently got. I think we'll concentrate on both fullback positions this summer. Mainly due to age more than ability. After that, I can see Fernando being shipped out with Zab replacing him as a holding midfielder after bringing in a younger right back and then using Fernando's place to bring in an eventual Yaya replacement without actually replacing Yaya just yet.

Also don't really buy into the whole media "peps targets" thing, he'll obviously be consulted but Txiki makes the signings. I'd guess we've been drawing up a list of our main targets since the start of the season and it won't alter too much regardless of who our manager is in the summer.

I'm one away from you.

I'd take Gomez over Gundogan, and I'll drop Nasri and keep Yaya. Everything else I'm with you on.
 
Don't think we need this complete overhaul like everyone is thinking... If we truly believe vinny can stay healthy I think we have the cbs we need (Denayer in for MDM if we think it's the right time)... As far as fullbacks go how can you not like Sagan and zaba so I'd say a new lb if there is someone we truly think could be the next big fullback. Say what you want about bony but he does score and this is still early in his city career relative to playing time and kelechi has looked very promising so I think strikers are set. AMs are great and I even think Nasri could stay and do a job for us since he looked pretty good before the injury. I'd say navas and yaya need to be replaced, so around 2-3 solid pieces I think would do it.
