2019 Summer Window - Whom do we Need ? - Whom will we Sign?

[Delphinho]

I expect ouyhoinou to go fast

Agree

Maguire really wouldn’t suit our system. It would be like Demichelis all over again. It’s either De Ligt or bust, and I really can’t see us getting him anymore. Letting both Vinny and Nico leave at the same time would be a mistake. Need to try and keep Nico now as he knows the system. Bedding in two centre backs would cost us at times and as proven this season there isn’t a lot of margin for error.

See your point but Laporte fitted in immediately - so maybe it’s about getting the right player.

With Kompany (and likely a few others such as Otamendi and Delph and possibly Danilo) now going, our squad next year will probably end up looking like (homegrown and under-21s in bold):

GK: Ederson, Steffen

RB: Walker, Danilo
CB: Stones, Laporte, Fernandinho, [new CB - Maguire?]
LB: Zinchenko, Mendy (Laporte if needed)

DM: Gundogan, [new DM - Rodri?]
CM: De Bruyne, D. Silva, Foden, [new CM - Bruno?] (Bernardo if needed)
RW: Bernardo, Mahrez
LW: Sterling, Sané

ST: Aguero, Jesus (Sterling if needed)

Phil Jones seems comfortable on the ball....

 

[Delphinho]

De Ligt, Rodri and Sancho (if Sane leaving is true)

 

[Kladze]

With Kompany (and likely a few others such as Otamendi and Delph and possibly Danilo) now going, our squad next year will probably end up looking like (homegrown and under-21s in bold):

My guess:

GK: Ederson, Steffen
RB: Walker, NEW RB (Wan-Bissaka?)
RCB: Stones, Otamendi
LCB: Laporte, NEW CB (Maguire?)
LB: Zinchenko, Mendy
CDM: NEW CDM (Rodri?), Fernandinho
RCM: De Bruyne, Gundogan
LCM: Silva, Foden
RW: Bernardo, Mahrez
LW: Sterling, NEW LW
ST: Aguero, Jesus

In: RB, CB, CDM, LW
Out: Kompany, Danilo, Sané (+ Delph, Mangala, etc.)

daily mail did mention that Otamendi may stay now

This will happen I reckon.

Replacing Vinny is going to cost us close to 100m yet he is leaving on a free.

Otamendi leaving as well means we will likely need to spend well in excess of 100m on central defenders this summer.

Not happening.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Can't see Otamendi staying. I doubt City are blocking anyone who wants to go

Everything you have said is correct. De Ligt or no one, certainly not Maguire.
