Probably, but very few homegrown keepers can pass the ball and would still use one of the 4 spots, so would really need to be club trained to be of any benefit. It's a tricky one and I don't know enough about either Muric or the other academy keepers to know which way we'll go.Fair point. I'd hope said keeper is home-grown. Should try not to use a foreign spot on the back up goalie
I think Bruno might cost more. If Otamendi leaves, and Kompany retires, which is quite likely, then Alderwiereld becomes a perfect pickup. If one of them stays, then probably not.This would excellent imo
In
Rodrigo £60m
Bruno Fernandes £50m
Wan Bissaka £50m
Alderweireld £25m
Out
Gundogan £35m
Danilo £30m
Otamendi £25m
Delph £10m
Resign Sane and Zinchenko and with the above the squad has improved both in quality and age.
Alderweireld and Wan Bissaka would fit right in especially the former.
Bruno Fernandes and Rodrigo could be eased in.
Net spend £85m
Agreed.Probably, but very few homegrown keepers can pass the ball and would still use one of the 4 spots, so would really need to be club trained to be of any benefit. It's a tricky one and I don't know enough about either Muric or the other academy keepers to know which way we'll go.
Forster could be a shout.Fair point. I'd hope said keeper is home-grown. Should try not to use a foreign spot on the back up goalie
5 players is toouch. Just check the requirements. You need outs to get ins.
They’ve got to find something to give us a transfer ban.Danilo
Delph
Gundogan
Otamendi
At least to leave and David Silva at the end of next season? Also seems we will be getting some form of transfer ban according to @tolmie's hairdoo
Thats fine. If we get Aarons, Rodrigo and Felix. Even a 2 year ban wouldn't affect us much. As our average age wilt be around 27. And that will be because we have Kun, Dave, Dihno and Cap all over 30. Normally, only Kev and Walker (assuming he is still a starter) will be over 25Danilo

Kompany Retire? The man is 32?I think Bruno might cost more. If Otamendi leaves, and Kompany retires, which is quite likely, then Alderwiereld becomes a perfect pickup. If one of them stays, then probably not.
My sense is that Dihno will switch to backup CB next season, so the loss of Otamendi wouldn't create an opening their. And the DM role will be shared btw Rodrigo and Gundogan.
In my vision of who we'd get, only Felix has no proper role. But I think the intuition is that he has limitless potential, and Pep can unearth that potential.
