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

I feel like I'm the only city fan not currently concerned with left back. Many and Zinchenko if we can keep Mendy fit. Walker has worried me all season, also wouldn't want to miss out on Wan Bissaka.
Out In
Mahrez - sancho
Walker - wan Bissaka
Delph - Phillips
Mangala
Garcia
Garcia
Luiz

The summer would cost us around £100 million.

So far he is doing his best Roque Santa Cruz impression.

Zinchenko is fine it's Mendy I am more concerned with
 
How are we for squad spaces?

Hard to tell so some question marks on this list of 17 (Sandler makes it 18, was he in for Bravo due to the injury?).

GK
Ederson, Bravo

Def
Kompany, Otamendi, Laporte, Mendy, Danilo (Sandler?)

Mid
Silva, Silva, KDB, Gundogan, Fdinho, Zinchenko, Mahrez,

Att
Sane, Jesus, Aguero.


So to answer the question, we need to be one in one out on foreign players this summer.

Muric for Bravo hopefully and we`ll have one more. We have been linked with loads of English players like Chilwell and Rice. Sandler will go somewhere on loan unless one of Kompany/Otamendi leaves/retires

I think Muric counts as he is 20. If you swap him for Bravo then there is no space created.

Domestic players list has 1 space: Walker, Stones, Delph, Sterling.

All others on the B list.

Muric is U21 and doesn`t have to be registered. When he turns 21 he will count as an homegrown player

Or one of the homegrown if we were to bring a home grown in most likely Delph.
 
Could see the squad change this summer in a big way.
Bravo released
Mangala free
Nico sold
Delph sold
Gundogan sold cash in before goes for free
Kompany coach/backup
Mahrez cant decide maybe given a season or he might want to leave.
D.silva transitioning out

American goalie fulltime No 2
Wan bissaka & chilwell in.
Johnathan tah
Ferna back up
New winger/front 3 player if mahrez goes. Hopefully leon bailey. Added advantage he is sterlings best mate.
Foden taking more game time.
2/3 Eds garcia/sandler/Douglas Luiz etc taking up more squad places.
 
I personally wasn't thrilled with the idea of selling Otamendi this summer but with a potential transfer ban in 2020 it may mean we can't afford to offload him then, so we do it now and bring in the replacement. Extend Vinny one more year. Loan Sandler to Girona, let Garcia be the fifth CB. I expect the club to sell Tosin.

Then of course a left back and defensive mid. I think the fourth player would only be if we sold Gundogan. Should be a more exciting summer than the last one!
 
Could see loads happening.

Dm
Forward
Maybe cb if otamendi leaves.
Maybe rb if Danilo wants to leave.
Maybe a cm if gundogan gets sold and David getting older.
Maybe even another winger if mahrez wants to leave but I think we’ll give him another season.
 
No personal feelings about any player, just an interesting prediction.

Out: Bravo (free), Mangala (free), Otamendi (25m), Delph (20m), Gundogan (35m), Roberts (10m), M.Garcia (15m), D.Luiz (20m). Sandler (Loan), Muric (Loan), Garcia (Loan) Total: 125m

In: Steffen (already signed, 8m), De Ligt (65m), Ndombele (65m), Chilwell (40m), Jovic (40m, loaned back for 1 year).
Total: 218m

Net spend: 93m

Ederson, Steffen

Walker, Danilo, Stones, Laporte, De Ligt, Kompany, Chilwell, Mendy

KDB, Silva, Fernandinho, Ndombele, Zinchenko, Foden

Aguero, Jesus, Sterling, Sane, Bernardo, Mahrez

17 foreign players, 4 home grown, 1 club trained
 
Wan-Bissaka should be a priority. Would allow Walker to rest a bit more, and play CB in a pinch. Don’t know if he’d be as good in a 2 as a 3, but we dominate possession and his pace would likely be higher than any CB we have.

DM - Saul, Ndomebele
CB - De Ligt, Skriniar, promote Garcia
LB - Not sure, maybe Chillwell
Striker - Don’t know if we need one, but only having 2 strikers playing 60 games is dangerous, especially given Kun’s age & injury record
