Beginning The 2025 Rebuild of City

Barcelona may take him back to monopolise the chance to get more money from suitors. They don’t have a buyback clause but they hold 50% of the rights.

I thought Kyle Walker according to most on here was finished, a better replacement for someone finished is a low bar.

A peak Walker.

A peak Walker.

Good luck finding one of them. We may have to wait a couple of years before a player becomes available of the standard.

Frimpong isn't a bad starting point.

Frimpong is a new one on me. Who does he play for? ;-)

Real Madrid.

That's how I see it exactly. The squad needs to increase by two, so that's seven signings. Living in fantasy land for the moment, our squad heading into next season for me:

Ortega
Second-choice GK (Hard to identify at the minute)
Third-choice GK from the academy

Kimmich/Kerkez
Bah
Stones (sees out his contract)
Dias
Gvardiol
Ake
Akanji
Lewis (not good enough, but he'll stay)

Rodri
Zubimendi
Guimaraes
Foden
Nunes (not good enough, but he'll stay)
Bernardo (sees out his contract)
Wirtz
Musiala
Kovacic
Doku
Savinho
Grealish (leaves in 2026)

Bobb
Haaland
Echeverri

Futures of Wright, O'Reilly, Simpson-Pusey, Doyle and Mubama are undecided.

And we're Chelsea all of a sudden - you were right with the fantasy lol.
If it's a wum you got me

Yes but we need a right back as good as prime Walker, not this season’s version.

Is he a left back?????

I agree but Walker was among the best around in Europe. RB’s of that standard are scarce.

Since Pep seems to have an aversion to signing a LB I think that actually might be a question Pep asks every potential signing for all the other positions we are interested. ;-)

Pep to potential new signings “CM, CF but can you also play Left Back?”
