Agree with the depth but I don't see Mbappe going anywhere before the World Cup personally.

Pep didn't join us to manage mediocre.The only way to complete with the best is to buy the best.I think we re going for the best squad in the world. And we are really close to it.
We have 1 fullback, potentially 3 soon. 3 CB's (one who's "potential", one who's injured most of the time) & we have 2 natural wingers. Think we're building a great squad, but not convinced we're particularly close to the best in the world yet.I think we re going for the best squad in the world. And we are really close to it.
It's been a great transitional window in which we've removed most of our deadwood, and will likely have a tasty first 11 & most of the bench, but as for squad I reckon we're still a summer window short of having true depth in my eyes.

City say they are paying £49.3m (€54.9m) for Benjamin Mendy and receiving £5.25m for Aleks Kolarov. [@SunMartinB]

Who would be your first 11, I can't pick a midfield if we play serf and Jesus. Some unbelievable bench next season.We have 1 fullback, potentially 3 soon. 3 CB's (one who's "potential", one who's injured most of the time) & we have 2 natural wingers. Think we're building a great squad, but not convinced we're particularly close to the best in the world yet.

He is certainly the Jewell in Monaco´s 2017 Crown.
What a year of success for their normal Business Plan. Selling practically their whole team seems suicide but football is just a vehicle for their way to make money and they may have a couple of unsuccessful years but surely they can now subsidise that shortfall.

I did mate, still can't see it. I must be blind. I'll get the wife's reading glasses and try again.

You see the empty half of the glass. I see the best couple of CB s in the world (Kompany+Otamendi) plus a future star (Stones) + Mangala. And we have added top 5 rb and lb. We have 2 of the best young wingers in the world (Sterling+Sane), and de Bruyne/B Silva that can play there. Best ST in the world+ the next best ST in the world. We only need one young, good DM and we are done. That could be the new brazilian boy.We have 1 fullback, potentially 3 soon. 3 CB's (one who's "potential", one who's injured most of the time) & we have 2 natural wingers.

No mate. 30 degrees every day this week during the day. Down to about 8 at night but it's beautiful. I'll be in the Cape in a couple of weeks.Must be chilly up there. Come down to the Cape.

To be fair, they've only sold 1 full back, 1 defensive mid and 1 attacking mid. Managed to bring in some very good replacements as well; Tielemans and Kongolo. Bernardo Silva will be their biggest loss but in my opinion they'll be just fine.

In that case, no fcukin excuses if we don't win serious silverware.I think we re going for the best squad in the world. And we are really close to it.

Agree but if we get Sanchez I think we would be on a par with them at least. This team has everything and more. Unbelievable pace out wide, power and flair through the middle and the finishing up front. Someone is going to get a real good hiding next season.I only see Real above us, as a squad. We have come a long way..
