Not only on here sadly. You get some of the same idiotic takes on Twitter, Facebook etc. Not sure if it’s a generational or just a social media thing, but some people are awfully quick to just write off players these days.

We need additions not reducing.
This is the kind of thread that gives us a bad name. We have one of the best teams in the premiership era - brief wobble - let's buy some new players!Exactly
Make up your mind William!

Terrible thread.
Form is temporary class is permenant.
We are binning the Centurions already?
Other than Mangala every player has something to contribute. In addition we need a defensive Midfielder like Fernandinho. So one in one out. That’s it.
The only others that eventually need replacing are the ones that naturally get too old when the time comes.
Throwing money at a temporary problem? Sounds like United.
Stop panicking.

Just my own take on things feel free to add your own...
Goalkeepers:
Ederson Keep Muric Keep but revert to no. 3 Bravo Cut quality backup to Eddy required
Defence:
Danilo Keep Walker Cut (or possibly retain as backup RB) Mendy Keep Kompany backup only LaPorte Keep Mangala Cut Otamendi Keep Stones Keep additional specialist full back required
Midfield:
De Bruyne Keep Delph Cut Fernandinho Keep Foden Keep Gundogan Cut D. Silva Keep B. Silva Keep Zinchenko Cut
Forwards:
Auguero Keep Brahim Diaz Cut (on the assumption hes going) Jesus Keep Mahrez backup only Sane Keep Sterling Keep
So for me that's Bravo Mangala, Delph Gundogan and Zinchenko def out with possibly Walker Kompany and Mahrez to go or with a much reduced role
plus at least 1 or 2 high quality replacements (don't ask me who they are though!)
Various things. You’ll be hard pressed to find a replacement of similar quality to Gundogan who is prepared to sit on the bench much of the time.
Whatever Walker’s shortcomings, he is also lightning fast and (unlike Mendy and Danilo) never injured.
Bravo may have very obvious shortcomings, but again finding a keeper as comfortable with his feet who is prepared to sit on the bench all the time, will be no easy task.
Personally I wouldn’t shed any tears if we moved Mendy, Gundogan, Mahrez or Delph on, and given their ages we need to start thinking about replacements for Vinny, Otters and even Kun, if not this summer then certainly the one after. The main thing now though is that we need 3 clear incoming players - a left back, a defensive midfielder and a striker

Wasn't it to do with not turning up for a physio appointmentHe's saying Mendy has a problem with Pep. I figured I had missed a bust up again.

Where have the Gundogan defenders gone. They were out in force a couple of weeks ago. Not heard anything from them since. Not a one on this thread has said keep him. The mystery is why does Pep keep playing him
Pep doesn't think like a fan .

Delph / zinc / vinny / otamendi - all coming to an end here
Would you seriously go into 2019/20 season with Mendy as our sole left back on the basis of what we have seen in the last 18 months? There is a odd argument to do nothing now, but left back is also a concern.Terrible thread.

Plus Walker, not good enough and D.Silva who will be 33 next week. A huge amount to do in transfer market.You do not get rid of any player unless you have an adequate replacement.
Those that need a replacement either permanent or as a back up in my view are: - Bravo, Mendy, Mangala, Kompany, Otamendi, Delph, Gundogan, Fernandinho and Aguero.
