Walker isn't seemingly going anywhere, so I would retain Zin, which affords Cancelo as many games as possible on both sides when Pep rotates.

Mendy is only ever moving back to France or Italy, so fear we have done our dough and he will be loaned out until he becomes a free agent.

I would loan him to Leeds. Bielsa was a mentor/father figure to him at Marseilles, if anyone can get him back on track, it's him.

There are only two clubs with stable enough management to offer him the environment he needs to succeed and improve. Bayern M and City.
 
Do you know anything about LB targets by any chance?

I'm not completely convinced we're going to end up signing one.

It's definitely an area which we can and should improve on, but I personally think Ake getting game time as a LB is the only way we're going keep him happy. Laporte can barely get on the field at the moment, I'm not sure where Ake is going to get any meaningful minutes when he's fit again - and we've seen that Pep was starting to utilise him as a LB before he got injured.

Zinchenko has shown he's more than handy and worth keeping around and Cancelo can do a job there. Throw Ake's situation on top, and I think we're going to find it difficult to add another starting player to the equation. That's without even factoring in Mendy, who's going to be hard to shift.
 
Can see a number of clubs enter the race for this lad with an array of progressive financial approaches. He's that good. It would be naive to think otherwise

True,but even without the Blue tints,i dont see a better choice than us for the lad.

Its the perfect timing in every respect,his style is also perfect for the Prem,he could,and probably will,be a legend here.

I see this happening.

We`re a team that every season competes in 4 competitions. We`ll need both Laporte and Ake at CB. 4 CBs is a necessity. Just look at Liverpool, went into the season with only 3 CBs, and ended up playing 2 midfielders at CB after a couple months. We`ve been lucky not to have a single injury on Stones and Dias this season, considering how much they`ve played. Cancelo can for sure do a job at LB, but he`s still a RB, and that is by far his best position. Unless Pep still believes in Mendy (which seemingly hasn`t been the case this season) we should absolutely be in for a new LB. Zinchenko is brilliant, but if he gets injured Pep would have to play a makeshift LB, which would just affect the RB or CB position. With approximately 60 games a season, injuries etc. 2 players per position seems like a must. Doesn`t have to be a world class super expensive LB, just someone who could challenge Zinchenko or step in when required
 
We already have. It will be this summer or not at all, that much has been made clear.

I don't think money is an issue, otherwise we wouldn't be willing to pay such a high premium ahead of his buyout clause the following year.

Let's hope his dad is as influential as we think!

Crazy to think it could be him and Messi at a combined transfer cost of £90m!
And Grealish £150m?

So City wave both Luiz & Sancho money?
