Fernandinho would make way for Xhaka.

Thats a downgrade... Why do that when Yaya and Fernando does already need to leave to make way and Fernandinho plays everywhere needed... if that not pep style i dont know what is. Im sure DInho is staying

Hence i smell BS. Even delph is gone before Ferna is.

I love Fern, but Xhaka offers game control. Gundogan would replace Fern. No point comparing Fern to Xhaka as they are not comparable.

I would assume its because of his foreign player status and age.

I can only presume that the talk of Fernandinho making way is age related - not that I'd agree with that sentiment.

Fernandinho going? ;(

Certainly out in terms of being a shoe-in starter. That's just based on the business we are attempting to do.

I suspect he can stay, so long as he accepts a squad role, and will take the bench spot vacated by Yaya and Fernando.

I also think that Gündogan compares to Fernandinho, certainly not Fernando. Question is who will be Pep's Xabi Alonso in City's midfield. Can't see Fernando there, just not good enough.

You have to remember guys, basing TH is correct, that Pep us building a young team for a fresh cycle.

I would keep Fern but he maybe the Yaya quandry we had when PSG tapped him up and we shouldve sold (I hoped we would).

Gundogan, Xhaka and Pogba in a three is outstanding and have 5 years in the trio easy
