Houssem Aouar

As long as we sign Koulibaly.

Aouar eems unnecessary to me when Foden and Bernardo can't get in the team.

Aouar will be good enough to challenge de Bruyne for his position as well. Silva is gone so Bernardo and Foden share that load and de Bruyne can get a breather. Lad wants to play, especially having been out so often, but we need to use him wisely. Plenty minutes to go around and good permutations as well.
 
Im struggling to believe that we've signed this guy, no links. Surely if this was a done deal there would be leaks?
 
If people need someway to rationalize this, it would be 6 midfielders for 3 spots.

Aouar/Foden-------Kevin/Bernardo
--------------Rodri/Gundogan

Bernardo would be in his best midfield position to backup Kev, but can play RW and a deeper midfield role.
Foden can play across the front 3 as well.

So both can still get minutes.

It could mean Gundogan is gone, who knows.

Well normally I'd be excited about links to top players but we had Foden and Bernardo on the bench vs Lyon so what is the point?
 
He managed to get in ahead of Bayern & us pretty well here & there, I thought
Yeah he did, I just think if he had a bit more acceleration over 5 yards we'd be more excited by him and would probably dave him from the Gundogan comparisons. Looking at Bayern tonight they have exceptional pace all over the field, something I think we lack a little. But I'd definitely take him, he looks very good on the ball.
