Definitely a space for him.
I think we need one more in the centre or else we will keep seeing Gundogan at number 8.
Pep does not play De Bruyne and Silva, whilst De Bruyne and Foden would be super exciting but might lack control in some games with them both ok the front foot.
If we are classing Silva and Foden at CM’s it is just 2 wingers and Torres (who I imagine will be managed into the team over the first 3 months or so due to his age).
If we sell Ota, Stones and Garcia, Fern is firmly established as 4th choice CB.
It seems a lot when everyone is fit but we only need one injury and with the large number of games we will start looking short.
