By my calculations if Otamendi leaves we have space for 2, Zinchenko leaves aa well we have space for 3.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

I'll be shocked if Zinchenko, Ota and Garcia are still here. Does that not open spaces?

Ota does for Dias, Garcia no - he counts as club trained, so doesn’t take a foreign spot.

Zin would - if he leaves, I’d imagine we’ll bring a left back in.

Well Ota looks to be sorted,Garcia hopefully if Barca haven't actually watched him play, and Zinchenko is only just fit , so there is a chance, although not seen gossip about anybody wanting him.

That has to be a priority surely ?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

we still have 1 spot left even without selling anyone!

With 5 non-club-trained home grown against a limit of 4, one of them takes a foreign player spot.

That’s why the club wanted Otamendi out before bringing a new cb in.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Got to be mate. It’s arguable we don’t even have a fully functioning left back in the squad anymore.

Has to be the priority after Dias.

Hopefully Barcelona didn't recognise Garcia under the skull cap.

50m euros ia a pretty decent price for a player of his quality

It's a bargain, right now to some people it may seem a lot for a 22 year old but when Sterling signed for City it seemed way over priced, 5 years later he's worth 3x the price City paid imo and same with Van Dijk.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Since he refuses to play Foden or Bernardo there, I'd be shocked if we don't go in for a midfielder

It will be 2 of Gundogan, Fernandinho and Rodri a lot this season. Don’t think it’s going to work but what do I know.

and this is why we will struggle to keep pace with the scousers and others

Pep says no to another midfielder , phil and bernie hardly played last season , we have enough

Hope to Fuck it's not the Rodri/ Gundogan combination because they are as slow as Fuck and the least press resistant .
Lyon exposed that clearly .

It’s not the more attacking midfielders I’m worried about. It’s the fact that 2 of Rodri, Fernandinho and Gundogan are going to start a lot of games.

We don't have enough if he continues to play the same one paced shite in there. He hasn't played Bernardo or Foden in the midfield since what feels like forever.

I thought the same we have enough , but Pep still has not played Phil in midfield? Phil has played mostly on the wing, also bernardo has played mostly at RW. so in reality the midfiled options in Peps mind are , Rodri, Gundogan, KDB and Fernandinho, Gundogan and rodri dont work together. Pep likes from what we've seen a midfielder that controls the midfield that was David Silva, Rodri is the guy to break up play and KDB is the creator. Right now we are missing a controller i thought that would be Phil but Pep keeps playing him on the Wing and Bernardo has always played RW and not many times in the centre. Gundogan is the only player within the team who can be the controller in that midfield probably why when hes fit Gundogan plays no matter what. We really missed Gundogan today. The midfield lacked that controller to make sure things kept ticking. Aouar would fix that but we wont get him.

We will be ok, our pacey midfield enforcer Gundo is back out of isolation this week :(
