How long will the rebuild take?

[micky_blue]

No ,we don’t,replace KDB, Gundogan,Walker, add a CM, and this squad is fine. We may get pushed into replacing Ederson or Bernardo but it isn’t something we need..
Probably the summer after we might need a couple more , but that’s just evolving the squad.
To get bavk to a consistent winning team next season then 4 is plenty.
Anything else is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I don’t really fully agree. If you consider our CB’s, we always have at leat 1 or 2 injured, usually Stones and Ake, that mean Akanji have to play too many games, so we definitely need another to replace either Stones/Ake or both.

Why worry about something we as fans don’t have any input. Pep will take as long as it takes to back to where we belong.

We can move Gvardiol to CB but then need a LB

Who knows?

Enjoy the ride.

We've had the greatest trophy haul that many top clubs could only dream about. It'll only be a matter of time before we're whining again :-)

Fixed it

The rebuild would ideally start in January but realistically it's next summer and it has to be brutal. We need to get rid of a lot and bring a lot in, and Viana has a huge job on his hands. Pretty sad to see this squad get so old, but it's run it course now

Two full seasons minimum.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

We need a pivot/CM + either a LB or LCD + a RB + a goal scorer ASAP if elite players become available.

Douglas Luiz is in trouble at Juve....is he worth a cheeky bid for 1st Jan or Salah ?

Id say it isnt a rebuild, it is evolution. Older players will stay, younger ones will be introduced, as is normal. This version of our team have to find their feet. Lewis, Pusey, ect will be PL winners.

The bald fraud needs to abandon his idea that a squad of 18 is the ideal. It means that some get physically and mentally flogged to death. With extra games in the CL and the Club World Cup we need 21 players at least. It will take until Sept. 2026 at least imho. As far as Erling is concerned, I think he gets all the defenders attention and that is hard. I would look for a fox in the box, not just a No.9 understudy. Phil?

3-4 windows depending on how each January window goes.
