How long will the rebuild take?

Walker is finished lets not kid ourselves or live in some parallel universe, the same applies to Gudo, are CB situation is critical.

We don't sort this out quickly we will finish mid table.

We don’t defend from set pieces or score from them , we don’t counter attack at all our build up is slow and predictable and our centre forward has the ball control of a five year old. Most teams have a settled defensive unit whereas ours is different every week due to injury or rotation our midfield has no legs in it and you could see this happening as the squad has not been refreshed for seasons. Reminds me of the state of the rags when Ferguson retired, he knew the writing was on the wall and the squad was fucked

The complacency of the execs not to refresh and reinvigorate the squad and the ridiculous loyalty to these players is fast coming back to bite us hard.

Turning down 30m for Walker from Bayern at his age and with the number of games in his legs was crazy, to then give him a new 3 year deal on 200k a week was utter madness.

John Stones can't play more than a couple of games a month in a good year, same sadly with Ake and again nothing done about it.

Never getting in a proper partner /rotation player for Rodri utter madness, the player himself pleading with the club to do so as he was running on empty.

We got away with so much last season, the form of Foden, Alvarez and to an extent Doku got us to a title but Fodens form has fallen off a cliff, Alvarez was sold and not replaced and Doku is Doku.
 
The rebuild is enormous
We need gone
Ederson (not looking happy)
Bernardo (wants to leave for years)
Stones (only for his injuries)
Ake (same)
Gundo (finished)
Walker(same)
KDB(legend but contract up )
Ortega(if he doesnt get #1 spot)
Grealish( not good enough)

Rebuild is huge and will take longer than the 2 years pep is staying
 
Edersons already checked out
Walker silva stones ake gundo grealish kdb maybe mcatee will be gone . Massive rebuild and you know Haaland might want out if this carry’s on . Too much of a rebuild for pep i think and too emotional for him as his attachment is plain to see . I knew we’d drop off this season as 4 in a row is so difficult and the players have given their all but this drop off tells me there is something else we don’t know about happening behind the scenes .

Eh?

We’ve just relied on our older players for too long, that’s all it is, combined with a terrible injury list, although the signs of our power waning was there last season really.

We put our FA Cup final defeat down to the players being pissed, well they’ve looked the same in most games since so either they haven’t sobered up yet or actually the end has arrived for too many.
 
Due to age and/or injury problems, I think we need to look at replacing the following over the next couple of windows:

Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, KDB, Gundogan.

Bernardo, Grealish and Kovacic probably all have a couple more years left in them but will also need replacing in the not too distant future.

Quite the rebuild is needed, especially in defence and midfield.

Our inability to beat the top teams in the League last year was a further warning light that our powers were waning.
