It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

A new LB could work with Zinny, since Cancelo plays both sides.

Cancelo-Walker (Starters)
Zinchenko-Cancelo (No Walker)
Zinchenko-Walker (No Cancelo)
Gomez-Walker/Cancelo (No Zinchenko)
 
Zin isn’t going anywhere if it’s down to his wishes or the clubs, he is happy, the club is happy with him. You won’t find a replacement as good as him happy to keep his head down and work as hard as he does with the number of games he gets.

As for Gabby, that one is down to him, I get the feeling the club wouldn’t sell him unless he wants to go, and would be loathed to let him stay in the premiership too.

Sterling however, different story. Not in the right frame of mind, so could be an outbound name maybe
Sterling is the one to go for me, he had a couple of better games straight after he’d performed well for England, but has just returned to type now of looking like he’d prefer to be elsewhere.
 
We almost never rotated Fernandinho either in the seasons before Rodri arrived, and didn’t appear to be in much of a rush to get another DM in until Fernandinho was looking his age.

If we go for someone I have to agree with the other poster it would be a more low-key, as opposed to a world record fee for a defensive mid. Similar to bringing in Ake effectively as a squad buy.
Fernandinho’s form wasn’t exactly poor when we signed Rodri. Ake is a whole different story, as we already have three world class CB’s to rotate in two spots and he came to be the fourth in the rotation. If anything, only supports the point that the investment for the DM will be significant — or we can also rule out Bellingham starting now?
Last summer, with Grealish it was the same thing. How many times did people say we didn’t need him or that his arrival would be predicated on someone (probably Bernardo) leaving? The truth is, only Pep knows who he needs and why he’d need him. And he’s an inventive manager, the answers aren’t always clear
 
Out of Mahrez and Sterling who is extending then? Interesting to see what goes.
