Jesus - gone
Sterling - going
Dinho - gone
Zinchenko - ?
Ake - ?
Could end up a mini-overhaul. Pound for pound we’ve upgraded on the outgoings in Haaland / KP so far, but regardless, less than ideal maybe?
Pep tends to prefer evolution over revolution - the incomings will need to settle a little quicker than we usually expect for Pep signings. Grealish needs to be tall this season too, from the off.
The upside is that the entire starting XI, at least that which doesn’t contain Gabby, is unchanged. The core of the important players remains the same, we’ve not had an outgoing in the shape of a Kompany or Dilva (assuming Bernardo stays, which I’d expect given Barca’s situation).
Negatives - few more departures than we wanted *might* happen.
Positives - best XI remains intact, man for man upgrades on the outgoings, Palmer set to break through too, and Grealish hopefully shaken off first season syndrome.
On the whole, very positive. Winning the quadruple and World Cup.
