The club aren’t stupid they will have plans A B and C in placeAgreed, I'd just like to hear some positive news soon about the incomings though.
We are now evolving abs building for the next five years
Whilst the Rags try to buy another player who doesn’t want to go there
Starting to think the club thought it was unfair for us to add Haaland to our squad so sold all of our players.
Finding this summer a particularly odd one. I thought we were short of players the last 2 seasons and we could potentially go into this season with even fewer.
Still a great squad in terms of ability but we could be an injury or two away from struggling.
My biggest fear for the summer is that after agreeing to let all these players leave as their valuations were met we might end up at the end of the transfer window and Barcelona have somehow pulled £80m quid out of nowhere and bid for Bernardo. We then either agree to sell him so as to keep our word or we refuse and Bernardo turns round and says that we allowed everyone else to leave so we should let him as well. Could cause a problem…

All for refreshing the squad but the turnover in one close season is becoming alarming.
Would be cracking business to Get Gavidol and curcurella in exchange for Zinchenko and Ake and some of the 12 million profit we are on currently according to transfermaket.com would mean better at CB Left Back Midfield and CF and have profit only question would be right wing
Could have Cancelo Walker and Kabore At right back and Cancelo and Cucurella on left

Always hard to bid farewell to liked players but im all for giving potentially younger academy lads more of a chance of breaking through with an already world class squad. Zinners defending is fukin shite especially with balls swinging to the far post. Nowhere near good enough and we will always have better 1st team players going forward. Thanks for Villa 2nd half tho lad you were instrumental us winning league!

We will 1million % be spending some major P's now on a couple with all these going and they will be stronger and faster than those we got shot of. Funnily im more than happy to believe what Pep and Tixi know what they are up to so some of whiny tarts on here should calm down.

The assists? No one to pick out? Welbeck?! You’re joking right.You’ve not shown a single stat that Cucurella is better than Zinchenko as of yet, barring picking out Welbeck whereas Zinchenko had nobody to pick out.
Zinchenko will have played minutes when we’d already won and were playing keep ball rather than attacking, which will also skew his stats.
Zinchenko managed 4 assists in his minutes last season. Cucurella 2, in 3 times the amount.
By all means say the guy is better defensively, but by reiterating that you think he’s better than Zinchenko going forwards, you look foolish, especially when your stats don’t back you up.
Cucurella was assisting Welbeck and Maupay. Zinchenko wad picking out Sterling, de Bruyne, Jesus, Mahrez, Gündogan etc. so many better players to assist. Just because they aren’t natural strikers doesn’t mean Welbeck is easier to find. The fact that Brighton have less of the ball and create fewer chances in general mean he is their chief creator by a long way too.
Zinchenko created just 16 chances so City players scored 25% of the chances he created.
If Brighton had scored 25% of Cucurella chances he’d have 10 or 11 PL assists.
Zinchenko has better attacking per 90 stats than Cancelo. Yet anyone with half a brain could tell you Cancelo is leagues ahead offensively.

No surprise players who don’t feel automatic picks for big games want to leave. They’ve won a shed load of trophies and are nearly all approaching their last meaningful contract. They want a few seasons as automatic starters and we can’t offer them that.
The CL is a lottery and that’s the only other pull in our favour, so good luck to them. I trust the club will not leave a manager who is on verge of signing an extension, with a squad unable to compete across all fronts. It’s only mid-July.
