read a post on here about FDJ - who watches barcelona regularly (cant recall posters name) - that de jong isn't good enough and is actually their 3rd best Midfield player behind Pedri and Gavi who are kids themselvesIf the rumors about Gundo`s back is true and he could either leave/retire this summer, Frenkie would be perfect, he could replace both him and Dinho. Raz-Frenkie swap would make a lot of sense. Would expect a left-footed LB with good crossing coming in to accommodate Haaland
Ederson, Bazunu/Steffen
Walker, Cancelo
Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake
Zinchenko, Gomez/Wijndal/Hickey
Rodri, Frenkie
KDB, Bernardo, Grealish (Frenkie)
Mahrez, Palmer
Haaland, Alvarez
Foden, Nkunku
Frenkie was one of the best midfielders in the world while at Ajax. Barca is a mess, put him in this side and he`s top 5 midfielders in the world within a couple of monthsread a post on here about FDJ - who watches barcelona regularly (cant recall posters name) - that de jong isn't good enough and is actually their 3rd best Midfield player behind Pedri and Gavi who are kids themselves
there is also a case of trying to get bellingham too
100% insane a club like city now are still relying on fern in such a big gameGonna be an exciting summer. I’m sure Khaldoon sitting there in the Bernabeau last night watching us bring on a 37 year old midfielder to close the game out will light a fire under the hierarchy.

It highlighted a huge issue and spoke volumes about the squad,and the constant nonsense that gets spouted about its depth.100% insane a club like city now are still relying on fern in such a big game
Plus Zinchenko is on (relatively) ridiculously low wages, 20k per week apparently. Any replacement would be on at least 4 times that probably.I don't think selling Zinchenko is the right move at all.
He is a quality player that is versatile and is okay with being on the bench because he loves the club and is happy here, You need players like that in your squad. Is there anyone available who is willing to take that role that is better?
Hopefully we get arrogant and hurt Khaldoon who decides to back pep with an overhaul.
Alvarez? plus still hoping the Academy can provide a couple......Palmer,McAtee and Lavia are first team quality.Haaland, then a LB and Fernandinho replacement.
Hope the LB and DM are top quality like Haaland and not an afterthought.
Also need to finally replace Sane as we're too slow.
What if others leave such as Sterling and Gundogan? Will they be replaced this summer or will the club hope Pep can paper over the cracks again?
Latter two as squad depth quality. don't think either would start yet. Palmer earned that trust already.Alvarez? plus still hoping the Academy can provide a couple......Palmer,McAtee and Lavia are first team quality.
Or mentioning?Ya some things posted online about there being a clearance now in the summer and shk. Mansour being pissed about yesterday
Shit source, so not worth posting here
Not having a striker didn't cost us a place in the final.My concern all season has been the striker issue, can’t believe we have done so well without one but just hope we get over the line in the league , cost us a final in the champions league.

so was the step for Gabby, he was on fire when he arrived. still a question mark though.I'm not sure he'll feature much next season. Would love to be wrong but he's coming from the Argentine league to the top of the premier league. That's a huge step up.
It did , should of been out of sight first legNot having a striker didn't cost us a place in the final.
We scored 5, we conceded 6, where do do you see the problem here ? We have also scored as many as liverpool give or take in the league, not sure about all competitions but there won't be much in it.It did , should of been out of sight first leg
