My hope is for Foden plus some of the youth to fill that role, but I can also definitely see a big name young attacker being brought in (Wirtz).
I just think it's more likely we do that when Kev retires rather than before that.

Timing is important and we don’t want to upset Kev. A young player willing to learn for a season or two would be ideal. Any about? That’s the problem.My hope is for Foden plus some of the youth to fill that role, but I can also definitely see a big name young attacker being brought in (Wirtz).

What age is Dave’s son? Out of nappies yet? -:)
Sergio Gomez. He doesn't want to leave, and he has been one of the best players at the U-21 European Championships. I hope we try him out on the wings. That's where he thrives for Spain.Walkers stays, Laporte goes, and Gvardiol comes in.
Our options for 5 defensive players are these 8 players:
Gvardiol
Ake
Dias
Rodri
Philips
Stones
Akanji
Walker
That's pretty good depth to me.
Our options for 5 attacking players are these 8 players + 3 youth options
Grealish
Haaland
Alvarez
KdB
Kovacic
Lewis
Foden
Bernie or Mahrez (Don't think both stay)
+ McAtee, Palmer, Bobb
And that looks pretty good to me too.
Edit: I forgot Rico Lewis! Thanks for the poster who reminded me.
Finally, I reckon Palmer and maybe even McAtee might go out on loan, although I would be in favor of keeping them around. I rate both highly.
Yeah I just don't think there are any is the thing, Wirtz seem to want to settle at Leverkusen for a bit.Timing is important and we don’t want to upset Kev. A young player willing to learn for a season or two would be ideal. Any about? That’s the problem.

I'm totally happy with asking Foden to take that responsibility from KdB in the centre, and asking Bobb or McAtee who can also play in the centre as subs to also chip in.
I just don't personally rate Gomez at all.Sergio Gomez. He doesn't want to leave, and he has been one of the best players at the U-21 European Championships. I hope we try him out on the wings. That's where he thrives for Spain.

He isn't playing as a winger for Spain like he would at City, the fullbacks are overlapping alot and he is basically playing in midfield.
He's a good crosser, and good passer in general, but I've watched him in these Euros and it's more about how he finds space in the Spain system to get shots and stuff.
He isn't a good dribbler which is extremely important for us out wide.
Maybe he can play in midfield for us, but I prefer our other options.

If Foden is properly stepping up we need a new wide man at the very least.Yeah I just don't think there are any is the thing, Wirtz seem to want to settle at Leverkusen for a bit.

I've been saying that but all reports are we are linked with no wingers.If Foden is properly stepping up we need a new wide man at the very least.
For me, then I'm hoping on Palmer, Bobb and McAtee breaking through.
If we lose Mahrez/Bernardo or especially if both, then we’ll definitely redress that imbalance.I would love to see us bring a world-class potential younger creative type, a potential KDB successor. Planning for the future and all, especially since we will probably lose a world-class player this summer in Mahrez, Bernardo, or both.

Risky move. Can’t see pep happy with that but you never know.I've been saying that but all reports are we are linked with no wingers.

Arsenal have apparently left everyone in their wake, with their ruthless transfers… they’ve added at least 5 goals from Havertz for £65m, they’ve added some top class bants and celebrations from Rice for £105m and now Timber for £40m or whatever it is. We surely need to spend or the title is theirs.
