It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

"As well as bringing a backup to the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola is considering using home substitutes. According to the English newspaper "Manchester Evening News", the coach believes that Phil Foden and Cole Palmer can make up for the loss of the player. Julian Alvarez can also help in this position, according to the newspaper."

If he believes Cole Palmer can make up for the loss of Mahrez he sure needs to be playing/trusting him more than he's been doing so far.
 
With Raphina as well, I don't like the idea of paying 60m (which in my opinion, Barca will want) for Barca to then use that cash to come in for Bernardo.

I don't want to give Barca any opportunity to come in for Bernardo. We want as few options for him this summer as possible.
Well they already owe us £40m for Torres.
 
Keeping Bernardo & Walker and replacing Mahrez on the wing would actually make this a fantastic summer. I don’t think the Mahrez replacement needs to be a knockout signing for us to compete on all fronts next year, but it definitely needs to be someone with a more direct style than Grealish to complement each other. I’m also expecting more from Foden & Alvarez next season.

Laporte > Gvardiol
Mahrez > TBC
Gundogan > Kovacic
Keep Bernardo & Walker

I’d take that in a heartbeat.
I think the squad was definitely 1 midfielder short last season though - unless McAtee can make the step up to start some PL games. I hope he can.

I keep reminding myself that Foden was out for large spells last season as was Phillips. I still haven’t written him off yet to be a useful player in the squad!

Agree on Palmer. Am sure that more trust will help his confidence. The lad has some real talent
