Me and not checking spelling.

There are none as blind as though who see ;)

THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE JESUS FOR WHO HE IS. Mattew 9:26

Gabriel Jesus is returning or we are signing a bloke named Matthew. How about Matt Targett from Newcastle will be our new LB?

So the front runners seem like:

Bellingham
Mac Allister
Gvardiol
Chilwell

I can't see us signing Gvardiol AND a left back personally. An either/or situation for me.

Take Laporte out of the equation and we still have Ake, Dias, Stones and Akjani - add in a 5th world class CB (Gvardiol - who will likely cost world record CB money) and then a LB on top (Chilwell) and I struggle to see how we keep that number of players happy.

I think we would be able to offer enough game time between Ake and Gvardiol sharing the LCB/LB roles in the team.

Laporte leaves Gvardiol comes in as he can play cb and lb, also can play in a back three

Bellingham comes in Bernardo leaves

Mac Allister comes in Gundogan leaves, Kovacic if Brighton want to much

Then possibly a winger and I'm guessing a left back if Cancelo leaves

Have I got that right?

Unfortunately all 3 can't unless at least one of them is actually sold.

Hopefully they get promoted then Doyle, McAtee and THB at Burnley will get a season in the prem, to get a proper assessment of where they're at for city's level.

Speaking about Brighton their ceo said this about caicedo kinda worried how they are going to deal with Mac Allister

I can see us getting both (think its unlikley though) but gvardiol comes in a laportes replacement. I think pep wants 5 cbs, However the reason i can see us signing one is peps recent comments about player profiles and signing those which we dont have.

So gvardiol is coming into replace a player whos profile we currently have (so no change in squad).

I may be overthinking but i think it indicates we may sign a winger and a leftback.... because gvardiol bellingham and another CM are replacing players we already have.

However i could be totally wrong and just waffling lol

Who’s buying Laporte and Bernardo then? Barca are broke aren’t they by the look of it, Madrid? I doubt it, who else can afford them?

psg? for bernie and i can see cancelo going to real madrid (given recent comments about them needing a rb) and i think depending on the fee for laporte i think a few clubs such as psg even juventus is linked.
