It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I have been away for a while, are we still standing by our beds?

I am mate :-)

Keep the squad as it is. And I don’t think we’re in a spot of bother at all.

Ederson/Ortega

Centre back options as of now

Walker/Akanji Dias/Stones Ake/Laporte

Traditional fullbacks/inverted midfielders.
Rico Lewis, Sergio Gomez

Midfield:
Rodri, KDB, Bernardo, Kovacic, Foden, McAtee

Attack:
Haaland, Alvarez, Grealish, Bobb

That’s not even considering the versatility of Walker, Stones, Lewis, Foden, Alvarez, KDB, Akanji etc. all can play in multiple positions.

I’ve not included Cancelo on purpose because imo that one’s a certain goner and there is no way back for him.

Not too chaotic for a treble winning side’s follow up season is it?

No squads to small. Experienced players aka Mahrez need replacing by more experience and hunger. We can't rely on too many youth players and doing so could hurt us.

I believed we were short last season and if it wasn't for our superb medical team keeping them all injury free it would have shown.

15 1st team players in your squad club would be bonkers to go with that.

They also have the disposable income to throw at it and then say “meh, whatever” if it does fail.

Wasn't the Chinese league collapse due to the luxury tax being imposed

Why did you leave your bed in the first place?
Can you not follow orders?

Can anybody actually see us making another signing this summer?. Even if Walker and another goes I just think it's all too quiet with regards to players linked. As the squad stands we could probably lose another two first team players but definitely no more

I look at it like a house sale where not everyone in the chain is ready to exchange contracts just yet, but once they are, completion will quickly follow

Gvardiol will do for me pal, squad complete

We need a Mahrez replacement or if Bernardo is going to play wide another midfielder.

That is a terrible squad to face 6 competitions. You only have 13 players who would fight for being in the first 11 (Ederson, Akanji, Stones, Dias, Ake, Walker, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, KDB, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland, Alvarez), 1 that is a good player but doesn't work on this system (Laporte) and a bunch of unproven players (youngsters + Gomez and Phillips).

Pep likes small squads, but if anyone thinks Pep likes this or even last seasons size, they are delusional. Our medics are great, but our luck with injuries last season was a miracle that it is unlikely to repeat again. With our current squad we are literally 2 injuries away from having to play the same players in every PL and UCL match.

Majority of the season rotates around the core players it’s not a big deal at all.

I’m confident we’ll sign a winger before the end of window.

i think its why we havent had confirmation of Mahrez leaving? Not allowing it to happen until we have our replacement sorted.
