It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I'm convinced that Pep really likes small squad and looking there's not a plan to beefying squad further with our incoming and outgoing this transfer window. Our squad size relatively same as last season is reinforcing my belief on this.

Last season ended with several weeks of KDB playing although clearly injured. Also, everyone thought Philips would get chances. Not many would agree now.

Even if Pep is given a bigger squad, he will play at most 15 players who is seen being a regulars while the rest is just get barebones in cups or odds league appearances.

Pep will always manages the squad this way for many years and being very successful at it. i doubt he will start to changes for this season and couldn't careless how some fans think about it.

Remember he complain the lacks of substitution that can be used in single match in PL two years ago, yet when the new rules introduces to allow more substitution he still doing the same thing like he did before and not using his substition more often enough.

Which makes me think having bigger squad is useless when Pep will not playing all of them enough to rotate for season.
 
City got 3 ball carrying wingers that have no idea what the back of the net looks like, Foden excepted. We've just let go of our only direct winger in Palmer. Unless Haaland has another smashing season, the goals keep coming and the other clubs don't adjust tactics to thwart him we are looking at a lot of pain waiting for Grealish and Bernardo to score goals. Don't even get me started on Doku who scored a grand total of 6 goals in the freakin French league. At this point I'd play Foden as much as possible to hone his shooting boots.
I like Cole, but let's not pretend he's proven.
The lad made 18 PL appearances across the last 2 seasons, mostly from the bench when the game was won.
The way we play goals will not be a problem imho
 
Go and throw the bank at Mitoma. We would piss the league if we can get him with Grealish, Mitoma, Bernardo and Doku on the wings

Yeo. 50 mil for someone who has never scored a Prem Lg goal. Chelsea are crazy
 
While another would be nice- probably in the wide positions. I’d suggest we have a younger, more versatile squad and brought in the fresh legs and new ideas we needed.

- Bernardo out wide to replace palmer
- nunes replaces Bernardo inside
- kovacic for gundogan
- Gvardiol for Laporte
- Doku for mahrez

Good summer!
