It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Leaving and wouldn't miss: Cancelo, Philips, Gomez

Leaving and will miss: Bernie

Incomings: Savio, Paqueta, Frimpong (or another CB if no change in style)

If we play a back 5, or just tilt our back 4, then those 3 incomings is all we really need with the current 4 who are likely to go.

If Pep doesn't want an attacking fullback, and just wants to keep doing the 4 CB thing, then instead of Frimpong it would be some righted CB I imagine, haven't clue who is popular, but somebody for Walker long term regardless.

Hearing about Musiala, Bruno etc, I don't see it unless somebody else leaves, and the only player I can possibly see leaving on top of these is Nunes (at best).
 
The bleedin obvs, Philips and Gomez are goners. "Dicky" Walker is on the wane and may want to go. "Bernardo to Barca" is like a media virus, how can that happen when they couldn't afford Cancelo ? Ortega has itchy feet. Tommy Doyle looks like he's gone for approx £5m ! absolutely astounding value compared to Nunes. There are approx 15 out on loan, but I can't think of one that will nail down a squad place for us, even Jimmy Mac has struggled due to the woeful squad at SUFC. That lot should bring £100m in.

If we have £150m in the kitty we could go shopping with £250m.

We already have Savio and Echeverri. Our left back blind spot is ridiculous, maybe just maybe it will get fixed for around £50m. At right back Frimpong looks likely with a £35m release. That leaves £165m for 2 or 3 others, hopefully one or two out of Bruno, Paqueta, Musiala and the Turkish Sergio look alike with a name beyond my spelling. If Ortega goes bring back Jimmy Trafford and start a transition between him and Eddy that should take 2 or 3 years to complete.
Txiki the nose will sort it.

We have the best set of left-backs in the world in Nathan and Josko :). More likely, I think we could get Jarrad Branthwaite, considering his rumours, the health status of Johnny Stones, the fact he can only give us so many games a season, and the new rumour of moving Akanji to RB full-time.
This makes the most sense. Don’t see any other incomings at the back. Walker Cancelo and Gomez to leave

Branthwaite feels more like a Man United signing to me. I think we can get better profiles outside of England. Diomande or Yoro come to mind. Issue is Yoro is Madrid's main target this summer, and Diomande has been getting some Newcastle links. These lads offer much higher ceilings than Jarrad and will likely incur similar fees.
 
30 y/o Bernardo out for £50m.

22 y/o Olise in for £60m.

Easy peasy. Bernardo gets the move he's desperate for, we rejuvenate the squad with a player 8 years younger who can play in midfield or the wing.
Do not think we are going to ask for £ 50 million for Bernardo, we do not want to price him out of the move he wants, i do like Olise and he does fill a quota, but i prefer John Kennedy, who i think is a fantastic talent, similar to Jesus, just a question, who is going to fill Bernardo`s Dynamism on the pitch?

cant see us putting an release clause and then asking for less.

Release clause was last year wasn`t it? we can not be seen as making hard, for players that want out to leave, especially loyal players who have pulled their tripe out playing out of position, that could have had consequences intentionally.
