It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I can't believe no one is linking us with a 6. We desperately need one to rest Rodri.

Could Nunes pace be useful at right back, should Kyle leave?

No. He should just go somewhere where he'll get a game in his position

Savio is the exciting unknown one for me....he looks full or raw talent, pace trickery and finishing.

Paquetta I dont think is going to help us maintain the level we have - he is a level below KDB, Bernardo, Foden Gundogan etc - is he better than Nunes - probably but still not at the level of others. He is a decent squad player but if we are looking for KDB's replacement then I dont think it is him.

Bruno. G - not seen anything of him to make me think he is at our level - probably a step up from Kalvin Phillips but that is about it.

Musiala - not seen enough of him to know...is he as good as the hype?

I think we have to replace Bernardo as it looks like he will go unfortunately. KDB will also need someone to come in and take the pressure off him as he cant play 3 games a week and we have seen what happens to our level at times when he is out for periods of time or just not at the races cause he is so tired and for me if its not Wirtz I dont know who.

Questions also over Walker's future - Akanji's form, Ricos development along with the purchase of Gvardiol has made him needing replacing less likely -BUT with the injury issues that surround John Stones at times would we be wise to get someone in?

Your post is incredibly arrogant. Paqueta and Bruno G both start for brazil and are both their teams best players wed be a better team with both

Here's my prediction for the window, the OUT list including transfer and loan fees will bring in approx £150m. The IN list will cost approx £280m, so a net spend of £130m. An increased squad size will be needed for the additional ECL and World Cup games.

Agreed! Pep is also desperate for both and he seemingly is pushing to get his top targets this summer

And end up with plan C or D in the list of players,we need our main targets for next season..

Totally mate. Pep seemingly wants both Bruno G and Paqueta so the club should just get them? If it’s true the club expect to get over £200m in sales again this summer then these two at full clauses would be £185m so we would still be in credit?

Bruno is supposed to be the 6/8 solution. But remains to be seen whether we can do a deal with Newcastle.

That number seems crazy right now because Phillips, Cancelo, Sergio Gomez, some academy lads. Can’t see it amounting to much. We’ll obviously get more decent money for Kabore, McAtee, Harwood-Bellis. But not sure it reaches 200m.

Newcastle need to sell. Easy deal to make if we wanna spend 100m
