Yep. Olmo does make sense - why spend all that money on Eze when you could potentially get a Musiala or Wirtz next summerIt would make sense considering our serious Bruno interest. If we are paying 100m for Bruno, he will start most games. The only way that happens is if we lose one of our starters. In this case, sadly it seems it's going to be Kevin :(.
With Bruno next to Rodri, we would get more goals from the two of them. If Bruno stays behind, Rodri could do more Yaya-like runs and probably score 15+ goals. Bruno is very capable of scoring as well.Too much of a creative burden on Phil - we’d definitely need someone else

Like I say , I have no idea who, but somebody like Olmo, rather than a big name big price player makes sense. Foden is the KDB replacement,whether Kevin goes this summer or next. Even IF Kevin stays a year I think by the end of the season Foden would be established as first choice.Jack/Jeremy/Oscar/Bernardo for 2 spots as it stands, but we need Bernardo in the middle sometimes, and there are some rumours that Oscar could go to Newcastle for a year. @Shazza458 could be right about Olmo, IMO. He wouldn't expect to start every game but has the experience at a relatively young age, technical ability, knows a bit of Pep's style from La Masia, and has the versatility.

I'm not that averse to Kev moving on providing Saudi do offer us silly money. He still has moments of sublime quality but also a lot of non existent performances in his older age. We've had his best years and he's a fucking legend of the highest order, whatever happens this summer. I think City will accept a huge offer, so it's in Kevin's court now
I agree. It adds up.Like I say , I have no idea who, but somebody like Olmo, rather than a big name big price player makes sense. Foden is the KDB replacement,whether Kevin goes this summer or next.

I reckon Bernardo will be off summer 2025 - Olmo could take his spot then we’d have spaceIf we did that who would Musiala or Wirtz be replacing next summer?

Yes, though think there is a decision to be made after pre season whether Bobb or Savio go on loan.I agree. It adds up.

I presume we’re basing this on the assumption Pep stays post summer 2025? Next manager might want a bigger squad?
