It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Doesn't have to be him we buy we might not be able to if it has to be paid in one go, though he would be my choice, just somebody. I'm sure we will.

For me Bruno is the only player out there who I’d feel comfortable could come in and deputise for Rodri from the start
I reckon we’ll have to rest Rodri at the start of next season

even if its two, the squad is running on empty and you could see it at the end of the season....

KDB cannot play every 3 days....he struggled even doing half a season and his performance levels suffered massively for it...especially in the big games - he was poor at times despite what the stats may say - Alvarez plugged that gap but again you could see the effect that it had on the team...I love alvarez as a striker but at a KDB replacement he is (understandibly) sadly lacking.

How Rodri has not got a major injury i dont know? we have been extremely lucky over the last 2-3 seasons with him.....he will play more games this summer so will have a shorter break than normal as well (same with foden - though hopefully with England being shit they may not go further than the last 16!)

Walker also looked at times to be struggling...he is super human but age catches up with everyone.

Nunes doesnt play - he could and I do like the look of him from the bits Ive seen but is he really good enough - did anyone really think he was good enough when we panic bought hm last summer?

If Lewis and Bobb both leave on loans as well as there are rumours around this...and if they dont are we pinning our hopes in the Prem and CL on two players who are essentially kids (especially Bobb) - dont get me wrong I rate both highly and Bobb looks like he could have Foden levels in him but we saw how long it took Pep to totally trust Foden.

People also forget the issue with Stones and his injuries - he has never been reliable fitness wise and it seems to be getting worse. ...Ake is also a bit injury prone....both of these are top performers and yet struggle for consistency in terms of appearances (Stones much more than Ake to be fair)

Bruno G plugs a whole (Dont rate him that much but he is a decent squad player) - if we get him

We need reinforcements and quality ones at that....for me its not about winning 5 in a row....if we do great but the overall performance level last year was down on the previous year...and yes we could but that down to a hangover from doing a treble which would be completely understandable but fitness/energy levels will play a part as well as drive and motivation.

Interesting comments. I too love Lewis and Bobb. I would be surprised if they are allowed to go on loan as I think they can both do a great job for us. Both levels higher than Doyle, McAtee etc. Unless they want to go a la Palmer, they will both be useful. I’m not a Guimaraes fan particularly, in fact I prefer Lewis, although he still needs time to develop obviously, and I’m not sure of his best position.

We seem to be talking in circles here.

We already said that IF nobody leaves, there is no space.

Then your saying people will come in since people are leaving... which we already said if people leave then obviously others will come in.

This is going in circles.

I'm saying people will leave
I'm also saying we will need a bigger squad and need 2-3 players regardless whether anyone leaves or not...
