It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Pep would know far better than me but I didn’t see anything in Phillips game yesterday to see him being a starter in our side… I know he looks low on confidence but he just doesn’t make himself available to receive the ball in all situations as Rodri does…

That and every player that comes in is a project for Pep, but I think this might be a case of being too much of a project, especially in the spine of the team.

He loses the ball too much.. we won yesterday but could easily have lost with how many times we were sliced open by counter attacks and chances.

The win papered over the cracks but they're really apparent.. especially when Pep openly says the Southampton game was the worst one he's seen in 7 years.

just not sure on Kovacic - he is a good player but is he good enough ......?

Bellingham we all know is potentially a very good player but may take a bit to adapt as he is young and more experienced players have taken time to adapt to Pep and his ways.

Gvardiol - dont know enough about him....didnt look great against us and looked slow and cumbersome but then again our attack can make anyone look like that.

Bernardo 70m
Laporte 40m
Mcatee 25m
Doyle 18m
Harwood Bellis 18m

Do we think these are these roughly the values we’d expect if we sold them this Summer?

Bernardo 70m
Laporte 40m
Mcatee 25m
Doyle 18m
Harwood Bellis 18m

Prob slightly lower as well want a buy back on the bottom three.

Lavia - Phillips
Gvardiol - Cancelo and Laporte
Bellingham/CM - Bernardo
McAtee coming back - Palmer going on loan
A winger in. Gnonto could be a shout with Leeds likely to go down.

Top 3 on that list all downgrades in my opinion

Great news!!

7 seasons, which would mean 7 seasons for Guardiola. Hopefully, both would make it a decade.

If Bernardo leaves then with all due respect Kovacic in really is a downgrade!
