Money does not replace experience, mentality and desire.
I think all 3 will leave this window, the rest will have to step up and Tixki will have to work his magic.
I think the step up of Rodri, Dias, Walker into locker room leaders as well might soften the blow, the squad is filling with leaders who have been there and done it, over a few.This. I can respect the business side of football and want to see the club run on a healthy net spend, but as a fan I really couldn't care less how much a player sells for.
Also, whilst the likes of Gundogan and Bernardo can be replaced in regards to quality, their experience and big game mentality you can't replace easily..those qualities are worth £100's of millions. It's what wins trophies.
I just wonder if Gundogan, Bernardo and Mahrez all want out, I think the club might feel we have enough credit in the bank to risk losing them, rebuild this summer and see how it transitions next year. I think had we not won the CL, we couldn't afford to do that next season.
I guess we are going to see transfers gathering pace this week. Would love to see Gundo stay but have a feeling that he may feel now is the time to go.
There will be minimum £50 million up to £100 million in academy player departures. We had about three goalkeepers out on loan to championship sides (Muric and Steffen were two), plus a whole host of others like Harwood - Bellis. Depending on what we do with Doyle and McAtee we could easily reach the upper end. Although I’m hoping McAtee at least gets a chance here.We should have cash to burn without selling players mate? Bernardo and Mahrez could bring in alone £100-120m?

Everyone. We've done the lot, may as well start from scratch.Right, now we've won the treble who are we getting rid of?
