This could be a crazy summer!

That would be a bloody awful summer.

We need quality replacements if we lose any first teamers, we already have a small squad and will play even more games next season. McAtee and Kovacic nowhere near the level required, especially when you look how we’ve already missed out on Bellingham, Rice and Mac Allister, all of whom would have been the level we should be looking at. And Walker is still the best full back in the league, would be fucking stupid to let him go.

Didn't pep say winning teams need to evolve, a winning team needs new players, or something like that.

Maybe this summer we get some new players in and the team evolves again.

Pep said he needs to see the hunger and the motivation. If Walker and Mahrez sulked they are out I think

If you read the drivel that Lee posted and change the verb form from the present perfect has been disappointed, which is Lee's spin, to the past simple was disappointed, which is the reality, it makes more sense. The final part Maybe the time is right for him to move is pure supposition on Lee's part in an effort to fabricate a story.

More generally, if Walker was in decline he wouldn't currently be with the England squad, and if we had faced AC Milan and not Internazionale in the final, Guardiola would have have started him so as to blunt Leao. When Walker does leave on a free next summer, he'll be well set, and if we can retain the title next year, he'll leave with a haul of medals he could only have dreamed about at White Hart Lane. He already knows what first-hand what it's like winning nothing, and I don't think he''ll be leaving this summer to reacquaint himself with that experience.

Take that all in but age catches up with everyone and he will have less game time next season! I want him to stay though just for his experience it be up to him though..
 
way too many of our players are linked with a move away for my liking. other than cbs most players take a year to get comfortable in Peps system. next year might be a down year
 
If Mahrez and Bernardo leave that's the entire right hand side of our attack gone, that's major surgery to replace,

Yes he said this, I believe it was an interview with Rio Ferdinand it might of said it several times. Asked him how many players were there at the start and then the finish and then said the same about Barca and City.

If there's one summer to change the team it's this one the amount of prize money we've won, we can get who we want as replacements.

Especially if Pep does intend on staying only another 2 years. No point sitting on the squad we have, lets give Pep a refreshed squad and two years to get the best out of them.

Maybe it`s Pep that wants a complete overhaul? Obvs he would prefer Bernardo to stay but the rest maybe he wants to completely challenge himself with the next gen of top class young players whom he can take up levels?
 
So Walkers is basically competing against Akanji for that right sided spot. Stones as made midfield his own and Lewis probably plays there as well. I love Akanji and he’s been great but I’d rather play Walker there and keep him. Rotate Akanji throughout the defence.
 
Also if we have a complete overhaul it would make more sense to me that Pep will stick around for a bit. Every chance we still win it all with a new team over the next two years but can’t see him leaving if it’s not working how he wants. That’s what motivates him.

This overhaul, if everyone reported leaves, is beyond logical imo

The thing is Akanji has that killer pass. Which we saw in the champions league final, against a parked bus Akanji can find a opening. That's why he played. Probably why Pep plays him all the time

He’s a great player he really is.
 
Walker likely to leave according to Sam Lee and the Athletic

Will be a very hard player to replace, offers something that no other right back in the world can. When up against a world class winger he pockets him
