It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Looking at our squad I think the only untouchable players are:

Defence: Dias and Gvardiol
Midfield: Rodri, Foden
Attack: Haaland, Savinho (goals WILL come) and Bobb

Stones and Ake are good enough when fit, but are too injury prone and can’t be relied on as long as Pep wants a small squad. Walker and Gundogan are 100% finished. Bernardo has wanted out for years, and needs to be replaced with someone younger who actually wants to be here. Kovacic is a little similar to Stones and Ake, but I hope he stays one more season. KDB has supposedly been training fully for 4 weeks but still can’t start a game? Can’t see the club offering 300k+ a week for someone who’s never fit. Although I personally rate Nunes it seems like Pep doesn’t. Doku is very lively and provides something different but needs to add more goals and assists to his game. Don’t think he will leave but is in no way untouchable if a huge bid came in. No idea what’s going on with Grealish lately, Pep seemed a little angry with him in that one press conference. I personally like Grealish, but like Doku, he should be adding more goals and assists to his game, but unlike Doku, time is not on his side
 
It's tough to buy players in Jan and tougher to expect them to be the difference makers. However, I would be happy if we get just one world class midfielder - It could be that just one really decent addition could make all the difference to the others and click this team into gear. We do not need 2 or 3 Phillips/Nunes type signings.

The bigger changes will come in the summer when Hugo wants to make his mark.
