Delph and Fernado's midfield role cab easily be covered by Garcia. Granted both currently show a little more defensive bite than Garcia, but I think his ball possession potential nullifies their advantage unless we a man down and are simply playing survive the last 20 or something like that.
Mendes ask 120m euro for Mbappe..
Mendes can ask for 300m euro - he's not Mbappé's agent!
He's got no agent currently, it's one of the reasons he's seen as so sensible and down to earth.
Mendes is tryingLike I said, he doesn't have an agent, Mendes has no involvement.
They both play DM. I already stated they do it differently. I don't think Pep fully trust Garcia yet, once he does, Fernado's role will be irrelevant outside of the above example I described. But my sense is if we buy correctly I.e the likes of Fabihno or Kimmich at RB, the Fernando role will become harder to justify.Pep's said quite a few times he sees Fernando basically as the muscle. Someone to come in and throw his weight around, break up play and make tackles. Sort of how he used Keita at Barcelona I guess.
Garcia can't replace him in the squad, they have totally different roles.
Fernando and Delph shouldn't both stay though, they're passengers basically, and I'm not even sure what Delph's niche in the squad is.
That's a lot of names on the out list. :(Right so:
Out
Yaya
Zabaleta
Sagna
Clichy
Navas
Delph
Fernando
Kompany
Aguero
Bravo
Denayer
Bony
Nasri
Mangala
In
Fabinho
Heinrichs
Isco
Dahoud
Mbappe
Ederson
That's at least £100m in sales and 3 of of our higher earners off the books. The purchases would be at least £180m (with Mbappe far and away the most expensive).
I would guess that Roberts and Mooy will be given chances next year. We would still have space for 1 Homegrown player and 1 foreign player. An English left back would be useful as that would allow space for another midfield or forward.
