Bit harsh that, he was a hugely talented young player, but he really exploded under Pep's management.
Maybe he would have anyway, maybe not to the same extent, but i'm sure Messi would say Guardiola had a big impact on his career.

Signing a new no.1 stable GK has to be a priority alongside new FBs of course.. Can't have another season where it's a toss on who's starting the next game from game 1.And no,Pickford certainly isn't the answer..He is a sideways move to Hart.He certainly doesn't improve the squad one bit.
Donnarumma or Ederson is the answer.

Ederson could help Gabriel Jesus settle in & has Champions League experience

sanchez would not be an upgrade he would be a welcomed addition ,not many players would be an upgrade on Sergio.
The only players who never go missing are Silva and Aguero. He might miss chances but you best believe he has the most competitive mentality in the team so why not ship him out.
He's had an off year for sure but has still found goals somehow. Imagine if he'd been on. We'll probably never know.
We will watch him win champions league with Madrid next year that will be nice.
Enough of me whining.
The real fear is when Aguero leaves and we replace him with an 18 year old who has scored 14 goals this year and another 18 year old who will be playing his first year in Europe... you are banking on peps philosophy to the extreme when we all know players win games.
Just look at Messi. He is barcas success not Pep.
Silva hasn't gone missing tbf but the rest of them have. Where have they been when we needed them the most? Monaco away? Liverpool away? Spurs away? Southampton at home? That's just to name a few. Having said that I think we'll be a lot better next season when we get the right players. I think at the moment Pep's playing a system that doesn't fit the current players we have. You look at the line up against Middlesbrough on Sunday, Clichy and Navas are shit wing backs. If we had say Mendy or Walker we would've played a lot better in the first half.
As for the second point, I wouldn't fear losing Aguero to be honest. We've coped well whenever he hasn't played i.e due to injury or suspension. Its just a matter of who we bring in. I think if we bring in Mbappé, Pep will be thinking about the future rather than the present. Both Mbappé and Jesus will terrorise premier league teams and Europe for the next decade or so.
My only fear is who we sign as our fullbacks. I pray we don't get both Walker and Rose. I'd prefer it if we got Fabinho and someone like Grimaldo or Hernandez who'd cost half the price of Walker and Rose.

Whilst I am not exactly enamoured with the idea of Pickford, we have been burnt massively with purchases of promising players from Portugal.
The Premier League has a very good track record of proving to be very difficult in adapting to adapt in regards to goalkeepers coming from continental Europe, in particularly from Latin countries.

Messi is easily the best player going today and arguably the greatest of all time but one player does not make a team. He was/is the driving factor but a little more respect is due to the likes of Iniesta/Xavi/Busquets and even Pep for the system implemented which absolutely dominated the game.

I really don't see this idea of Sanchez being a direct replacement for Sergio.
Sanchez isn't a central striker for me and if brought in he would be put on one of the wings.
Pep barely played Sanchez as a CF at Barca.

If anyone is replacing Aguero it is Jesus and even at that, Jesus is flexible. People aren't seeing the bigger picture, Pep clearly prefers flexibility within his squad.
