Ha, maybe it's overly optimistic. There will always be injuries though, and a need for rotation.

Pep will have a serious job on in persuading some big players to go along with rotation! That's why he gets the Big Bucks eh!Ha, maybe it's overly optimistic. There will always be injuries though, and a need for rotation.

Reckon that could be pretty close, although I think another centre half is more likely than Semedo. If I was to take a speculative punt on our squad next season/what I'd like to see, I'd go for something like this:
Ederson
Bravo
Gunn
Walker
Kompany
Van Dijk/Bonucci
Otamendi
Stones
Kolarov
Mendy/Sandro
Fabinho
Fernandinho
Toure
Gundogan
Mooy
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Sane
Roberts
Aguero
Jesus
Sanchez
Amazing squad but surely too many big names to keep happy ric?

Surely most players now accept the need for rotation? Assuming we do OK in the cup competitions you're looking at 50+ games. Plenty of opportunities for almost everyone to get significant game time.

It's not just that Pep said Aguero is staying, it's how he said it. He launched into the press and would look totally undermined if he were to go.

Yeah, probably. To be honest I'm sceptical about our chances of getting a few of the names on that list.
Is this mostly speculative or are the new names all there due to whispers you've heard?Reckon that could be pretty close, although I think another centre half is more likely than Semedo.

Are you confident about Sanchez Ric?
Not especially. Him, Sandro and Bonucci the least likely on that list I would imagine.

Ederson..probably, as all the quotes seem positive
Bravo
Gunn
Walker... he's leaving spurs for sure so yes.
Kompany
Van Dijk/Bonucci.. don't think either will be here
Otamendi
Stones
Kolarov
Mendy/Sandro...Sandro possibly
Fabinho
Fernandinho
Toure
Gundogan
Mooy..not good enough will be sold
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Sane
Roberts,. will stay at Celtic
Aguero
Jesus
Sanchez..will go to Bayern

So do you think we'll only sign three players, or if not who do you think are more realistic targets?

I'm confused.
You're saying the best players on the list you gave will be least likely to come here and you're not especially confident.
Yet Tolmie is bullish and saying we're gonna have the best summer transfer window ever.

I'm an eternal pessimist.

I wasn't being critical of what would be an amazing squad it is really just taking in all the noise and tattle on here, in the press and getting a personal feel.
For example with Sanchez he wants to win stuff, Robben and the french guy are running out of steam, Sanchez would be ideal and he would win things. He would probably rather not fuck off Arsenal fans by coming to us. In addition he would be pricey for a player not much younger than Kun. Taking all that into account ..
I think we are more likely to push the boat out for Mbappe.
Maybe with all our young players Bonucci might be a sensible idea and after 5 leagues in a row he might be looking for new horizons but do Juve really want to sell us both him and Sandro.
So Ederson, Walker, Bonucci, Mendy, Fabinho and Mbappe it is.

I think this will be our squad next season. I personally can't see us buying a centre back
