If we do go and get Skriniar/De Light etc, we might decide that we have one CB too many, and Otamendi is more likely to leave than Stones, Laporte or Kompany
Pep loves him and he has just signed a new deal,vinny has 1 season left and will probably be injured again so whoever comes in with be phased in to his position,deleight is 18 isn't he? he will not be used instead of a seasoned prof as nico is
 
Tosin goes on loan, we have 5 CBs, often playing three at the back and then Vinnie leaves/retires next season.
5 is too many. At 4 it's already Abit of a problem. But because one of the 4, Kompany is often injured, it works out. It is simply unworkable with 5.

And the 3 CBs retort really doesn't work. Because we know, Dihno, Walker, Danilo and probably Mendy can play at CB in a 3. So you really don't need 5 CBs even if you are playing 3 at the back.

Getting a CB is pointless unless one is leaving. And we know none of them currently are. So the De Ligt discussion seems moot.
 
Now this would be a good signing!;)

According to Przegląd Sportowy, Robert Lewandowski has offers from Chelsea, Man City and PSG and is allowed to delay his arrival to the national team training camp in order to negotiate a transfer
I doubt we are interested in him. Just doesn't work unless we are selling Aguero.

We are not going to have 3 starting strikers for 1 position. And if we switch to a 352, it means Sterling, Bernado and Sane all get shafted and stunted. So that isn't going to happen eother.


As much as some may not like it, the way we are constructed just leaves us with some unchangeable constraints. And they are close to impossible to overcome.

Getting Lewandoski means losing Aguero. Thats the reality.
 
Vincent Kompany isn't going anywhere this season or soon.
I don't how people say player coach role as of its reality.
We do not have a place for CB even if Kompany isn't reliable bcoz he is 4 the choice .And a fit Vincent Kompany is a our best CB.
If we sign De Ligt,he stays there.Pep isn't forcefully creating a a place for CB
 
Adarabioyo, Díaz, Nmecha and Zinchenko could all find themselves leaving on loan or possibly permanently this summer. Outside of that Bravo is the only player we might look to sell, although we're likely to listen to any high offers for players such as Otamendi, Danilo and Gundogan.
We will not be listening to offers for Otamendi. Coz his financial value is grossly below his playing ability.

Being 30 means he'd Garner little financial interest coz he is deemed to have free years left. At best he is now a 15 million CB. That's just not worth selling him.

I reckon this is his last big 5 league club ( his next move will be for Money or enjoyment. I.e money-China/Japan/ Middle East/ or enjoyment - Porto/ Argentina/USA
