It's quiet... summer 2018.

Is Bailey still on @tolmie's hairdoo Or is Mahrez the one? In your opinion, of course :-)

It's unfortunate it came to a head but it may clear the air. They are both good sources and it appears to me, they share news in good faith. Have to say, Sam is very good on the 93:20 pod.

You won't go far wrong taking TwoSips at his word on this one.

Might see both done before World Cup starts

If the transfers in are Jorg and Mahrez our starting squad for the new season should look like this.

Defence

Ed
Bravo
Walker
Danilo
Kompany
Laporte
Stones
Otamendi
Mendy
Delph

10 players for 5 positions

Attack

Fernandhino
Jorghino
Silva
Bernardo
Gundogan
Sterling
Sane
Mahrez
Aguero
Jesus
KDB

A total of 11 players for 6 positions, added to the squad Foden and Diaz and maybe Nmecha and Tosin re defence

If my sums are correct the above has 17 foreign sports 4 Home grown and of course the academy trained players. Zinchenko, Roberts as part of the deals for Jorghino and Mahrez. If the papers are correct over the values of Mahrez and Jorghino we could look at the prospect of an outlay of 150m. Offeset are the sales which depending on what we can get I suspect will amount to something like 50m.

I can't see Bravo being here. Sam Lee passed on that Gunn and Muric will be the backup.

Lovely jubbly. Cheers mate!

Appreciate whatever info you, @twosips or anyone can give, we all know what transfers are like. Don't let the dickheads get you down.

I think it’s possible Jorginho might have helped. They pressed us into mistakes and capitalized. I don’t know if Jorginho would have been better than what we had but it’s probably not crazy to think he could be a difference maker in that fixture

Probably true, but I can't help thinking Mbappe or Hazard would make even more difference.

Go to 4-2-3-1 with Jorginho and Ferna and see how they cope pressing 6 on 6 and leaving Sane/Sterling, Kev, Silva and Aguero/Jesus against their back 4...

Just waiting for that signature Jorginho chip.
