It's Quiet the £250m return

Outside of Savinho and Rico I think many could interpret that as Akanji and Gundogan too.

Nobody would be surprised if it was Khusanov and Nico Gonzalez though
I’m hoping it’s Akanji and Gundo, and tbh I reckon it will be.

We will see how much faith he has in Nico when he names team and then subs tomorrow etc.

Khusa will be valuable part of the squad, I have no doubts on that one.
 
I would like to think last year was an anomaly, even if Akanji went we’d still have 5 top centre halves in Dias, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol and Khusanov. Bearing in mind that now having Ait Nouri means Gvardiol doesn’t have to be left back.

Not many sides have that many central defenders.
That’s true. Stones and Ake have had there issues but we’d be relying on Khusanov, Gvardiol, Dias, Ait-Nouri playing a lot of minutes. And the new RB if we were to sign one.

This is what pep has always said. Small squad yes, players that can cover multiple positions at the very highest level make this possible.
 
his 'entourage' seems to be considering a straight exit for him.
I’m not sure. They want the move to Roma for whatever reason but Roma kept saying they wanted a buy option but we could still have a buy back. I’m sure city are working out a deal to send him there on a normal loan.

The kid is special hence why Dortmund also want him on loan with an option.

Roma qualified for the Europa League and City want him at Girona who didn't.
 
Viana is quite literally being ruthless. Sporting accounts said he was when he rebuilt Sporting but didn't expect this.

You have to say that it’s the right way to be. This squad needed an overhaul after the treble - last year was a relative disaster - so action needs to be taken to rebuild and rejuvenate the squad - and that has to be a good thing. We need an injection of quality players with a greater level of hunger and Viana seems to be targeting the right sort of players. Time will tell but he seems to be playing a blinder.
