Carabou cup surely? The thing I’ve never quite understood with Pep (and his thinking is stratospherically different to most people, I know) is why he doesn’t put a couple of young lads on, now and again, when we are 5 up with 10-15 minutes left? It’s almost always Aguero off, Silva/Sterling off and KDB off, with Mahrez, Jesus, Gundogan, Foden or Rodri on and sometimes for 5 minutes. That’s when the ‘boys’ might be worth giving a go, I’d have thought.

It used to be claimed it was both 'too risky' & that it would upset senior players (both bollocks).

Playing Garcia week in week out, in the most risky position bar goalkeeper, has put those arguments to bed.

It's by choice & imo wrong.

Still have to believe that we have 2-3 big signings left to conclude. Khaldoon was so sure in his interview that there will be more additions.

If that's the case, we're keeping our interests in other positions bloody quiet or its gonna cost us an arm and a leg given seasons have already started. There have been no rumours for any other positions other than CB, which is concerning.

I am from Lapland and I am deaf. I find this stuff offensive.

Khaldoon could have meant only Zack Steffen and another centreback, Koulibaly or whoever.

I doubt anyone else is coming but if there were, I’d say a leftback is the most likely position we add to. Aké is needed in central defence and should not be considered our new leftback. If he was, we would only have two high quality options at centreback (Koulibaly if he joins, and Laporte).

We’ve seen Angelino go, and hopefully Zinchenko soon. That’d give us Mendy as our only ’real’ leftback. I hope we can add Tagliafico to this position. Great leftback and I think his price is quite low. I am surprised no club bought him this window. Maybe he’s been earmarked for us?

People saying that negotiating for Messi, would not interfere with other transfers, because it involves 'different money' are deluded in that respect, I think.

It won't interfere with signing a cb or fullback, but it will interfere re strikers, attacking players & maybe even def mids, purely regarding squad balance & places.
