I doubt Tagliafico would be any improvement on Zinchenko in our system and Ndidi might not be comfortable enough in possession to capture Pep’s attention.

I’d personally be delighted if we ‘just’ signed Haaland/Kane and Grealish + kept the likes of Laporte and Jesus. Someone like Bissouma would be a bonus as we need someone in the Kante mould once Fernandinho departs. Left back is more tricky. Maybe Digne, Gaya (?) or Mendes but I don’t see us signing a left back this summer.

Apparently Tagliafico has asked to leave, he is an improvement on both of our LB's imo. We shall see.
 
One for the “but we aren’t buying a striker, we play false 9 nowadays” crew. Straight from the Arabian thoroughbred’s mouth:

Chairman shares thoughts on City’s transfer policy

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak says he is confident Manchester City will find the right replacement for Sergio Aguero as he revealed the Club will also look to strengthen in other areas this summer.

Is it totally unlikely that PSG could try to get Pep again? They wanted him as the Tuchel replacement and tried. Could they want him again, and use that to convince Mbappe to stay?
We usually talk about how comfortable he has it here, but what’s really the effect this UCL defeat had on him and internally in the club?
Who else could PSG want if they have to replace Poch?

“Having won the league, it is not the time to sit back and be content. That would be your biggest mistake.

“This is the time to send a strong message, that there's no contentment, that you're not satisfied with just winning the league.

“That's great, but you want to win it again and you are committed and you are bringing more talent that is going to compete, not for the squad, but for the starting XI.

“We lose a very important legend in Sergio Aguero. They are very hard shoes to fill, but I'm confident that we will find the right player to fill those shoes.

“There are other areas within the group, within the team that obviously need investment. Not too many. It's not about numbers, it's about quality.

“I think the squad is a phenomenal squad. You don't win the Premier League and you don't reach the Champions League final if you don't have an incredible squad and we have that.

“We will bring quality into the squad in a couple of key positions.”

Hope that puts the ‘we won’t buy a striker’ nonsense to bed once and for all

Not a chance he is going to PSG.

Conte will go PSG or Zidane.

You would know more than me. I just know he’s getting on a bit and apparently lacks pace.

I’m sure we’ll have a great summer.

Conte, Zidane.
One thing about Pep is he is loyal to those who are loyal to him. He knows that going to work for the Qataris would be seen as a personal betrayal by Mansour and Khaldoon

Are you really suggesting pep will have his head turned by PSG?
And here's me thinking you're a poster with valid points usually.

As if pep would want to go, as if khaldoon would let him go.

Peps philosophy is we haven't won it this year, let's try to win it next year. Same as he takes each match game by game.

If they want to replace poch then big fat Sam and Eddie howe are looking for work.

Yes he is 28 so no spring chicken, I just want Mendy replaced and if Tagliafico is available i'd have a punt for a couple of seasons at the right price as anyone else would be silly money imo. Especially from the PL. I agree though, we should still have a strong summer.

What I am suggesting is that PSG might want to try to get Pep again, not that Pep would go. Sure, it could be Zidane and Conte as well. But they like big names.
Like I said, I don’t know how heavy this UCL defeat feels on him, and what he has heard internally. Could be heavy stuff. I probably would be thinking about it all the time since Saturday

He will have the summer off with his family, watch some of the Euros and be on the phone chatting to a couple players I think. Then back to the CFA for pre-season.

PSG will go for Zidane, appeases the locals and probably think Mbappe will sign on again.
 
PSG ended up very stupid to lose a one horse league race to Lille.
Fired Tuchel who got them CL final and league title last season, and delivered CL title to Chelsea in 5 months of work.

Now Pochettino wants to join a much weaker squad Tottenham where he was fired from instead of taking on the challenge of building PSg to top side in Europe win their first CL and win series of French title.

Quite embarassing for PSG right now imo.

They could opt for Conte or Zidane imo but reallly hope Mbappe does not sign that new contract. Players must feel shit that their manager does not want to coach them but wants to coach mediocre Spurs again.
