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:

 
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.
