When did Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden retire?

Although in essence I agree Grealish wasn't as much of a "luxury signing" as some have suggested (including myself in the past), especially if Bernardo is off.

I think we can write Bernardo off, judging by the lack of involvement.

For people questioning Jack's signing, did you wonder about the midfield today? It's Kev and Gundogan, then Grealish, that's it. Full stop. The rest are wingers or part of a front 3. A 36 year old Fernandinho, and Rodri as two defensive midfield options. Left back equally laughable, because it's Zinchenko now, and then just makeshifts, or Mendy.

Hes makeshift too. For all the attacking talent we have there are some glaringly obvious weaknesses

absolute nonsense at this point. Zinchenko has won 3 premier leagues and started a champs league final at lb.

He’s not makeshift. He’s played more games at lb for one of the worlds top teams than he’s ever played elsewhere at a high level.

Bernardo didn't get a minute today, wants out, Foden doesn't play in our midfield as much.

Literally 4 free transfers, including the greatest player of all time

Barely free transfer though, those 4 will cost them more than £200m per year just in wages.

Neymar and Messi costs them the same per year in wages that we have paid for Grealish.

Gundo needs to drop back and became the #1 sweeper, Dinho needed to retire, Lavia promoted and Sterling on the bench.

Gundo as a number 6 against anything other than cannon fodder teams is a no no......he had a great season last year playing in his better position.....put him as a number 6 against decent teams and he will get exploited

The team needed a refresh this summer and I never for one thought just Grealish and Kane sufficed. We lack pace. The core of the side is slow and we're vulnerable to the counter.

You can’t replace players until the incumbents are sold. Unfortunately we don’t get many bids. Pep alluded to this when he said there are 3 or 4 who want to go. Easier said than done.

This is why it was so important to replace Sané

I know, but he can't be worse than Dinho today, that was a disaster and Plodri is no better. We're desperate if Fern is now that bad.

Eh. Foden helped us deal with Sterling's lack of form for sure. Can't call it a direct replacement, hardly the same attributes either.

i’m probably Sane’s biggest fan on here, but Foden can more than match him for pace inside of what Pep asks of players and is technically better.
 
I think we need a CDM. Fernandinho is 36 Rodri is good but is not Fernandinho. Bissouma does really remind me of Fernandinho,would be brilliant in our side
