Easier said than done,convincing a very highly rated,much sought after,and incredibly ambitious,young keeper to sit on our bench for 90% of the season will be a very difficult ask.
Sell Bravo and have Gunn as our backup?
I thought about it but
Like @FantasyIreland said it won’t be so easy.
I don’t know if cup games will be enough for Gunn. Ederson will probably be number 1 for a long time.
I know people might not like it but bringing in Jonny Evans would because good move. He would replace mangala in the squad, bringing experience and leadership and also add another homegrown player into the mix. This would allow us to sell Delph and bring in another proper LB
Not that I want to sell Delph I really like him but it's clear that somebody needs to be sacrificed to improve the team further.
And how exactly would selling one of our most in form utility players improve the team further?I know people might not like it but bringing in Jonny Evans would because good move. He would replace mangala in the squad, bringing experience and leadership and also add another homegrown player into the mix. This would allow us to sell Delph and bring in another proper LB

Maybe I should have rephrased what I said. I like Delph a lot. I believe if guardiola is serious about keeping an English identity for the club then you need to keep guys like Delph. However my concern is with the number of both foreign and homegrown players. If my calculations are correct we have 16 foreign players.
Aguero
Jesus
B Silva
Sane
Silva
De Bruyne
Gundogan
Yaya
Fernandihno
Danilo
Kompany
Otamendi
Mangala
Mendy
Bravo
Ederson
Assuming we bring in Sanchez in january that will take up all our foreign players spots. Our homegrown players are
Sterling
Stones
Walker
Delph.
That is 21 player.
Now we could get rid of Yaya and Mangala but you would expect to fill their spots with players from that position, DM and CB respectively.
If my calculations are correct If we want to bring in a LB this window then we cannot bring in Sanchez without sacrificing somebody.
