Kyle Walker

Possibly, but just as difficult standing still with players who have mentally checked out or are a year older.

Players leaving will also send a message to other good players that City want them to be No.1, like when we convinced Haaland.

Foden needs more opportunities in the ten and right wing.

I think if we wait, we fall in to the Liverpool trap.

All these lads have been great for us, but they have achieved their dreams and a change of scene is understandable.

depends how many leave and how many come in though mate?

I'd be tempted to tell Kyle and Munich to do one. Let him go for free next year. Give us breathing space.

Ditto

Does anybody else feel worried about everyone wanting to leave??? I understand players want to get the big European clubs on their CV before they retire but it’s seems like something could be happening with the Premier League sanctions and the ones that can escape immediately are

I feel let down that the club is seemingly running away rather than publicly shooting these bastards and their slander down

You sound deflated

Don't you think it's hard for a team to bring in potentially 4 new faces and adapt to peps style. If mahrez and silva go you are talking more than 4 new faces. I don't think the squad currently has any depth of quality, has some young prospects. If city are to be a force next season they better get a move on.

We brought in 7 last summer. Didn’t turn out too bad

33 yrs old speed merchant with bad groins and 1 year left on his contract, sell if possible.

Reluctantly agree

Disappointing news, I think he's got a good couple of years left at the very top of his game.

Wonder if it means Laporte could stay? There doesn't seem to be loads of interest in him so it depends how happy he'd be to rotate for another year.

We could get by as a squad without fullbacks:

Dias
Stones
Aké
Akanji
Lewis
Gvardiol
Laporte

Aké, Gvardiol, Laporte (if needed) can play on the left, and Stones, Akanji, Lewis can play on the right.

Stones Ake and Akanji all prone to injuries. Still one short there imo. Walkers pace cannot be matched by anyone either

 

[SWP's back]

It's worked so far!

Sterling, Jesus, Zin.

I remember the meltdown on here last summer.

We brought in a £14m kid from Argentina and a bargain bucket from Dortmund.

Haaland is great, but he's not Messi.

The one thing Pep fears is stagnation. If these players are looking elsewhere, he already has his answer they aren't in the right mindset to go again.

The dressing room needs three or four new faces and we will get them.

Exactly mate.

The squad can’t get any smaller surely? Pep will want the Club World Cup too.Mind you I said the same last season and we won the lot.

If they replace the people properly with new faces there is no worry but not replacing them is the danger. Hopefully you are right mate

Yep, I was far more impressed with Bayern than I was with Madrid.

Once we beat Bayern, I was fairly certain we had won the trophy.

They lacked a striker. Kane and Walker gives the assurance from front to back.

Bayern are serious competition.
