Leroy Sané

I don’t miss his sulking when he didn't buy in to clear ‘team‘ instructions or his determination to get away from the club!

Had some excellent attributes, was electric on the break and scored some big goals for us, but we had no choice but to let him go and move on.

Using your logic .
We replaced Bravo with Ederson
Nolito with Sterling
Mangala with Luis

Easy this isn’t it ?

we did replace Bravo with Ederson, it was a big improvement

Nolito and Mangala were never starters under Pep

Yea it is quite easy to see that current key first team players are a massive downgrade from the old ones

How do you replace Kompany, Yaya, Silva etc without spending £300m plus? It’s virtually impossible nowadays and regardless of what we think, we are still not seen as one of the big clubs so why would the best players in the world want to come unless it’s for money?

In Sane’s eyes he has gone to a bigger club. It’s like when Tranny left the rags and went to Madrid. I’m sure they didn’t want to lose him either but they had no choice because he wanted to go. Sane wanted to go.

We have signed players who we hope will become the next Sane/Kompany etc but they might not. That’s the risk. If we want to sign players of De Bruyne’s stature then they will cost us £120m maybe more now. Have we got the money to do that?

Most of our signings over the last few years haven’t been great and Liverpool’s have been better, hence the reason why they are where they are. However most of theirs were reasonably priced and that’s what we need to find. It’s hard though as every club is looking at these players.

The biggest issue isn’t replacing Sane, think Torres will do that, think Dias will replace Kompany over the next year, and probably play more. Not David but think Foden will continue improving.
The biggest issue this season is Aguero’s fitness, I would guess we have a replacement in mind, I’d guess he’s a top level player if he’s good enough to be Aguero’s replacement and expect to be playing and that person was either not available this summer , or we couldn’t afford him this summer, or we simply couldn’t find space in the squad and keep 3 strikers happy. Problem is how fit can we keep Aguero in his last year.
Think next summer we’ll see Aguero replaced, a left back and Fernandinho replaced. Only then can we judge how our rebuilt team looks compared to the team of the last 9 years.
