Massive Rebuild Next Summer - Rate Our Side

I actually think we have a really good spine of the team. Dias/Gvardiol Rodri/Foden Haaland/Marmoush. Really good young prospects aswell. Rebuild the midfield and get a full back and we will win the league again. I don’t think a massive overhaul is needed.
 
His comments in the embargoed section of the presser suggest anyone incapable of staying fit will be out the door this summer.

That’s why I don’t agree that Bernardo will leave. Yes, he’s a shadow of his former self but he’s never injured.

Not sure Stones and Ake will both leave in the same window but I’d say it’s the end of the road for Jonny if a good offer comes in.

It isn't that simple though, we probably need 7 to leave to bring in 3. Problem is which players we want to leave other than KDB is only about a third of the decision, the other 2 thirds are down to clubs wanting the players and the players wanting to go to the clubs that want them.
So it makes Bernardo more likely than some others.
 
Its offical we can no longer retain our title. Question now is do we rebuild and come back with a vengeance, or Is our era over

hahaha do you think the club will sit back untill were performing like southampton, the rebuild started last January, our era is far from over infact were just starting another chapter
 
Can see Bernardo, Grealish, McAtee, Nunes, KDB, Kovacic + both GK leaving and 1 of Stones/Ake.
Buy: 2 full backs , 1-2 central midfielders, a 10, 1-2 GK.
The wildcards for me are Kovacic , Nunes and Stones/Ake. Stones is homegrown and Ake is left footed and could cover the new LB. Then again it’s WC season and they might want game time. Nunes is the easiest to sell and won’t get game time here at his best position. Kovacic is actually a good backup for another 2 years but with Gundogan staying he isn’t safe
The club needs another 5-6 new players in this summer while leaving out like 7 as harsh as it sounds
 
Don't see a massive rebuild at all as we will struggle to get players out

Stones
Ake
Gundo
Kovacic
Bernardo
Grealish
Possibly doku

All need to go but think they all leave on frees wen contracts are up.

Think we Possibly add a left back maybe a keeper if eddy goes and a new number 10

I'd imagine the team to be something like

Eddy

Kushanov
Dias
Gvardiol
New full back

Rodri
Gonzalez/oreilly
Foden

Bobb
Haaland
Marmoush

That would be just 2 homegrown and 1 U21. Losing Walker, Grealish, Stones and Ake from the home grown list.

Jamie Jackson commented that City had brought in 4 players in Jan. and wondered if 4 more was around the number City were looking for in the Summer. And Pep responded with I don't know and justified it on the grounds of he doesn't know whether his players will be fit.

Out the door is only practical if City pay such players off because no clubs will bid for them if they are injured. I prefer to believe that these players will recover after operations / rest.
 
As Pep pointed out we have won titles before whilst playing players out of position e.g., Delph and Zinchenko played at left back, and now O'Reilly is playing there. None were or are left backs. In football, you can come up with solutions.

Our fix for right back is to play Rico or Nunes there. That isn't working. KDB is going, we can hope Echeverri develops but we cannot plan on it.

The minimum requirement is a right back and attacking midfielder.

At the moment I don't think we can consider Khusanov as a right back. If we're playing a dominant left winger then he can play there because we have seen that his defensive game is very good. Khusanov will either be a right sided centre back, or he will have to work a lot on his attacking game to play at right back.
 
One other position we ned to look at is that of goalkeeper. I'm afraid given his performances this season we cannot rely on Ortega and Ederson is becoming slightly injury prone. I wonder if Trafford could be persuaded to come back.

Agree don't think that many is interested to take on the wages of those guys, but is any of them out of contract?

Really liking Psg fullbacks Nuno Mendez and Hakimi to bad they are in Psg. But it will be a very important summer the new n10 must be massive.
