but if we wait that long it would leave not much time to get used to a new club and system, because the new season will be starting a couple of weeks after champions league mini tournament and no pre-season

Sorry have to disagree with you.

Stones on top of his game is the better centre half at present. Ill conceed that Stones hasnt been at the top of his game for a while but the potential is there and it more of a mental issue i think with Stones plus the injuries that have led to lack of game sharpness

I see your point but he’s had one good season out of four. That’s just not acceptable. His mistakes also reappear every season, it’s like he never learn from them. It seems he has some mental or personal issues but in all honesty, that’s not the clubs responsibility.

Pep would never have signed Aké if he believed in Stones. I expect him to leave this window. He’s had more than enough time to get his personal affairs in order.

I don't disagree, but some of the clubs we'll be negotiating with aren't going to sell first XI players while they are still alive in the CL. It's not ideal but it's the same situation for everyone.

would a good shot stopper of tried to save sons shot in champions league with his feet ?? How am I wumming ?? It’s a opinion , ederson is the perfect keeper for us how we play but shot stopping isn’t he’s best attribute

He is a perfectly good shot stopper,pointing to the odd example doesn't make it less so,he has made some incredible saves

players have to leave to make room and that won't happen till we are out of the cl in case we need them,A ke is on holiday and Torres is having his medical in spain

This bit is wrong. one plays on the left side, the other, on the right. in Peps system, and the requirements he has, they may as well be entirely different positions. He hates being forced into playing a right footer on the left when Laporte is unavailable, now we will hopefully finally have a right 2/2 balance he won’t be playing a left footer on the right unless absolutely necessary or we see a back 3.
