You're probably right but if whoever we chose was third choice behind Ederson and Steffen/Ortega then would it really matter as they're never going to play.Which one?
Gets said every year. Along with 'Walker can play keeper in CL if needed'.
Has never happened yet, pretty certain won't this year either. We will go with the 17 including the excess HG players.

They might have to play. It is not unthinkable that both keepers can be unavailable, through injury, lack of fitness, suspension, covid, or a combination of factors.

I thought he was very good in the later part of last season so for me I'd rather keep him a great squad player
People who think we could replace quality professionals with academy players are naive. We are not a kindergarten, but a top club. We cannot lose too many players because of depth and experience. We need depth. Nathan Ake if he could go, he has to be replaced. The same as Sterling and the others IMO. But better for him and for us to stay.

True but in the unlikely event that it did ever come to that then I'm not sure an academy keeper is going to be that much worse than a 37 year old Scott Carson.They might have to play. It is not unthinkable that both keepers can be unavailable, through injury, lack of fitness, suspension, covid, or a combination of factors.
I doubt any of this will come in to the equation anyway so I'll leave it there as I don't want to derail the thread too much.

didn't he say a few weeks ago he wants to stay?
Potentially going to lose two players who can play LB (Zinny & He who must not be named) so can't see City selling a 3rd for that position.

Seems to me like Pep is happy for him to go, he has often said, the only way to keep going and pushing for title after title is to get new players...
Ake, Sterling, Jesus were mostly non starters and probably not perfectly happy playing second fiddle. Chop and change

Depends if we sign a specialist LB like Cucurella imodidn't he say a few weeks ago he wants to stay?

He and Cancelo would then have that side locked down, hard to see where Zin gets games unless we push him into the midfield rotation. Which I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to tbh seeing his performances for Ukraine
