Our glaring weakness at LB, will it be fixed?

Ryan Bertrand from Southampton? I know he's English but he has been superb in every game I have seen him in this season.

too old and doesnt have enough passingskill. Pep will be trying for Alaba but it wont really happen. Players like Bernat, Gaya, Sandro and Wendell are players he will realistically go for. We saw today that Kolarov and Zabaleta, especially Kolarov, doesnt have it in them to be here next season. that also goes for clichy. we need 2-3 new fullbacks and using Angelino n Denayer (who can player there can centrally brilliantly) as backups will be prefect for a high-pressure system with new young legs. AND as important as the fullbacks are in Peps system we CANNOT afford to keep going with Kolarov, Clichy and Zabaleta anymore.

True and the midfield needs revamping as well.

I expect at least one DM who will slot straight into the side next season.

Part of the reason we are overrun by too any sides is we don't have mid fielders who protect and keep hold of the ball when needed and can track the runners from the opposition and that has to change because we give up too many soft goals as a result.

Hence the signings of Xhaka n Gundogan would make alot of sense while selling yaya and fernando. Too slow and too clueless in the system atm. Yeah we do need some, 4-7 new players.

I keep following Leverkusen this season for one reason: wendell. Amazing alaba 2.0

Wendell Borges - great shout! Only problem is he's not a full International. Fabinho on the other flank from Monaco nearly happened last summer so I can see that one being resurrected.

That rather depends on the price as to whether he is too old (27 at start of season 2016/17. Right on the cusp I admit, unless the value is good. And I totally disagree about his passing ability it is top notch.

Fabinho hasnt been good this season at all and if we wantd him we'd get him last summer. Wendell isnt starting in the national team cuz of Sandro, Marcelo etc... its hard. But under Pep he will grow to a potential Alaba.

Bertrand isnt good enough for City.

Bertrand is absoloutley nowhere near good enough and definitely not intelligent enough to play for Pep.

We have players who protect but not enough ground covering midfielder who win the ball
