Those names lifted off Marca, apparently. What sort of reputation does that station have; joke broadcaster, or reputable station?
Pep was sad to lose Kroos to Real Madrid. He is still young and I'd love to see him in our midfield, probably more so than Pogba.
Never liked his purchase. But he might just surI honestly don't think we'll shipping out as many players in one summer as we are inclined to think. Some of our players would probably stay one or two more seasons, before Pep completes his team. Besides, it's not like our players are earning peanuts for other squads to not even consider their asking wages.
The players I think would defo be gone next summer would be,
Nasri
Yaya
Demi
Bony
Finally, an opinion that disregards emotion.The players who I think will stay as important parts of the whole are as follows:
Hart
Aguero
Kdb
Sterling
Silva
Kelechi
Fernandinho
Otamendi
Everyone else is in trouble of getting sold in my opinion. Kompany I didn't include because I'm worried he can not stay healthy anymore.

That pretty much is the 8.
Everyone else is a maybe.
And regardless of who else gets to stay, I'd love it if we could get the following new additions
LB: Juan Bernat or Gaya (Ball playing LBs high on both)
RB: Bruno Peres or Fabihno or Piccini(Not as high on tge linked guy. But all are Multifunctional RBs)
CB: Armando Izzo or Jonathan Tah or Laporte/Stones ( not as high on the latter 2, but all ball playing CDs. The first 2 can actually defend)
DM: Julian Weigl or Xhaka (Ball playing DMs. high on Xhaka, intrigued by Weigl)
CM: Gundogan or Leandro Parades (Gundogan contract situation is great, but Paredes is an intriguing talent).
AM: Leroy Sane & Soufiane Boufal ( unike other positions, I am hoping for both)
This assumes we get neither one of Pogba or Neymar. If we do get either, we can drop the guy at their position.
That means 7 in. 6 out perhaps. Assuming no marque signing s. And by marque, I mean the biggest names (Messi, Neymar, Pogba etc)
I'll be most pleased with the following
Lb: Bernat
RB: Bruno Peres
CB: Izzo.
DM: Wiegl
CM: Paredes
AM: Leroy Sane
AM: Soufiane Boufal.
Not a lot of big names I know. But we'd be so much more talented with this squad.
Possession in the back and middle. And just pure scare the shit out of you talent in the front 4
Gk: Hart, Caballero, Lawler
LB: Bernat, Angelino
RB: Peres, Zab, Maffeo
CB: Kompany, Otamendi, Izzo, Denayer
DM: Fernandihno, Wiegl
CM: DeBryune, Silva, Delph, Parades
AM: Sterling, Sane, Boufal, Navas
ST: Aguero, Iheanacho
That would be my dream swqyad for a Pep managed City.
I find Piccini to be too much of a glass Cannon and hope we Can get our hands on Fabinho (Monaco) instead Also I'd love to see Wendell on our left side!Gundogan
Gaya
Stones
Sane
Pogba
Piccini
Weigl
Neymar
Huge over haul but required!! Hopefully the Chinese come calling for yaya and some of our other out going players!!
