Peps Targets

[g180aj]

wendell, Thiago, gundogan, Messi, Laporte, sane

My guesses for pep signings

Edited it for you, if Isco doesn't come now he never will.

If we go to a 4-3-3 can De Bruyne play as a wing, or as a CM? It seems to me He's possibly our best player, but I'm not sure if he really fits in that formation.

Furthest forward of the middle 3 would be perfect for him if he cleaned up his first touch on the ground a little. It would actually suit him better than behind the striker imo as he'd have a better view of the pitch.

My picks

Stones/Laporte: In | Mangala: Out

Carvajal: In | Zabaleta: Out

Amavi/Gaya: In | Clichy: Out

Pogba: In | Yaya: Out

Andre Gomes: In | Fernando: Out

Sane: In | Navas: Out

Average age in: 21.3 | Average age out: 29

If we sell Clichy we will need a HG player to replace him. Or else too many foreign players. We will definitely need Stones and will have to play premium. So it's probably better to sell Kolarov and keep Clichy.

Funny how PG has all these targets for us when the RagDipperMeedya have him strutting his stuff down Carrington.

Yea but then what of Silva? Could the 2 of them play in front of a single DM at the back? I'm obviously a yank with minimal football knowledge, but I'm eager to be educated. If it helps I liked City before the takeover because: The City fans I worked with in Singapore were the best/funniest, I'm a UNC alum and liked the colors, and I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon of a United type front-runner. Ever since I've become a fan (2007) City have improved so you can thank me for that, no doubt. In the last 4-5 years I've been able to watch on TV easier than I can most American sports, and have gotten pretty into it.

Now please go about telling me how it is, because to my untrained eye we have 2 world class players in Silva and De Bruyne who seem mutually exclusive in a Pep system.

Lewandowski, Reus, Pogba, Verratti - in The summer- 250£ mil, Money that we have. With Denayer, Maffeo and Angelino in The squad we should know by The winter where we stand with The defence.

Maybe a HG keeper to replace Willy. Like you said, I think it has to be Stones, he would thrive under Pep.

Depends on who's behind them really. If Barcelona got away with Xavi and Iniesta as part of a three and Yaya backing them up there's no real reason why we shouldn't be able to use KDB and Dave in front of a good screening midfielder.

cant we play de bruyne in a midfield 3 wide right with fernandiniho and gomes then 3 forwards
