Anyone watching Bayern can see how fantastic and amazingly they play. Solid tactics and clear instructions gets 150% out of every player on the pitch, WITHOUT clear centrebacks. Alaba and Kimmich playing central defenders but yet look at heatmaps and their have been everywhere. Im dying for the summer!!

We will transitionally even out all our current players within two season, starting with the first wave Fernando, Yaya, Demi, Kolarov, Bony, Zaba and Caballero. Then the second wave: Sagna, Clichy, Fernandinho, Delph, Navas, and (probably)Nasri n Mangala. Its pretty sure that the current squad isnt what Pep wants nor need and he will slowly put his wishes through and sell the lot. Which i understand and what we can see even this season.

So what Tolmie's at is that we are chopping for Gundogan and Xhaka really fast? what does that mean, sign before euros? Then we are talking to Pogba? Are we totally ignoring fullbacks? those two sides are as important as central midfield.
 
Buy Aurier and Layun, all our problems come from the two full backs, we don't need anybody else. Keep £100 million on ice to throw at a superstar if they give us a sniff.

Should be obvious to anyone that the midfield is the problem area,sort the midfield and defence looks a million times better !
 
Not sure if already posted, but Pep just said Bonucci is one of his all-time favourite players. Maybe your new CB?
We were linked with him in the past. I'd love him at Bayern.

Doesn't Pep always praise opponent's players? If he was one of his all time favourites, why didn't you lot go in for him?

Maybe he wasn't available. We signed Benatia like 1 week before the window closed after Martinez injury.
Anyways it's very plausible. Bonucci's build up play is amazing.
 
From what we've red Gundogan and Xhaka negotiations are in motion already, and rightly so, but we arent in for any fullbacks and that worries me a lot. Our set up on the left is one of the worst in the league and our right is getting very old.

That's sort of what I was getting at. Yaya was a big player in his head and in the head of many for Barcelona. Despite playing all those games for them, Pep outright told him that there was no longer a place in the squad for him because Biscuits was the better player and for him to move along which resulted in the move to us.

The bigger thing for me though is that I just don't see how he fits into the Pep system especially if the rumours of Xhaka and Gundogan are true (and they seem to be). There's also the point that he's not a homegrown player which is something we're going to have to think about again if we sign one or two new centre mids.

There just seems to be many reasons pointing for him to go and very few pointing to him staying. The Chinese have a summer transfer window in June and with our connections there, we might get a really top price for him and he'll still be earning absolute top dollar without any ill feelings. Makes a lot of sense for all parties for me.

Yeah there is China. If ever a player was destined to finish his career there, I'd say he is that sort of player.

I suppose it depends who we bring in really. I've yet to see us really linked with anyone who can play the sort of role Xabi or Biscuits has played under Pep. There's plenty with the technical ability, but that sort of role requires a certain type of personality to demand receiving the ball in his own half of the pitch, often under pressure. We'll see I guess. I would like him to stay and play that role, even if he's only a squad player.
