Keeper

Sagna Komp Otamendi Clichy

Navas/KDB Delph Dinho Sterling

Nacho

Aguero

Would be my strongest 11 right now.
I'd agree, if we were to play a 442 or 4411 as you wrote it that would be way to go (Navas only though, not KdB). Won't happen though, roughly 0% chance of us having a starting 11 without Toure, let alone one without Toure, Silva & KdB!
 
If Swansea were to put in a 20m bid, I think it would be accepted, sterling would become the third striker if needed.

Don't think we'd get £20m for him, certainly not off Swansea.

His signing really was a poor one, if we don't sell him this month (which I don't think we should anyway) he certainly isn't a Pep kind of player, and will more than likely be shipped out in the summer.

Big money signing being sold at a big loss a year or so later, really disappointing to see us spunk away transfer funds so carelessly.

Yeah. Dybala went 6 months later to Juventus for €5m less. Bony has turned out to be a debacle from an opportunity cost standpoint.

Imagining Dybala linking with Aguero... painful.

... and yet you can still see the club's reasoning can't you? He was PL proven, top scorer in the league for the calendar year, good fitness record at the swans and, seemingly, equipped to fit into a passing attack. Unfortunately for us he hasn't been able to raise his level the notch or two needed to fit in with our squad. Kelechi, on the other hand, is starting to look the business.

It's bad when Navas is your best possession player in midfield. I want to see Kalechi play more but if that's the team we'd need to play to see it happen I'm fine with how he is being used right now

How a one season wonder was PL proven? His performances in first half of the second season weren't exactly flattering. He was equipped to fit into a passing attack? Does that mean we thought he was suited to possession-based football? He was nothing more than a target man, helped by a very hard working side that moved the ball very wall.

At the start of the season I posted on the EDS Forum that given enough chances Kelechi will outshine Bony this season and would probably score at least 20 goals. Bony was never good enough for us and frankly our scouting has been piss poor.
