They are only kept because they are unsellable.I won't keep Ake or Stones. It's time to be brutally honest. Both 30 and highly injury prone. They are not going to get less injury prone the older they get.
I don't consider them serious depth, and it's why I think we need to bring in 4 defenders over the next year, with 2 or 3 asap.

Said at the time we would regret that one.I would kill to have Laporte back. Seeing how well he played for Spain at the Euros was genuinely upsetting.

DM- Zubimemdi (Sociedad)
RB- Vanderson (Monaco)
CB- Bisseck (Inter)
First two are attainable in Jan due to a RC for Zubi and Monaco generally always being a selling club. Bisseck likely won't be available until the summer but that's the profile to look at. A combination of height, pace and physicality.
I know the report that said we won't be going for Bruno G and Zubi from earlier but I don't buy it.
In the summer we will need to tackle other positions like creative midfield, another goal scoring threat either as a 9, secondary striker, inside fwd or whatever and a proper 8. Someone with a Vitinha/Reijnders profile.

I'd offer Ake back to Bournemouth at a cut price deal. As for Stones, he's in 250k wages so hard to see a place for him to go. Ake is on around 150-160k a week so presumably easier to move.I won't keep Ake or Stones. It's time to be brutally honest. Both 30 and highly injury prone.

Maybe Pep and the club feel justified in letting these go, bearing in my mind that we won numerous trophies and also made a huge financial profit.Palmer, Brahim Diaz, Morgan Rogers, Lavia , Tosin, Pedro Porro, Laporte , Tommy Doyle
It is this season that gets me. We had sold/ released several players over the last few seasons and were going into this season short on numbers.
We sold so many players and loaned out even more and left the squad depleted.
I can understand selling unwanted players to bring in cash but what is the point in loaning out Callum Doyle, Kabore and Yan Couto if you are going to be tight on squad numbers
Stop talking sense.Do what the Italians do and ask for Douglas Luiz on loan. His physical presence in the midfield would be a good starter.
People have been reported to the Mods for a lot less.
Kabore and Couto wasn’t close to being good enough for City at the time they were loaned outI can understand selling unwanted players to bring in cash but what is the point in loaning out Callum Doyle, Kabore and Yan Couto if you are going to be tight on squad numbers
