Im not suggesting he couldnt make it here,but i find it very difficult think he could replace Kev at a later date.There are shades of Kev in his playstyle. I think that there`s a reason why he wasn`t sent out on loan, and the club rather wanted him around the first team, like Foden in the past. The midfield is quite stacked, but I do think he has a future here
We'll just re-adapt again. Like we have now, without Silva. Even the contract handed to KDB is largely in consideration over 4/5 into the future. Wouldn't worry too much, our club is in good hands.I know this might sound silly but we’re going to need a Kev replacement 4/5 years time
Reminds me of traore at wolves a few good games and hes hyped up.I’d love for us to have Saint Maximin as a change option when we need a dribbler. I think he’s too greedy and gives ball away cheaply at times but he puts so much pressure on even packed defenses I think he’d be a lively option if he would accept a smaller role
Tierney too.Contact our old feeder club and sign Saka.
Be nice but can’t see it tbh . Do you think one of them will be the best player in the world by then because that is what kdb is . The search will already be onWe need a replacement for Kevin AND Gundogan in 4 or 5 years, the hope would be that it's Doyle and McAtee.
That's wishful thinking to want academy kids to slot in, but they have a couple years to prove atleast, if not, then we just go to the market.
Dream window for me
In Messi, haaland, luiz, mitchell
Out aguero, fernandinho (love both but feel we can't go another season with our best striker injured for most of it and fernandinho is entering the twilight of his career) mendy.
Messi and Mitchell are both frees and Mitchell would be decent cover for zinc and he is English so that frees up a foreign spot for Messi. Haaland and luiz would be less then 120mil which I think we could afford.
They'd be idiots to sell, those 3 are on their last legs. Agreed he looks decent, but I'm very sceptical about the quality on La Liga at the moment, it'll be interesting to see how the Madrid teams fair against PL and Serie A opposition this week, the ones last week were fairly crushed by English, French and German teams.Probably wouldn't leave but always like the look of Valverde from Madrid as a Fernandinho replacement or B2B. Quick, snappy, technical, popping up with goals. He's got a very tough midfield to get into, it's been Modric Casemiro & Kroos for God knows how long.
Probably send mendy out on loan can't imagine anyone will pay us a fee for him. Tyrick Mitchell palaces lb looks decent, is free and is young enough to improve a lot. Plus the fact he is English allows us to pick up another foreign player (Messi). Straight swaps haaland, luiz and Mitchell (2 foreign) for aguero, fernandinho and mendy (3 foreign) with Messi taking the now extra freed up foreign spot.Mendy on a free ? Mitchell ? What about Alaba
We still don't have a spot for Mitchell, Walker, Stones, Sterling and Carson are taking the 4 association developed spots for CL and Ake is using a foreign spot despite being AD.Probably send mendy out on loan can't imagine anyone will pay us a fee for him.

Love Alaba but there is no foreign spots.
Trafford or banzunu to replace Carson? Maybe Hart or Westwood?We still don't have a spot for Mitchell, Walker, Stones, Sterling and Carson are taking the 4 association developed spots for CL and Ake is using a foreign spot despite being AD.
Think Westwood is retiring and Hart isn't worth the money as 3rd choice. I'd just use Bazanu but the club may want him out on loan and playing. We need to start bringing through more academy players to fill out the 25. At the moment we only really have Foden so we're capped at 22 plus the B list in Europe.Trafford or banzunu to replace Carson? Maybe Hart or Westwood?
I completely agree about the young players I always have high hope for the lads but very few get a chance thb has little or no chance with dias, Stones, laporte and Ake there and Doyle and delap also have pretty tough competition especially if we get haaland and Messi! Lol bazanu is having a great loan and think he needs minutes. Would love Hart back hopefully if the chance for him to return as a 3rd choice he would take a massive pay cut to win things and prolong his career.Think Westwood is retiring and Hart isn't worth the money as 3rd choice.
