Possible squad/starting XI next season?

Sterling and Jesus are replaced by Haaland and Alvarez. It would be the team that finished last year with name changes.

Phillip -Dihno
Haaland - Jesus
Alvarez - Sterling
Cucurella - (Mendy)


We are no more or less lighter than we were to finish the 2nd half of the season. Frankly, unless Zinchencko leaves, we'd have an extra in Cucurella. Who's really replacing Mendy, but Mendy wasn't part of the 2nd half of the season l.
wasnt part of the start either, he only played 79 minutes at Spurs.
 
Ederson
Ortega

Walker Stones Dias Cucurella
Cancelo Laporte Ake Zinchenko

Rodri
Phillips

De Bruyne Bernardo
Gundogan

Mahrez Haaland Foden
Palmer Alvarez Grealish​
 
Looks a midfielder short.

Essentially we’re looking at a fourth choice for the midfield behind KDB, Bernie and Gundo - and in that case, I’d be hoping that role goes to McAtee.

We’re not exactly talking big minutes behind those three, but we need to start getting him the experience he needs to develop.

Given Foden and Grealish can also play a bit further back, bringing in another would be a mistake IMO.
 
We dint need two first XI, all reports say pep wants quality players who can play multiple positions

With cucurella we are sorted even if we sell Raz/Gabby (I can't see us not signing anyone if Raz goes)

GK: Ederson / Ortega / Carson
FB: Walker / Cancelo / Cucurella / Zinch
CB: Laporte / Dias / Stones / Ake
CM: Rodri / KDB / Bernardo / Gundo / Kalvin
AM: Foden/ Grealish / Mahrez / Palmer
CF: Haaland / Alvarez

Plenty of depth and quality to get us through, Haaland and Curuella come in and improve the first XI while Phillips is an upgrade over last year's version of Dinho and Alvarez is the wild card....plus Palmer needs gametime
 
I think pep will try a lot of things initially but in the end I think he will settle with cancelo on the right instead of walker if we play two strikers or inverted wingers that I think will be the biggest change this season and so I think buying a left back will be crucial.

Walker is our best full back though, and our fastest player. If fit he has to start, with Cancelo left back, with a kind of free role into midfield like last season. If we sign Cucurella then we can rotate at LB, sometimes with Cancelo at RB if Walker needs a rest.

Walker may be the best full back but does not suit our new players and new tactics we are going to play this season, inverted wingers and a target man. we need a full back that holds the width and cancelo is the choice.
