I should have qualified my answer with "To a do a Tevez before going".I don't. I think he's replacing the spine of the squad. It's essentialy still the team that Mancini built, with Hart, Vinny, Yaya and Sergio as our most important players. He fucked Hart off, Vinny has been fit for 6 weeks and has played one game. Yaya is only back because of injury to another key player, and now it looks like the end for Kun.
He is completely rebuilding the squad and when he's finished it will be a team that Pep has built and be able to take full credit for.
True. We will end up with the best team and squad these shores has ever seen.I don't. I think he's replacing the spine of the squad.

I'd still take Fabinho, Sidibe, Mendy and Bakayoko ahead of him.
We don't need another u21 pacey winger/striker. We've spent £125,000,000 on 3 of them in the last 18 months.
Mbappe may very well go on to be something special, but Sané, Jesus and Sterling are further down the same path, and you just have to play the ones we've got and enjoy watching them as they improve you can't fill the entire squad with wide forwards, and having too many just stifles them anyway.
I'm shocked at the amount of Blues I have come across who consider Monaco as some sort of also-rans.
We lucked out with this draw.
I heard some woman in Mary D's before the Swansea game being asked by a French journo what she thought of Monaco and I was just shaking my head at her lack of knowledge and levels of arrogance.
Apparently, "They'll be no problem, easy."
He'll be ahead of Benzema yes but getting no more game time than he does here, it's been a huge failing on behalf of both ourselves and Madrid that we've had so little cover for our main strikers and both of them have been in the unique position of being virtually undroppable because of it. Can't see him going to PSG, they have Cavani and even with Monaco starting to improve Ligue 1 is a huge step down from the PL.
If he doesn't play, he'll be off, and as others have pointed out that's down to him proving he's good enough and hungry enough in training to prove he is worth a place in our starting 11.The sun, or maybe the star, ran with this made up shit. Aguero, the club and Guardiola flatly deny it so i don't know what more City can do.
Who, Pochettino? Would be good to see what he could do with a squad with PSG's age profile and egos, might be a bit of a wake up call for him tbh.You do PSG a serious disservice. Yes of course Ligue 1 is a drop down from the PL and La Liga but for players these days Paris is as viable an option as Madrid/Barca/United/Chelsea. For Aguero I think it may even appeal more than Madrid precisely because of what you say about game time. I also have a sneaky suspicion that we're going to see an Argentinian manager at PSG in the very near future. ;)
