Add in Iheanacho, Unal and Wright and you have a full squad.
 
I don't get how we'll fit tactically if we get Pogba and De Bruyne. Pogba and Yaya cannot be a two unless we're planning on moving to 433 and it's Fernandinho, Pogba & Yaya.

Silva and Sterling would take the spots upfront with Aguero so where does that leave De Bruyne?

Plenty of option for rotation mate. In some really easy games we could play a Yaya Pogba two man midfield, Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling will all play 50+ games
 
Yaya isn't going to be starting too many games I wouldn't have imagined over the course of the season, I think he'll be restricted to cameo sub appearances and in rotation against the smaller sides.
Are you kidding? Yaya played 37 games last season, which is a lot when you consider that he missed a month for the African Cup. The season before, he played 49. And in the last 2 seasons, I don't remember many of those coming as a substitute, nor do I remember him being subbed off in many. He might play more of a rotation role as he gets older, but there's no way he's going from an automatic starter to an impact sub in a single season. I'd be shocked if we draw a top team in the CL and Yaya isn't starting.

One of Navas or Nasri would surely go if De Bruyne joins
 
Surely I'm not the only one who thinks a Yaya-Pogba pivot is suicidal? Especially in Europe?
