Way, way, way, way too early to be conceding anything. The false humbleness is no longer cute, its run its course. Foden moves into the midfield, one of Bernardo or Gundo stay, Gvardiol signs on, bring in a younger, pacier, hungrier player than Mahrez and off we go. I'm starting to think some of you are gamblers and will use any shithousery to bring down the odds...behave : )We will continue to evolve. A number of players will leave and tactically I don't think we'll see Stones in the midfield as much next season. Players will have to be brought in, but it will be hard (I'd say impossible) to find players who can immediately compensate for the quality and particularly the experience of those who might leave. Would happily settle for the League next season (I know how conceited that might sound) if it meant we had a younger and hungrier squad ready to go in 2024-25.
Has anyone considered trying him out wide on the right. He went straight from playing in Argentina to City without much, if any, time to adjust. If he could play on the right it would be a massive boost to the squad. He can press, he can pass long switching the field, he has decent pace, can dribble, and can definitely score goals. Just wondering...Sorry but if Alvarez already had his head turned... We don't need his Spidey senses.
8 of the 23 brought to Istanbul last week were not with the side that won the 2021-22 Prem title. That's a shade over one third of the squad. Things change every year...So; there could be up to a quarter of last August's PL squad gone come the community shield kickabout.
"Vinicius Junior"If all of those players leave, the transfer fees plus the cash earned for winning the treble plus potentially World Club Cup and super league, I would anticipate some big money signings:
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Kimmich
Rice
Karatskhelia
Vinicius Junior
OK maybe not and I hope Silva doesnt leave
He needs to, his development has stalled, needs game time and lots of it.Is Palmer leaving?
Send him to a promoted sideHe needs to, his development has stalled, needs game time and lots of it.
Extend Bernie, Gundo and Laportes deals. The rest we can let go or loan out. Any player who wants to move on should have their way.I wasn’t really worried before the reports of Walker… now I’m a bit nervous. It’s loads of players
