Txiki needs to double check his signings.

If we sign 3 expensive players this summer and all have the same impact as Rodri and Cancelo had this season we are fucked next season.

shocking we need these players really
This should not happen under DoF model, every 2-3 years we should not be shipping out and signing about 6 players. Last summer had we made mini-overhaul made 4 signings there would be less work this summer etc. Far too complacent.
 
All I am saying we we get rid of Otamendi to say and spend big on a new CB who ends up being as good as Cancelo in RB for us this season we would make a huge mistake.

We got rid of Danilo + lot of money for Cancelo, and still Walker has to solve RB position 80% of the time.

Rodri vs Fernandinho I am not sure, they are very different players, Fernandinho did suit us better defensively imo which might not be balanced out by Rodri being able to pass bit better.
Fernandinho imo was helping out defence much more and earlier he had to fill in with Yaya as Yaya did not do any teamwork defending off the ball.

Pep said last summer we wanted Maguire, I think he would have been a horrible misfit with his lack of speed and if United is not around to pay record for hi we might have had paid 60m for him.

I am not 100% sure they do the best possible scouting. Many of our transfers are expensive but not good enough or do not improve City as much as they should.
Also what happened to Bernardo, fantastic first season and pretty flat second season. If his next one is similar to this season that would be 2 mediocre and one great in 3 seasons, not good enough in that case.

Jury is still out on Bernardo, Rodri, Cancelo of course.
