Moreno: playing the biggest game of his young life, president confirmed the deal, Colombian media were briefed this is his last game.

Gabriel Jesus: His club confirms Pep phone call, agents saying deal very advanced, player currently away training for Olympics. Looks like our people in South America and his agents are working things out.


Stones/Sané are now back in training, Sané trained alone today and his club tweeted that he's going under mandatory performances tests. These seem 2 deals seem to be the furthest from completion.


Relax

I like sane people so I like you.
 
The reason why some of these deals are taking longer to be done is because Txiki is haggling to make sure we get the Kroos money sorted when Pogba goes to Madrid :)
 
I think that if we get Sane, Moreno, Jesus & Stones, we might declare for this window & wait 'til next year.

Those 3 kids are eligible for the Prem as U21s if needed, as is Zinchenko, with Gundogan & Nolito signed, then if we get Stones, that's a whole bunch of signings.

Stones means we have 5 cbs, 6 including Tosin, 7 if Pep is serious about Fernandinho being a possible.

We have 4 def mids if we include Stones & Denayer as possibles, 5 if we want to use Fernandinho there, 6 if Kean Bryan comes through.

Fucking Kolarov plus Clichy left back, with Angelino maybe Delph, Sagna & Zabba right back with perhaps Dinho, Stones & Denayer.

Yaya, Gundogan, Fernandinho, A Garcia (& in a Pep team poss options of DeBruyne Nasri or Silva) as centre mid.

DeBruyne, Silva, Nolito, Nasri, Sane, Sterling, Kelechi , Yaya, Zinchenko if he stays, M Garcia, Celina & a few other kids as attacking mid.

DeBruyne, Silva, Nasri, Nolito, Sane, Zinchenko, Kelechi, Moreno, Sterling, Jesus (in Jan), plus Celina, Barker & other kids as wide attackers in a mid 4 or in a front 3.

Aguero, Bony, Kelechi, Sane, Jesus (in Jan), Sterling, plus Ambrose maybe Boadu if he gets fit, a Striking options.

A shedload of players young & old who could play as a 'false 9'.

A bunch who could play wingback or in a back 3.

All of that is without mentioning Navas, in case he is one who goes.

We could lose a player or two from almost any area there, to make way in the squad, & still have loads of cover (thanks to the fact that Pep has flexibility with players' positions & has brought some kids into the reconing, both things which could have made us much better last season).

I don't think we'd worry if we had that squad. It would just be a matter of who we loan or sell.
 
As the season was coming to an end and we were hearing all sorts of possibilities for us in the transfer market now we had Pep Guardiola, I doubt many would have been overly impressed if the window turned out to be:

Gundogan
Nolito
Zinchenko
Sane
Stones
Gabriel Jesus
Marlos Moreno

We still haven't addresses issued in central midfield and at full back. We are also spending a fair chunk of money on 3 players who won't be in the squad come the start of this season.
