Lets me get this right, you think we need 9 signings this summer?
Only 8 actually. The new striker should come next season when Agüero leaves.
1: Bravo's leaving the club. I think a 2nd keeper is needed. Not someone expensive. I wonder if Angus Gunn would be a good option? He counts as homegrown and shouldn't be expensive. Unless you trust Muric/Bazunu to be back-up keepers.
2 and 3: I think Aké and a new CB (Koulibaly? Upamecano?) are unanimously seen as a must.
4: A left back is also a must, obviously. Alaba would be top pick for me, Guerreiro would fit this team quite well.
5: Fernandinho is done. He's not even a leader so we should move him. That leaves Rodri. So we need another one.
6: We need cover for Kevin as well, don't we? Especially given his propensity for injuries and Gundo's current lack of ability to make things happen. Thiago would be perfect for Pep. Aouar seems like a good option too.
7 and 8: Ferrán came to replace Sané. Another winger would be needed to cover for Bernardo, who would be playing as CML.
Which of these do you not agree?
To be fair, the only reason we need to sign 8/9 players this summer is because the club didn't buy in the past 2 years. They only brought in Mahrez, Rodri and Cancelo when David Silva, Kompany, Otamendi and Fernandinho needed replacements; Mendy proved repeatedly to be physically far from his best form.
