The Squad planning thread

Wharton is a good player but he’s not a very good dueller. We need someone that’s willing to get stuck in and with Nico adding progressive passes to his game we need someone that’s good in tight spaces. I haven’t seen much of Anderson but it seems like he fits the bill

So basically an athletic guy like baleba. Haven’t seen Anderson play but starts look good. Wharton is left footed though which is importantly too to have
 
Sounds like Inter are going to pay the 15m for Akanji so i wonder how much Ake goes for? The same?
CaughtOffside claim there will be a major ‘battle’ for Ake’s services this winter, with Juventus and Palace currently his ‘most serious suitors’. Man City ‘are not actively pushing the player out’ but are ‘willing to entertain reasonable bids’.

They have set Ake’s asking price at €30-35million (up to £31m / $40m), having originally signed him from Bournemouth for £41m in August 2020

Good idea to let him go and get some money back.

That would be a huge fee and all profit for the books?
 
Not seen anything to suggest we want Guehi.Or any centre back come to that. Think next season we’ll go with Dias, Khusonov, Gvardiol, Stones and Reis.
That would necessitate extending Stones’ contract, and irrespective of how well he performs this season, I suspect we might not be tempted into that. That said, if both he and Ake left next summer, we would have a comparatively young back line, so one never knows.
