I meant Dips and Arse. McAllister, Rice, Califiori, Sterling, Havertz.....
And which of those would have turned us down because they wanted to go to the clubs they are at ?
McAllister only wanted to sign for the dippers, Rice wanted to go to Arsenal, Havertz was shit at Chelsea with no real indications that he was top class, Califiori don't know about yet either for club he chose or quality , Sterling we know about ................................
KDB; Gundy; Lewis; Bernie; Rodri (during transfer window); Johnny?; and the demand from many on here to give academy lads some time.I meant Dips and Arse. McAllister, Rice, Califiori, Sterling, Havertz.....
Rodri was a shock that you can’t anticipate because no great player would have come as his back up. However, they would in January because they’ve got a season to make the position theirs
Probably been said before but a lot obviously depends on Peps situation. Next summer though I think we will need to strengthen the entire squad. Realistically 5-6 payers of the highest available quality could possibly need to come in.

We won't have that kind of turnover, but I see this being Walker's, KDB's last season. There may be others who will leave too. Plus I think we're already light in numbers, with a back up striker a must.Probably been said before but a lot obviously depends on Peps situation.

3 or 4 then, lol.We won't have that kind of turnover, but I see this being Walker's, KDB's last season. There may be others who will leave too. Plus I think we're already light in numbers, with a back up striker a must.

I think five or six is a bit ambitious but it should definitely be no fewer than four over the next two windows. Walker and KDB will likely be gone, possibly Gundogan too. Ortega may also decide he wants to move on. Then you have question marks about Nunes and whether or not we can give him game time (probably not). Might the same be true for McAtee (he'll probably stay)? Bernardo will probably see out his final year. My feeling is we'll probably enter next season with a squad along the lines of:We won't have that kind of turnover, but I see this being Walker's, KDB's last season.

Ederson
Ortega/new GK
Carson
New RB (keep seeing Frimpong?)
Akanji
Ake
Dias
Stones
Gvardiol
Lewis
Rodri
Kovacic
New DM (Ricci?)
McAtee
Bernardo
New MF (Musiala?)
Foden
Savinho
Doku
Grealish
Bobb
Haaland
New Striker (not seen any names other than Kyogo?)
The usual 23 may end up being 25 with O'Reilly, Wright, Wilson-Esbrand and Doyle all on the periphery.

Depends on what Pep wants to make him happy, if he wants 5/6 players I’m sure the club would do it.
Expect KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan and Kovacic all to be gone in 2 years. Leaves us with only Rodri, Nunes, Foden, Rico and McAtee in midfield. Gonna need a couple midfielders soon. Also expect Walker to be gone next summer, might need two RBs
