Out of that list i would say Bernardo and Laporte are the only two that would more than likely go right now.

As you say, Walker may leave if Sheff U go up.

I think Gundogan might stay if he accepts a squad role, he would still be club captain and he'd have a lot of influence in the dressing room and by helping the young players during training etc.
Mahrez is on too much of a good thing so he'll stay and i think Cancelo would stay if he could play RB!

The big question is Kev.
We were talking about this the other day and saying if we won the CL, could Kev leave?

I'm not advocating this at all as i luv Kev and it's shocking to think, but if and it's a big IF we did win the CL, he'd have won everything he could possibly win with us and may think his time has come to a natural end!?

I think cancelo will go and he might even put transfer request in as he looks miles away from the first team atm. As for kdb I’d hate for him to leave and I don’t know who could do his job but hopefully as his pace gets slower he will end up doing a pirlo kind of role and just spread the ball around .

I'd like to think (hope) that they have someone lined up but we can't get him until the summer!

Hopefully mate but with the amount of years we haven’t I’m not pinning any hopes

 

[RayCTID]

Out of the desired who is currently available in this window? And would we have to ridiculosly over-pay for one?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Hopefully we will sign a decent left back in my lifetime (I’m 32).

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Victor Hugo, CM/AM, Flamengo, £16m-£23m

I‘d get the serious hump if we signed him

 

[Fordyboy46]

Cancelo for Leao would do for me

 

[RayCTID]

I doubt AC Milan would agree and we would still weaken our squad even further if we did that

 

[Fordyboy46]

That's what I was thinking when he keeps playing centre halves at left back. That's definitely a message of get me a new left back please

You’d be misérables

Surely Theo would be around the €80-100m mark if Milan were to sell mate?

There was a story in the express on Friday saying Utd want to offer both martial and dalot in a swap for Theo who Milan value at £52mill

Ridiculously cheap if true! Cancelo maybe fancy going back to Italy as part of a deal I wonder? Obviously him and Pep have had a row and seemingly the personality of cancelo is to sulk which Pep is not having!

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Out:

Mactee £20mill

Out:

Mcatee

We're not selling McAtee.

Unlike the others where we sold with buybacks.. we're not letting anyone get a whiff.

Very highly rated internally by Pep and will likely at the very least have a Cole Palmer role next year to prove himself.
