Contract expires this summer. Rumored to join Strasbourg on a freeNot for this summer, but do we have a buyback on egan-riley? Will be interesting to see how he does in the prem this year. Had a really good year at Burnley and he made appearances under pep when he was here. Still young too.

Ah lol nvm
and cherkiAll eyes on outgoings and right back then.
Livraramento and it's a wrap.Assuming Reijnders, Cherki and Ait Nouri are definitely arriving what other players/positions do we need? Right back and anything else?
The more I think about it, we may want to get a keeper. Doesn't seem like Ederson's head is here anymore and this recurring groin injury could be an even bigger issue next season. Ortega is a solid backup, but I'm not as confident with him as our starter.Livraramento and it's a wrap.
I don’t think the MGW case is completely over yetAll eyes on outgoings and right back then.
So currently, if we take into account kdb leaving and the 3 coming in plus bah from on loan, we have 21 foreign players. So 4 need to go. The obvious ones are bah, echeverri and reis on loan. Then likely one of kova, gundo and bernado.
I know the club trained rule is 3 years between 15 and 21 years old but does that mean the cut off is 21st birthday or does time when the player is 21 count too? Because if it's the latter it would be tempting to keep reis and echeverri in the squad, with the promise of cup games, rather than loan out.
Then any other incomings would need to be homegrown or another foreign player leaves, probably another of those midfielders above.

Doubt we sign Livramento or MGW.I think there will be priorities and looks like those were the 3 we are currently signing. We will probably see a few leave now while Liveramento and MGW bumble along.
Why would Livramento want to leave a UCL side who have a lot of money to compensate for us, where he'll probably get less game time knowing Pep?
MGW has kind of fizzled out anyway, doubt we'll sign maybe 3 midfielders in one window with the lot we have already.
I reckon at least 10 will leave MGW seems to be the one we’ll go for to do all the running and Liveramento completes the replacements as Lewis just isn’t good enough and I doubt Nunes will be here or want to play RB for the foreseeableDoubt we sign Livramento or MGW.

De Bruyne, Walker, Phillips, Gundogan, Bernardo, Kova, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Nunes, Ortega, Ederson. There’s 12 for you two extra. I could see all these go potentially but probably 10 of themName the 10 then
i would keep Nunes and Kovacic. Maybe Ake due to being left-footed.De Bruyne, Walker, Phillips, Gundogan, Bernardo, Kova, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Nunes, Ortega, Ederson. There’s 12 for you two extra. I could see all these go potentially but probably 10 of them

What about Paqueta, if of course he’s cleared when he gets his verdict in the next few weeks?I don’t think the MGW case is completely over yet
Seems unlikely, but Guardiola seems to rate him highly.
I think his lvl dropped off but who knows. MGW is HG so.What about Paqueta, if of course he’s cleared when he gets his verdict in the next few weeks?

No way will Bernardo Kova and Gundogan all go in the same window as Kev. Don’t think Ederson and Ortega both goDe Bruyne, Walker, Phillips, Gundogan, Bernardo, Kova, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Nunes, Ortega, Ederson. There’s 12 for you two extra. I could see all these go potentially but probably 10 of them
Absolutely no chance.De Bruyne, Walker, Phillips, Gundogan, Bernardo, Kova, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Nunes, Ortega, Ederson. There’s 12 for you two extra. I could see all these go potentially but probably 10 of them
Kovacic has been our best player for a while. It's already been said it's likely Ederson and Ortega will stay, doubt Akanji and Nunes will go, no reason for them too, same with Ake.
Think it is time for Gundo and Silva to go, obviously Phillips, Walker and KDB.
Not sure about Stones, depends how fitness treats him.
Think realistically only 5/12 go from that lot.
