The Squad planning thread

What?

I dont think you understand at all.

There were recent rumors about Gvardiol, he isnt a player for which there arent any.

And im saying I dont think they are true and he stays.

What do you not understand? Your writing shows you clearly did not understand what I said (and now I've told you 3 times).

No one worth a shit buys Gvad is going anywhere but you're jumping at rumors like a teenage girl.
If Gvad goes anywhere this window I'll quit the board.
Quit spouting shit and wasting everyone else's time.

I think your legitimately brain damaged if you still did not understand.

But after 3 attempts Im not gonna explain it anymore.
 
New contracts should be handed out to:

Gvardiol
Cherki
Khusanov
Foden

Asap

Rodri if he is mikes away with wages etc then sell imo while it’s a fresh start and after him playing all summer may pick up more nighling injuries early doors and throughout the season and it’s just terrible business sense to lose him on a free!

In:

Anderson
Fernandez
Palestra
Diomande
Reis back from loan

Out:

Stones
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo Silva
Phillips
Lewis
Grealish
Savinho
Nunes

I know Nunes is going to cause some comments but I personally think that only that mad crazy bastard Pep could manage to work so hard on one player that Maresca would just want a natural RB and if Palestra needed a rest or was injured then Khusanov could go to RB as we are so strong in defence now with the Guehi signing and Gvardiol back? I also think Trafford will chance one season as Maresca REALLY rates him so who knows, he may get the nod in the end?

A fresh start is a fresh start so let’s back Maresca properly from the off imo and see how he goes!
 
Don’t know why we’d start without the creativity of either Cherki or Foden, nor why Read would be starting over Nunes. Anyway the team will be nothing like that as most of them will barely be back fro their holidays after the world cup.
probably to rest players who went to WC, but don't know about Foden tho
 
Cheeky bid for Kenan Yildiz after Juve fails to qualify for CL. Two footed, young, athletic and very talented. I’d also get either Fernandes out of West Ham Bergvall out of Tottenham to replace Bernie, Gonzales and Kova if either get relegated. Kroupi to replace Marmoush, Read to be understudy for Nunes. Cant decide if we need another CB other than Reis back since all of Akanji, Stones and Ake are most likely leaving. Maybe Alleyne can get a proper chance at sharing some minutes
 
Done Data MB on squad players and players we are linked with showing some interesting results

we’re likely never gonna see that ballon dor form imo but this is likely the best route can’t lose Bernardo Rodri and Pep at the same time
Still a valuable player to have around (hence why Real Madrid are sniffing around). We had managed to keep Bernie despite Barcelona's lever pulling exercising and him seriously thinking about leaving when still in his prime.
 
Why not sell him now for +40m and reinvest the money on someone more is excited to wear the shirt and more committed to stay ?

I love Rodri, but his last comment regarding his future seems that he is willing to leave.

If any player is not happy to stay then its better to let them leave.
  1. Because we dont need the money, we can buy a replacement now if we wanted and give a year grace (like Dinho/Rodri had).
  2. He hasn't said hes unhappy, Bernardo was interested in Barcelona/Portugal yet he never threw the towel in, don't expect Rodri to either
  3. Because even if hes not pre-injury Rodri he's class.
  4. Losing 2 big characters in Bernardo and Stones is a lot already, Rodri becomes the new longest serving player
  5. Nico G might be off (or kovacic) which means we need to replace 3 CM's
  6. Because we've shown we're happy for players to leave on free transfers. Free transfers give him more options,better wages and a signing on fee

Losing both Rodri and Bernardo would be a mistake, yes we can make it work but its a risk especially as we'll be left with quite a young team with only Kovacic as the older head and hes not the most vocal player
