Who’s gone in the summer?
- Thread starter Blue Smarties
- Start date
Why do you see Jesus going. In my opinion, if a striker is going, it's probably Aguero and not Jesus.I think we will see major changes in the summer to the squad and probably backroom staff as long as pep stays.
Out: Sane, Silva, Bravo, Otermendi,Stones, Mendy, Mahrez and I could see Jesus going if we can get Martinez.
In, Keeper, LB, CB(2), Left Winger, Right Winger, DMF, AM.
New assistant manager/ coach and I think we will say goodbye to Kiddo and the Goal Keeper coach.
One is 30 something and on the wane, the other is about to hit his prime and full of energy.
How people can't see which one is the superior choice baffles me.

what we do need is a striker if/when Kun does go....or at least an another attacking wide player......we will lose Kun and probably Sane in the next 18 months......both must be replaced.....regardless of Gabriel Jesus being good enough or not

We can spend big out of our own revenues. Sane sale will be big profit on the books of about £70m or so which boosts the bottom line by that amount. On top of that we have the highest revenues in UK after this financial year and 3rd highest in the world. We don't have to balance the books as such due to our very high turnover. Wages will be offset by outgoing players.
in 2017 our turnover has significantly lower yet posted profit after all that expenditure.
Buying a player for £60m does not mean £60m cost on the books. Its £12m a year on 5 year contract + wages (offset by outgoing player)
So £300m splurge like in 2017 would be about £60m cost on the books, net cost would be lower as some amortisation will be offset by players leaving little bit. Wages pretty much completely offset by players leaving.
So that whole increase in amortisation would be covered by Sane sale alone.
Yep, I read posts like we won't get our money back for Mendy, but his value on the books next Summer is only about 20M.
Huge Summer window for us though, I normally favour evolution over revolution football wise but I think we may need the latter in the Summer window.
Just because his cost is amortised does not mean you are getting your money backYep, I read posts like we won't get our money back for Mendy, but his value on the books next Summer is only about 20M.

Surely a team like West Ham or maybe Everton under Carlo would give us much of our money on Stones back?

Gundogan is a class act. Ran the middle against Leicester and the end of last season when Dinho injured. Major surgery is not required in.my view but obviously a centre half please. Foden in rotating with Bernardo with David leaving.

I take it your just having a woman? so which English player would you buy to replace him as we are full of foreigners, and can you let us know if Laporte is going to come back all guns blazing after 2 major injuries in the last 3 yearsSurely a team like West Ham or maybe Everton under Carlo would give us much of our money on Stones back?

So if we could get a lot of money for Stones, which would give us more leeway to spend elsewhere, you would be against it? Considering Pep doesn't seem to trust him at all anymore, personally I would bite their hands off.I take it your just having a woman? so which English player would you buy to replace him as we are full of foreigners, and can you let us know if Laporte is going to come back all guns blazing after 2 major injuries in the last 3 years
To answer your question, I do agree with the english factor. I would perhaps use this season to see if Garcia was ready to be trusted with as many minutes as a back-up option would get. I think a new top cb is a must anyway, and Otamendi is probably going so thats one spot available. If we feel the need to add a 2nd foreign cb I guess Merlin and (probably) Fernas spot could be used for that, considering Foden would effectively replace Silva.
I don't think selling John should be a priority but should definitely be explored if a good offer presented itself. Would like to hear your opinion.

For the coming summer we need 2 players
Koulibaly
Sancho
And if Aguero leaves then a striker too. Someone speedy preferably.
