Who’s gone in the summer?

Judging on this season, would we be happier to keep Aguero on Mahrez? They don’t obviously play the same position but with us playing a false 9, Mahrez, Torres, Sterling, Jesus, Aguero, Foden, Bernardo & even KDB are competing for the front 3 spots.

We do have to have a midfield you know.

I know but at present we’re playing Rodri or Fernandinho plus 2 others, usually Gundogan plus another. That means it’s usually KDB or Bernardo, if both play together one is the false 9.

I see it more as Gundogan, KdB and Bernardo rotating in the 2 midfield spots. Atleast from your attempt to look at positions and numbers it doesn't make sense to consider them as forwards imo.

Jesus or Aguero are more likely to be used as the 9, or even Foden as false 9.

Using Bernie or KdB as the false 9 is more a backup option.

Basically instead of 8 in 3 spots (which sounds like we are way too overstocked), I think of it more as 9 (include Gundogan) in 5 spots.

From the first team squad, only Mendy, Aguero, Garcia and Fernandinho should leave. To be replaced by Haaland (please), a new midfielder and new left back. Then there’s the wildcard of Messi which is one that’s phenomenal if we get him yet not the end of the world if we don’t.

Agüero ‘should’ leave? Absolute nonsense. Give the guy a break. He deserves the benefit of doubt for a 12 m extension

only mendy can go.

i think aguero and dinho need stay one more year.

add left back and douglas luis.

Judging on where the squad is at right now and what business we need to do in the summer my "outs" would be:

Mendy, Aguero, Fernandinho

With incomings being

Any fucking left back, Haaland, and Douglas Luiz (or Zakaria.)

Messi will always be a 'bonus' signing. Personally can't see Mahrez or Jesus going anywhere.

Can’t complain with that really. Would be sad about Aguero and Dinho going but they are getting on a bit

Agreed. It feels a touch premature to be saying Kun should go, but if we land Haaland I'm okay with that!

I'd love for Ferna to take up a coaching role at the club.
