Who’s gone in the summer?

Scored less than Jesus this season, less technical ability and less able to play as central striker.

Much improved with Tuchel, though

So possibly losing Laporte and replace him with untried players, not good and not acceptable.

There are some that can’t grasp the fact that an EDS kid being stand out fantastic doesn’t make them good enough to step in and replace a proven and experienced player in one of the best teams in Europe.
An EDS kid being absolutely brilliant gets them to train with the squad where they can hope to prove themselves over a couple of seasons, pick up a bit of game time here and there and learn from the experience.
It takes time and they need to earn it.

Edit; I’ve just read that back and it sounds a bit preachy. I‘m sorry about that and I must emphasise that it was just my opinion and not some established scientific fact. I just put it across badly was all.

didnt dortmund want gabby last year? maybe use him in a deal for haaland?

Great plan and In your next breath your going to say play Delap as back up

Still gets caught offside, just like Jesus.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I can’t believe some of the names I’m reading people want to get rid of on ere, just a few names I’ve plucked out of the thread...Mahrez Raz Jesus, with Sergio also on his way, amounts to 80% of our attack, people flip their lid when Pep makes multiple changes to the team but some want to shift half the squad! A potential treble winning squad at that...Pep may feel it’s time for a small rebuild but the overhaul some are suggesting is crazy, a champions league win will help recruitment from every angle in terms of names & numbers, let’s win that and go from there

I can't see both Sterling and Jesus leaving, but I could potentially see one going if there was the right person to replace them.

I don’t think Jesus will be going anywhere, and nor should he. It’s bad enough losing Aguero, we can’t have a squad with no striker at all, that would be utterly ridiculous. Even if we sign Haaland (hopefully!) or Kane, we still must keep Jesus; we can’t play 60 odd games with one striker in the squad.

Garcia needs to go, he’s shit, too small and doesn’t want to be here any longer.
Mendy not good enough, don’t know if we can shift him though.

I hope Fern stays another season.

We‘d be mad to let Sterling go after one poor season by his standards.

I‘m with you, I suspect that Sterling will go if the right offer comes in.
He’s a marvellous athlete, he’s been great for us and will, I’m sure, be great again but he seems to have plateaued under our system.
Works his socks off but doesn’t get the breaks as often nowadays because what he does is now so well known that tactics are employed to keep him from being effective.

I also suspect that he’s had enough of being subject to niggly fouls every game but the refs giving him nothing whatsoever. I recon he’ll go abroad and rip it up somewhere else in a different system of play.

Please God let it be Sterling who goes first. Let him regain his form elsewhere if he can and best of luck to him. Nice guy.

You're going to be dissapointed. @BillyShears has said numerous times that he's heard the club are already working on a new deal for Sterling. I think @tolmie's hairdoo has said the same.

Mendy and Garcia are the only ones I can see leaving this summer.

I'm hoping we'll offer Fernandinho a one year extension.
