Who’s gone in the summer?

Laporte was quoted in an earlier interview that he would assess his options - in regards to playing time

Not happy with not being picked for France so he made the decision to switch to Spain.

He could possibly want guaranteed playing time, which under Pep you dont get
My missus hasn't got a clue about football but she said during the trophy lift he looked like he couldn't be arsed being there, seemed to perk up when he was getting photos etc but he definitely isn't happy of not being first choice (Not a bad thing!).
If Spain have a great EUROs and Laporte is at the core of it then you can bet he will be asking questions.

If Real lose Varane then there is a possibility there.
 
I think who moves depends on how Pep intends to play next season, Kane or Haaland are target men, no way Kane is running round chasing down players for 90 mins, we may revert to wingers lie, Sane Sterling getting more balls into the box like we did in 17/18. The false 9 may go, this season there will be a lot of player plus cash deals as no one is flush, Sterling may go to Spurs in a deal for Kane.
Why would Sterling go to spurs, no Champions League no chance of Premier League, they won't pay the wages he is on now and I can't really seeing him accepting probably half of what he is on now. It's never going to happen.
 
You don't get guaranteed playing time at any top club really.

I don't see any sense for him to move. one of 3 choice players for 3 positions, can be paired withneither dias or stones, or used at left back. He will get games, and he knows it. He will have a good chance to win trophies, and get paid well. Next year, if it hasn't worked as well as he thought, there will be more options with more top clubs having the money and he'll have a year less on his contract. Neither party should be in a rush for him to move.
He would if he turned up at Real or Barca.

100% guaranteed starter.

Yes. Once one of ramos/varane left, pique past it but still a regular as a cule. Plus, both would be in a better financial position next season.

Which is why it would make more sense for him to wait a year and see what it is like then.
 
A bit of a sweeping statement I suppose but City players seem to have bought into the we are a team and awards are for all of us message.
Why would any player consider themself indispensible and expect selection irrespective of form or internal competition.?

I think Pep is better letting those go that think differently.
Like the Stock Exchange warns, past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
 
Always hard to get players to move on when you win things, the only outgoing im confident about is mendy apart from the free transfers to barca of garcia and aguero, I think everyone else will try and stay and city not so good at being cuthroat and getting people out.

Wouldn't count on that last part you mention - pep has stated that they intend to sit down with the players in question and let them know it would be best for them to move on

Think we will look at moving on the players we dont want around any longer
