Who’s gone in the summer?

[hampshireblue]

Sterling is a "confidence" player on the back of him scoring goals. The trouble is, most of those came from tap ins when the likes of David Silva and Sane had created the goal. That source has now gone,as has Raz's confidence.

Out or leaving .
Garcia
Aguero good luck kun.
Mendy
Ake
Sterling , pity we couldn't swap sterl & Ake for Kane .
Eric may ask to leave ?

In .
Mendes or Digne
Declan rice or Yves Bissouma
Haaland or Kane , think it will be someone much cheaper.
Grealish
Kayky looks a star in the making if he can settle in the uk.

I don' t see anybody departing apart from the confirmed ones, Kun and Garcia.

Kayky is in, but he is young and level or two below Jesus when he arrived, don't expect him in the first team for a season or two.
I can see us going for a buy out clause on Douglas Luiz regardless of Fern extending his contract for one year. Bissouma and Rice and nowhere near replacement for Fern, when it comes to attacking phase of the game.
I can see us going for Kun's replacement, but have no clue who.

And I would hate Jesus to be sold, it is actually madness in my opinion.

I think it is more likely that Sterling gets a contract extension rather being sold. I can't see any club that he'd be interested in joining wanting him and I don't think the club would want him having only a year left at the end of next season.

He doesn't deserve a new (presumably more lucrative) contract in my view.

I can see a compromise 1 year extension being given, while we won't get top dollar for him in his current form neither will he if he was to walk away. The time to leave the club or to negotiate a new deal is when you are flying.

if sterling goes, we'll need to bring in an english player (even if in a different position) due to foreign spots. so who

Kane?

 

[abu13]

Hope Sterling is first out the Door.

Watching him play this last season has left me with PTSD.

I would promote a Traffic Cone if it came to it.

I don't get the hate directed at Sterling (not saying you by the way).
He doesn't go out with the intention of having a nightmare and I am sure he is giving 100%.
The fact is that he is woefully out of form and his confidence is at rock bottom.
The biggest issue is why the hell Pep picks him to start games in this funk.

We don't.
Stones, Walker, Ake and Carson cover that at present.

Doesn’t have to be English, we have 5 homegrown ones taking up a non homegrown spot as it is.

 

[christened at st marks]

LB: Sterling out Kieran Tierney in part of trade
DM: Rodri out Declan Rice in, Fern stays and see how Lavia develops
No 9: Kun gone and Gabby for Kane (Delap development) or Haarland in
3rd CB: If Laporte wants out another CB
4th CB: If Ake wants out THB back from Blackburn

If Grealish comes, maybe 1 of Silva Gundo Mahrez moves on, only one going from 1st team the rest from the B team or below

Probably Mendy and a whole heap of guys on loan (Harrison/Nmecha etc to swell the kitty)

Main thing we need is a strong assistant manager who can control an out of control ego

You sound like a self entitled rag.
Just be glad for what you’ve seen in the last ten years.
