Who’s gone in the summer?

[Keeper!]

Bernardo interesting Atletico .... 60m minimum required

Laporte wants out .... 60m also is the minimum we should be looking at

Already have a replacement for Bernardo in Grealish ..... any ideas for a left footed center back to replace Laporte if he does leave ?

Ake and Sandler as 4th choice?

No team comes to mind that need a CB, let alone could afford what we'd want for Laporte.. has it been confirmed by anyone he's not showing up to training? I know City socials haven't posted a picture of him yet..

Lockdown in our climate had an influence I reckon.

Ake and Sandler as 4th choice?

That would be a serious and potentially fatal downgrade

Agreed, don't want to lose Laporte , top quality player.

60 plus games and will Dias/Stones have a season like last? and stay injury free.

Assuming that Stonesy will stay fully fit and fully switched on mentally for another full season is a gamble I’d rather not take without a top class alternative should his head or his hamstring go again

Surely some of the slack should be picked up from academy players coming through. If we have the best coach in the world and the best facilities then a steady stream into the first team shouldn’t be impossible.

They played in pre season games - so they ARE coming through the academy

That sky presenter Kal whatever is second name is one fucking hell of a knobhead .

A very different squad if we lose Bernardo, Jesus and potentially Laporte while bringing in Grealish and Kane.

Far more English-centric, than the usual Spanish-centric (language) team.

While sad to lose players, since we are bringing in quality, I just view it as a different period for us.
