Who’s gone in the summer?

Agreed but human nature is different I guess? Even player trades besides Felix don’t help really? Is Saul an upgrade on what we add ready have?
Personally, I wouldn’t take anyone else from Atletico.

I also think that Laporte won’t leave as there isn’t a market for him.

Jesus can only be a swap deal really, unless Inter can spend some money, which looks doubtful.
 
Wouldn't mind Jesus going if that means we can get Kane. Also Bernardo mind has gone. We need fully committed players, otherwise they should move on.
 
This is the worst window for selling, clubs have financial crisis because of covid and prices are down ( Except if you are selling a player to City or Chelsea )
 
I'd be disappointed to lose all three but I can imagine they all want first team football.

Jesus has such energy and is a goal scorer. I'd hope he wouldn't see Kane coming in as a threat, more a challenge or an opportunity. If he goes we need another striker, even if Kane comes in.

Bernardo is an insanely talented player and a coffee holding legend. But he's slipped behind Mahrez and is struggling with that. He's become a bit of a jack of all trades but his talent warrants more. Don't get bent over on a fee, city.

Laporte is another who, if goes, leaves us short. Stones, Dias and Ake is not enough for nearly 60 games. He's probably better than stones but there's something about him that suggests a sulk is never far away. If we're getting less than £50m for him then we are costing ourselves money to replace him.

Preference is keep all three. Bernardo is probably the one we can most afford to lose, but I'd rather not. He's good enough to challenge gundogan, Foden, Mahrez, Grealish, and take the spot. Laporte differs because stones and dias play so well together, and the 3 at the back idea had long gone, and Gabby probably just sees that he's paid his dues under aguero and deserved the one striker spot,but playing two up is perfectly possible if they hit it off, and we all know Kane has suspect ankles anyway.

But in all three cases the player has to want to be here, otherwise commitment levels drop, intensity drops, and the starting eleven suffer from that too.
