Who’s gone in the summer?

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Bravo and David are sure to go. Otamendi, Stones, Gundogan, Zinchenko should all go as well, none of them are good enough.

then you have the Sane conundrum. If he doesn’t sign by June tell him he’s being sold.

You can not force any player on a contract to leave. This fact gets overlooked on these threads. I think there is a 30% chance that Sane plays out his last year with us.

 

[Zenmanc]

Mendy is going nowhere. Too many posters on here too daft to notice his improvement over the last month.

Agreed but Zinchenko simply is not a capable back up and we can't assume Mendy will ever be fit enough to be relied on durability wise.

Yeah, he's no fullback that's for sure. The Delph experiment worked. The zinchenko one hasn't.

 

[Keeper!]

I’m beginning to think this might be the time to cash-in on Sterling.

I know his stats will suggest otherwise but he’s been rather poor for much of the season.

His value will never be higher and I think he will want out in the next couple of years anyway.

Time to say thank you and goodbye.

Sell Sterling and bring back Sancho.

 

[Easy]

Except you can. Why did Laporte not start his return with the u23s? The club is already pushing Leroy towards a decision. He’s been training with the first team for a month already.

you can tell him ok if you want to go for free enjoy another season of watching from the stands. Most players will just agree to leave. A footballer’s career is an extremely short one.

For me I’d look at the following leaving during the summer to give is a chance to reshape the squad.

Bravo
Otimendi
Zinchenko
Stones
Gundo
Silva (shame)
Sane (think he mentally checked out last Aug)

I think we need a couple of CBS - one good and one exceptional. We need a class midfielder to play with Rodri with a decent engine and pace. Obviously we need a sub keeper - someone home grown would make sense and finally I think we need a striker with shooting boots to support Kun and Gabby but I can see Gabby playing wide left more next season filling the void left by Sane. I don’t think it’s numbers we need but we really need quality and particularly in midfield competition for places. With the exception of Kev and at times Mahrez our midfield has been bang average at times this season.

I think these are deffo gone:
Dave ( broken hearted)
Otters ( its just time, thanks)
Bravo ( same)
Zin ( same)

Sane ( went last summer in his head)
Then i think these players may go if circumstances line up
Cancelo
Sterling
Aguero ( hope not just a vibe)

This thread is getting silly it seems apparent that people change their views especially on Zinchenko and Gündogan based on big games / poor results

Don’t get me wrong I would like players with more pace and attacking ability but they are every skilled players and Peps players and we need players that can play a role and do not demand to play every game we also cannot change half the team and buy all the best players especially if the ban is upheld

Zinchenko is clearly deemed better than Angelino Yet Angelino is first choice left back for third best team in Germany I personally would have liked to have seen Angelino play more as he gets forward better

carnt believe so many people seem to treat this like FIFA with no spending restrictions

We won’t get people buying all our players either

I would be inclined to keep stone for one more year

 

[cjn]

For me I would ship off Otamendi, Stones and Gundogan at a minimum and in an ideal world would replace Mahrez and possibly Cancelo as well. More realistically I think it'll be one of Stones or Otamendi, probably Cancelo, then Bravo and Dave leave because they're out of contract.

Angelino only works in a 3ATB, which is what he plays at Leipzig. Amazing going forward, providing width and can whip a good cross. Very limited in defence which means he straight up can't play in a 4ATB. That's why he's off to Leipzig
