Who’s gone in the summer?

[blueparrot]

Gone : Bravo, Otamendi , Silva , Fern and Sane.

Complete over reaction regarding some of the other players who have won the league back to back breaking god knows how many records.

Think thats about right, doubt it will be much more tha 4 out 3 in.

Almost certainly there will be actually. Bravo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Silva, Sane, Aguero (need to get his replacement in advance) alone need to be replaced. On top of that couple of underperforming players will go like Mendy and Mahrez. Thats already 7 players. Will be at least 5 in and out due to players' age and contract stuff.

So will be similar to 2017 summer.

Easier said than done though, we will be quoted huge fees for the players we want to buy but won't get big money for sales other than maybe Sane and Mahrez, We still have to balance FFP as well.

We know we will lose Silva and I expect him to be replaced with Foden.
Guessing that Otto will leave an be replaced with Garcia.
Bravo to leave and hopefully replaced by a home grown keeper.

I hope we can keep hold of Sane but i suspect he will be off as well,

So possibly 3 or 4 leaving and two to be replaced by Garcia and Foden, and hopefully it will free up two forgien spots.
Replacement for Kompany and possibly Sane.

Next Season we will look to replace Aguero and Ferny, hopefully Mendy as well.

With the issues with Stones i would be surprised if we allowed both Otto and Ferny to leave, I suspect Ferny will stay for another 12 months.

Agree with that except I don't know of any homegrown keeper that can replace Brave. We aren't going to replace him with anyone that can't pass.

We already have a keeper, Zak Steffan.

To be fair I don't think there are many keepers out there who could match Eddie so therefore any competent keeper would be ok as a backup.

He isn't homegrown though is he ?

Why does he need to be homegrown though?

Nobody will match Ederson but they need to be better han competent and I don't think any homegrown keeper is. It isn't just passing , it's reading the game and seeing the pass, as well as being totally confident to receive the ball under pressure and pass out, I just don't know of any homegrown keeper that comes close.

One thing we have to address is pace and height at the back,

I do like the idea of playing Walker as part of a back 3 and then two fast wing backs or wingers who can track back.
