Who’s gone in the summer?

Rodri is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the league. Why would we sell him?

And Gundogan is very overrated, I don't know if you've watched the past 5 or so games, but he's been immense.

Do you mean underrated?

Agree on Gundo, he's been awesome recently and showing what a player he is. No chance we can afford to lose him.

As for Rodri, im far from convinced. IMO he offers very little and just will not suit the PL. He is slow and ponderous on the ball, isnt quick enough to play that position and in the style we play that needs the DM to link the ball into attack. He has no ability to pass the ball forward between lines and drive the team forward. He's very nice when he can have time on the ball and pass it 200 times a game 10 yards to his left or right, but thats not what we need.

I just don't get Rodri, though he's got the hardest of acts to follow in Fernandinho. Maybe I don't see what he does well, to me he's slow, immobile, doesn't seem able to tackle, basically a recycler of possession. A more expensive version of Matic.

Gundogan has been great last few games I agree.

'doesn't seem able to tackle' - Thats complete shite.

Just one instance (of numerous) was his magnificently timed and goal saving challenge against Chelsea,on the edge of the box,where Neville was doing his best to influence VAR.

That side of his game goes largely unnoticed by many,it would seem
 
Out:
Zinchenko
Mendy
Garcia
Mahrez
Aguero :(
Dino?

In:
Saka
Halland
Bennacer
Messi


Ederson

-------------- Stones-----Dias------Laporte


Cancelo/walker -------------------------------- Saka



-- -- Rodri/Bennacer--

-----------+Messi ----KDB --------Foden

----- Halland------
 
Why do people want so hard to get rid of ZInchenko? Who is better option in the league or in Europe when we play the system in which he is employed; unless we sign another MF and force him to adapt playing a LB. He - and Pep with his 'crazy' football ideas - created this really strange system, where there is a pivot 60-70 yards on the left, who is assured in his passing and with at least three passing options, rotating pitch 90 degrees and it all gives us so many different options in attack against packed 5-4-1 defences. Pep started it with Delph, and it worked miracles, so I don't see reason for ZInch to be sold if he doesn't want to leave. And he is on a tiny salary that it almost look he plays for free for us. Bombing LB's on the other side, like Mendy, never seem to work.
But people wanted Cancelo out until he proved what a good player he is; ditto Gundo,Rodri etc. Apart from Fern and Aguero maybe, I don't see any player from the current squad that should be sold. Even Bernardo started picking up his form. But we definitely need another striker.

I don’t think that many wants to get rid, but to sign a new LB either Mendy or Zinchenko has to go. Lots of clubs are interested in Zinchenko and he seems much easier to offload than Mendy due to injury record and salary

Unless Mendy gets back to some level of fitness then he has to go.
Not sure what his wages are and what his sale value is, if anything.
We cannot have a player taking up a foreign spot on our panel and not contributing. If by summer transfer season he is still not playing regularly then he has to be released.
