Who is sold between now and deadline day ?

It's a fine balancing act. Who has performed admirably in the biggest games and who has been found wanting? Who is showing signs of improvement and who is repeatedly making the same mistakes or not influencing games as they could. People saying Gundogan should leave are not remembering his goals to win the league versus villa. Has Akanji performed well on the biggest stage when Stones was out injured? It's a nightmare for the recruitment team because it looks like 3 or 4 have to go. It'd be easier if a few requested a transfer but why would players want to leave the best club on the planet. Savinho scored that wonder goal v Newcastle so is he finding form? Doku is fantastic at trying ro beat a defender but is his end product enough. I loved Bernardo and his cross that almost had Erling on the scoresheet on Saturday. If only all our wingers found a blue shirt.
 
Very difficult to know. I was getting excited at the prospect of Savinho, Ederson and Rico being sold and now not looking likely to happen.

If those moves had happened Donnarumma and a good right back could have been a real possibility.
Ederson transfer seems the weirdest. One minute it's looking likely the next he's training and smiling. Think he stays now and gets his last big payday next year. I'd of walked to Spurs with Savinho on my back if they really did offer us 50m for him.
 
McAtee left Monday officially, so that's 1 since the question was asked (I think)
We're not exactly running out of time, but I reckon it's more likely we'll have to settle for loans the longer it goes.
Pep has not helped by repeatedly telling anyone willing to listen that he wants a smaller squad - but he's our manager and knows what he wants. Tends to lead to "ok you need to offload, well we're looking for 20% off" - like dealing with car dealers trying to shift excess stock.
Viana has his work cut out
 
These are normally just poster’s wish lists rather than realistic predictions. Not that it’s bad….just as long as you are aware ;-)
 
Akanji, Gundogan, possibly Savinho plusone of the keepers

Or both keepers if Donnarumma comes!!

Agree about Ederson transfer it's strange one. The ridiculously low original supposed offer of 3 million, why he would even want to play in Turkey, why are better clubs not interested. he' staying, he's going and read today he would start against Spurs.
 
Out: Akanji, Ederson, Gundogan, Savinho Ortega
In: Rodrygo, Donarumma
 
Ortega, one from Ake or Khusanov (loan), Gundo is a possibility (one from him or Kova might be omitted from the CL list, if necessary).

Gvardiol is back this weekend. One from Ake, Khusanov and Akanji won't make the match group, which will be telling.
 
Looking like the most likely at the moment are Ederson, Ake and Savinho.

Personally would prefer all 3 to stay and it be Gundogan and Akanji to leave to bring our non-HG into order.
 
I would like to see Gundo ( should never had come back)
Ake never fit
Akanji not good enough was a cheap stop gap at best.
Ortega Trafford replaces
Ederson I think he wants to go.
