I would be shocked if Milner get more time in midfield than at full back. As it stands now, we have three players (Pervis, Milner, Solly) in the squad with 30+ games as left back and two right backs (Veltman, Lamptey) with 30+ PL games (and Gross must be close to 20) in the role. People want...

Finding someone more solid than Solly in the LB role = doable Finding someone willing to back up Pervis in the LB role = doable The combination = difficult Solly is a good left back so we'd need a very good one who would also have to settle for limited game time. Not happening imho which is why...

Well if there is any point in signing players that are primarly full-backs, they need to be better than the other squad players that "could" play there. Essentially we need to find some LB who is better in that role than Solly (and others) but who would still be fine to sit and watch Pervis play...

Last season the team had a very clear and straight forward structure, at least compared to the "well, here's 11 players and they will all be everywhere and play in five different positions every game". I would not be surprised if we see something a bit more in between those approaches this...

No and we know he prefers to play right winger, but I don't think it should be ruled out as a solution if Pervis is injured or something.

Another winger would make it possible for March to fill in as LB, if needed, without losing too much attacking power.

So how many players do you suggest we should have? Pretty much every team got a similar squad size whether they play in Europe or not. Difference might be two or three players. What EL means to us right now is an additional five games (six games in Europe, but one less in the League Cup)...

Yet any time he was fit, he casually walked into the starting eleven ahead of the player we're now seemingly willing to pay close to £50m for.

Sure hope not. Wonderful bloke and great defender.

I think City used 23 players last season when they won the PL and CL

Fans want us to have 40 players, those in charge of it more likely to think 23-24 is enough. Same as always.

What happened to Welbeck?

If you exclude Evan Ferguson, Danny Welbeck, Deniz Undav, Joao Pedro and Julio Enciso, it certainly looks rather thin.

Clubs might know that he would cost them an AWFUL lot of money, and with Cucurella in mind they might wait and see if he can repeat his performances from last season.

LCB is the most obvious one. LB probably likely, but then again Roberto might think Lamptey is a decent cover on that side. If Caicedo moves on, I would expect another midfielder but as it stands there is already quite a lot of competition and someone else (probably Alzate) might have to move as...
