PSG is yet to concede in this competition.

Enrique you do this one .

Na waooo but how come they lost a match....hmmm

Kimbeast:
Nkunku, Madueke and George (loan) will likely leave. It's 7 players for 4 position actually.

If the aforementioned players are sold/loaned, two or three players will be brought in. No way they leave without Boehly getting a replacement. Zero chance

Bloated

Turkish league title might be hot next season. Gala and Fernabarche are going bands for bands. Duran just got signed.

Pedro is Nkunku replacement, Gittens is Sancho, George won't need a replacement, only a replacement for Madueke looks likely when he's sold. City have Savinho, Doku, Grealish, Foden, Bobb, Haaland, Marmoush, Cherki for 4 positions. Barcelona has Yamal, raphiniha, Lewandowski, Olmo, Ferran, Fermin and they are also actively looking for another winger to add. Every team needs depth.

You added Olmo and Ferrin, central midfielders when comparing Barca - nonsense and ingredients

Estevao is already replacing Madueke and if you ask me Neto should go to to make another space on RW for Palmer

Pep has already asked Man City board to sell many of those players you listed, that he will even resign if they don't sell them - certainly he will sell Grealish and McAtee at the first opportunity as well as even Savinho and Doku if decent bid comes in

Olmo and Ferran Torres are Central midfielders? Ok Chief

Moreso, aside the teams needing more depth factor, ..there are plenty of competitions to play for, thus, more matches to play. Don't forget injury factor, cards and the likes shall come up

Olmo and Fermin that you listed, what position do they play?

The only wingers at Barca are Yamal and Raphinha with Ferran sometimes deputising between CF and striker, and Fati taking several seats. That's 3 and a half wingers.

What's with all this hoarding mentality, even with all those many players we still struggled to finish fourth with teams with fewer players.

You mentioned Lewa, Ralph, Yamal, Ferran Fermin, and Olmo. This is just 6 players for 4 positions. Barca(Under Flick) play with a 10(Olmo/Fermin). This squad is too thin and Barca will add a winger and supplement from academy making it 8 or 7 players for 4 positions which is okay.

Big squad size is counter productive. Grealish, Bob, may leave. The City squad you listed will be cut down come August. Just watch.

It's a fallacy and utter stewpeeedety to think you need more players for Champions League than Conference league

UCL is not Conference League that you can rest your first 11. The same main players than play Saturday EPL will play Wednesday UCL

Imagine Ireti playing Tyrique or Gusto in UCL on a Wednesday, I'm sure a lot of members will complain

You only need 18 main outfield players plus 2 youth graduates = 20 to prosecute a campaign. Pep often had a first team squad of only 19 players (including goalkeepers) all those years he was dominating back to back

Barca will add a winger and make it 7 players for 4 positions, if Madueke and Nkunku leave it will be the same at Chelsea. Gittens, Neto, Jackson, Delap, Palmer, Pedro, Estevao. Even if we add another after selling Madueke it will be 8 for 4 positions which is still fine.

City are not cutting any of their main attackers. Grealish and mcatee are the ones likely leaving which still leaves 7 for 4 positions.

When it comes to defensive positions it's ok to have 8players for 4 positions so why is having 8 players for 4 positions in attack regarded as hoarding. How many defenders do we currently have?

Speaking of defenders what's the update on Fofana. Haven't heard anything about him for a while.

see as you squeeze olmo as central midfielder.

Nawa oo

It's not just Pep that's pretty much the standard and it'll not change. You want to win? Get a smaller yet competitive squad with other serviceable players. You're going nowhere with a bloated unmotivated players that'll be coming in just to close games. Injuries can happen that's why you'll need those serviceable backups/talented youth players.

All the talk about more games to go round nah just bobo as it has never worked anywhere. Nobody is here to be closing up games or playing Carabao cup. All the top players wanna play and be seen as important.

Liverpool (Klopp) Mane, Firmino Salah, I can't even remember thier back up. Origi?

Barca-Neymar Suarez Messi with some backups/youths

Chelsea-Hazard Costa Pedro/Willian

BBC(front 3 starters) Madrid with some serviceable backups.

The Bayern team that tormented people in 2010s had Robben and Ribery with Altintop as backup. Liverpool just won the league with Salah, Gakpo, Diaz and Jota(R.i.P).

Real won UCL with Vini and Rodrigo with Joselu as backup.

It's not by having a bloated squad. It's by having a competitive team and that's 18-19 first team players with some youths.

Interesting. What's your ideal front four for next season?

lordfalcao:
Madueke cannot even boast of double digit assist in 3 years, but he has the potential to be a world beater.

Maybe na panel beater you mean.

Maybe he should help you panelbeat your jakujaku Jackson's legs before leaving.

So in your mind, badiashile, fofana, gusto are reliable backup for first choice defenders

Chelsea are yet to concede a goal in the first half since the start of the club World Cup. We need to keep the intensity early in the second half and late in the game 🙏

Ebenezer2021:
[s][/s] Liverpool favourites?
The team has been demoralised with the absence of Trent Arnold and Diogo Jota

Both wont be missed. Jota was never a starter due to his numerous injury problems. Even in Portugal, he was third fiddle in the pecking order behind ronaldo and Ramos. As for Trent, he won't be missed because his place has been filled. Besides, he was a defensive liability.

Griffon:
Kudus is not talking to any other club at this point but only Spurs.

He’s set his eyes on the move. So we gotta look somewhere else for reinforcements.

Won’t be surprised if Madueke stays put and we miss out on both Kudus and Nwaneri.

what is nwaneri coming to do in this overcrowded squad

Amoto94:
Selling Madueke because Estevao is coming will be an avoidable mistake, Madueke is improving and is an able deputy across the frontline

same madueke that plays like a lone ranger or another one

Poch with the chance to win his first major piece of silverware with the USMNT. Currently tied 1-1 at halftime against Mexico in the final.

airmark:
Me I don talk my own. A better coach will improve Madueke to a world-beater, despite the rough edges in his game.

He played with Jakujaku Jackson that wouldn't score to give you assists, he will be playing with Gyokeres next season.

Improve and madueke in same sentence. That guy is just jackson 2.0 he can improve.

BlueMann:
Poch with the chance to win his first major piece of silverware with the USMNT. Currently tied 1-1 at halftime against Mexico in the final.

Unfortunately for Poch, it ends in a very well deserved win for Mexico, who were the better side from start to finish. Although they had a couple of very good chances of their own, the scoreline flattered the USMNT.

West Ham's Edson Alvarez scored the winner, after Fulham's Raul Jimenez equalized for El Tri in the first half following an early US goal from Crystal Palace's Chris Richards. PL boys all on the score sheet.

drisham:
Put things into context

Madueke is a good player

But agenda sha

with 5 assist

Enzo5:
did you read the context of that person's post?

Not bad make he go become salah for Arsenal.

Katcall:

I doubt we both have the same definition of "key member"

when we leave sd or td to make decisions you end up with unwanted players and a bloated squad. it's like a dad who doesn't know how to cook nor anything about nutrition just buying what he finds available in the market.

like buying sterling then mudryk then nkunku then felix and yet nothing to show for them, ten types of leaves, only, won't make a pot of soup
