Gonna be interesting this summer, they’ve said they’re not getting another LB, so it’s only really DM where we need cover. Can you see any other areas that need strengthening?
I think the squad, as it is right now, is absolutely fine (in theory) but as always it will depend on who goes and who stays.
I can't imagine we'd let all of Gundogan, Danilo, Otamendi, Kompany and Delph (the ones strongly linked with moving on) leave in the same window. Rumours circulating around the futures of Jesus and Sane too.
Of those, I'd wager Delph is certain to leave. Gundogan has hinted at signing a new contract which would be great news. Apparently Inter are looking more towards Darmian (lol) than Danilo so perhaps he'll linger for another season. Otamendi wants to return to Spain, which means we really should be nailing Vinny down to another years contract.
I said in theory above as I do think the squad needs a little freshening up. It's essentially the same group of players who have achieved these 198 points in 2 seasons. Which is of course incredible, but domestically where does this group go from there? We've won it in style and then retained it in style, so perhaps we do need a couple of new faces who haven't been in amongst that success to help keep everyone on their toes.
We're lucky in that I don't think Pep would allow things to go stale or complacent, and we shouldn't have any need for wholesale changes anytime soon (unlike 16/17) but one or 2 additions would be good.
