Squad

I think Odobert and Moore both favour the left (I agree Odobert looks comfortable on the right too). But that's fine long term, as it's the position sorted post-Son.

Ideally, I’d actually prefer to have a couple of years more between them from a squad succession planning perspective i.e. a top performer playing at their peak for now, Moore to take over in 2-3 years’ time. City do this so well.

Having said that, I’d rather have two talented players than none at all!

That’s Sonny

That’s Sonny

Yes, I guess that’s the thinking. For my money, post peak now and his body starting to creak though.

don’t disagree
But we have him
He ain’t going anywhere
So it makes sense to use him and he will has plenty in the locker

Son/Odobert

Solanke/Richarlson

Johnson/Moore

So, with Johnsons continued development, Solanke settling in well and the emergence of Moore as a contender for first team minutes already, what was probably considered the weakest part of our squad at the end of last season, is suddenly looking quite exciting

Absolutely.

Midfield too, though still early (like for some of those forwards). Adding Bergvall and Gray. Kul now primarily a central option. Bentancur back from injury. Even though we definitely could have done with some even stronger here and now upgrades/options we seem to be moving towards fixing the problem areas in the squad.

Think the links to Gallagher and similar players make sense in hindsight seeing how we're playing this season. We lack here and now options for Kulusevski and Maddison who are similarly creative.

It’s why I think we will got for Eze
Although that’s the role Donley plays
