Gundogan leaving in the summer. What a signing he was for £21m, scored around 20 goals last season, 6 good years of service. 

Fernandinho also on the way out and Jesus I'd say. Plus a few more maybe. I'd expect a Fernandinho replacement to be signed. Could see Grealish or Foden moving into a number 8 role

A revamp of the squad was/is badly needed....there’s only so much a manager(even pep) can say to players till it becomes the norm.

6yrs good service is a little overstepping the mark I think....he only really came into his own the last 2/3 seasons and has offered little this season,a good one to get off the wage bill.Jesus going seems to be gathering pace but I’m not so sure he’ll move on,back up will be needed if haaland doesn’t hit the ground running.

Wise up, Gundogan has been an excellent signing! Not surprised with your comment considering you never rated Rodri.

Gundogan hasn’t been that bad this season, has he?
Efficient and intelligent player 

Jesus has played some of his best football in recent weeks just as it looks as though he’s on the way out

what a player he’s been for City. No time in the pitch today for Jack Grealish - will be interesting how it goes for him next season.

Good time for Fernandinho to bow out. 
He has looked gone at the game in any appearances he's had recently
Great player in his day. 

Hopefully Gundogan stays, think the rumours in midweek about him leaving have been denied


Will be good to have a centre forward next season to compete for the endless number of crosses that get headed away by opposition centre halfs

Will the squad get a revamp JB?

Ederson - integral to how they play, should try to save more shots though, will be number 1 for the foreseeable 

Walker - watch how city have defended the last few weeks without him and it’s evident he’s a vital part of their setup. Number 1 right back at the club

Dias - big season for him next. I’d a feeling he was being a bit over rated last year despite his great performances and he looked shaky at times this. Still very young for a defender 

Stones - consistent season, doesn’t make many mistakes. Don’t like him at right back at all though

Laporte - mixed bag, lots of errors but also looked composed at times 

Ake - he looked good in a few games but then didn’t get another run. When Fernandinho playing out of position is keeping u out of the team it’s maybe not going to happen for you

Zinchenko - useful squad player 

Cancelo - sublime at times and ridiculous at others.

Rodri - Citys player of the season

Silva - class player 

De Bruyne - one of the best the leagues ever seen

Sterling - good player brings something different hopefully he stays 

Mahrez - had a great season which fizzled out a bit towards the end 

Jesus - tried hard but offside too much and isn’t clinical. Will leave 

Gundogan - intelligent effective player who’s been brilliant last few years 

Foden - class

Grealish - disappointing first season. Playing a new role and position he’ll surely improve next season

I’d agree with pretty much all of those assessments of players....but I’m sure maybe one (Jesus or sterling) or two(ake or zinchenko) will leave.if Jesus leaves it does only leave haaland as the only out and out center forward and with little cover,but haven played without a center forward for much of the last two seasons this is maybe why they’ll allow Jesus to go.

The back line still needs work....teams know that quick counter attacks can open the city defense that’s quite leggy without Walker but I can’t see any money being spent on the defense.

Haaland and Alvarez to be added to the squad will hopefully solve the center forward problem and with a bit of luck grealish will step up to the plate for the second season like most of peps signings.
