it would be remiss not to include this contribution, even if Pep and the media speculators have failed to notice them yet.

You are speculating on the Internet. You're a media speculator. A strange one at that.

Am I indeed? A strange speculation from another strange speculator then. In fact, all posters are media speculators on your definition of the media - rather empties it of any significance.

Papers reckon we will get Rose with Shaw going to Spuds. Sounds plausible

our resident realist is clearly better acquainted with iberian sources than the likes of me, which isn't difficult to be fair.

------Stones-------------Van Dyck ----------Kolasinac-------
----Bellerin---------Fabinho---------- Isco-----------Sane----
--------DeBruyne-------------Silva------------------Jesus------

Bravo, Henrichs, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Sterling, Mbappe

Well, a bit more strange speculation perhaps.Unless there are some late surprises 6 are out of contract - Yaya, Clichy, Zabba, Willy, Navas and Sagna and I can't see our 4 principal loanees coming back. So my prediction is it's adios to them and our other Argies too, including Sergio sadly. Vinny looks to be out of the picture next season as well along with Bravo and possibly other current first team squad members. So 8 new faces could be a conservative estimate. It would be unusual for such a big influx but Watford managed to recruit double that number a couple of years back.

I can see Willy staying on to be numero duo, but agree about the rest. I also wonder what the point of Fernando will be next season other than to keep up the numbers. It's going to be an interesting summer and we're going to be linked with everyone.
