Livarmento left because he saw no path for the first team with James and Azpilicueta was still ahead of him in the pecking order. With Azpilicueta almost certainly gone, Livramento will still get plenty of minutes to let James rest.

I don't believe Livramento would be content as a rotational option after the season he had with Southampton

We'll see that next summer.

Gnabry officially off the table and extending at Bayern. Another attacker off the table.

Unfortunately, it’s looking more and more likely that Sterling will be our only attacking signing this summer unless something totally unexpected falls into our lap.

Sane available...Bayern offering to several clubs...though I will wait for bundesliga lovers to provide details about his recent performance...

No, none of the Bayern source confirmed Pedulla story.

Because he has been abysmal lately

Sané would be amazing but I thought I read recently that there’s no chance of Bayern selling him. 

I think our best hope at this point is to hope Barca fail to put together the money for Lewa and he falls into our lap.

He's (Ake) is not close to as bad as people are making out (as City's delight with him staying shows) but yeah £50m was far too much and I'm glad we've walked at that price.

Agreed. When the rumors first started, I thought he'd go for £30-35M considering City themselves had paid £40M for him and it's not like he's shown anything in the last two seasons to make his value go up from that.

For a cut-price deal I think he'd have been a good rotational option with plenty of PL experience but no way is he worth +50M. Happy the club have decided to walk away when City's demands turned out too high.

I think that is better try to sign kounde the fast we can

I don't think Raphinha is off the table to be honest. Brokealona where meant to complete that one this week but they cannot as they need to get FDJ to agree to leave an waive his £17mil. 

Could see that one returning as Barca are just bs'ing everyone at the moment. 

As for CB, not sold on Kounde or Kimpembe. Rather just roll with Colwill and have James slot in as a RCB when needed. 

[Artandur 939]

TT also confirmed he wants 3 CBs if Azpi leaves

Silva, Koulibaly, Chalobah and Colwill is way too light on depth to continue with the back-3. Sure James can cover RCB if absolutely needed but any minutes he plays away from RWB immediately leaves a massive problem on another position.

I haven't paid enough attention to Kounde or Kimpembe to say which would be better but surely one of them will come. 

Koulibaly-Silva-Kounde with Trev and Colwill in rotation would be good.

Or alternatively Kimpembe-Silva-Koulibaly with the same backups.
