Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3547457, member: 9651"] Mahrez is the biggest loss imo. He was pretty much nailed on for over 10 G+A every season. Foden/Silva can do a job there just not to the same level. City will buy another winger but Mahrez isn't easily replaceable. Gvardiol is a huge signing for their defence. Upgrade on Ake and has a huge future. I think Pep will hold off on throwing him in for the first half the season, it will take some time to adapt to the league the style of play (albeit he'll have the right tools coming from Leipzig). Ake, Walker and Akanji can all cover anyway and Rico Lewis will be expecting minutes. Kovacic will do what it says on the tin. I think the big difference is he really isn't the same level of finisher that Gundo was, not many other 8's are. They'll have to compensate for those goals elsewhere. Will be interesting to see Pep mould him into that role and if he's got the game intelligence to get into the same positions - no doubt he's got other strengths that will make up for any deficiencies anyway. His press resistance and work in tight spaces is one of the best I have ever seen. [/QUOTE]
