Yes, there are a number of things that you should pay attention to because a big team will lose balance if many of their core players leave in this summer's transfer window. Manchester city just made their history last season by winning the treble winner. So there are several steps that pep must anticipate to balance their strengths in the next season, where he must be able to persuade star players not to leave in this transfer market.

Indeed pep guardiola has some stock players but if some influential players in the depth of their squad leave in this transfer window then it is very likely that manchester city will also lose its best form next season. Therefore I think pep guardiola has to hold Walker and Silva to stay with them next season.

I think you have the correct assumption there, although I don't completely agree with you. Manchester City is a big team that is ready to bear all the consequences when they lose several important players. Gundogan and Mahrez have left, it is good to have another player fill the void in that position. Riyad Mahrez last season was good, but he has dropped a bit compared to the previous season. Riyad Mahrez only scored 5 goals in 30 appearances in the Premier League last season, but he created 10 assists to create goals for Manchester City.

Manchester City are not going to lose the balance just because a few players leave, but I agree it will be one of the issues the coach will need to adjust to. Pep Guardiola has some great midfielders, he has strong defenders too, so there shouldn't be too much trouble about his form next season.

That's how I see it as well and also Guardiola has gone through all potential issues in his mind and whether they could get problems if they let players go. If he wants a player to stay, I am sure he would tell the Manchester City bosses to do whatever it takes to convince a player to stay. If they can't, Guardiola will know whom they should sign to fill the position. They aren't going under water next season because out of a sudden they realize that midfielders are missing.

It is very normal for some players to change teams every season. If some players of the team change, the performance of the team does not end completely. Manchester City have lost their best midfielder İlkay Gündoğan and their best defender Kyle Walker is rumored to leave the club. One left and one is trying to leave. Even if these two leave, Manchester City will not be completely lost because Manchester City will definitely hire someone like them to replace these two. Manchester City will try to keep Kyle Walker if he wants to change clubs. If he cannot keep him in the team after trying, Manchester City will definitely make another replacement instead. Players will come and go and hopefully it won't have too much of a negative impact on a club.

Of course they won't be lost and if that was the case, what do you think would Guardiola have done instead of letting them go? He would have told his bosses to take care of these two players and pay them whatever they want to not leave the club. Might be too hard in the case of Kyle Waker depending on where he goes, but they could have convinced Gundogan to stay if Guardiola had seen no other chance but to keep him in the team. The most important midfielder is still Kevin De Bruyne I think. Wink

Gundogan played an unbelievable season, but De Bruyne is still a bit better than him in my opinion.
