Of course they are

First match of season against Burnley and Kompany.
Chance to check out our next manager?

We're most vulnerable in the 1st few games and that's what Vinny will tell his players...but any team we put out should still be enough to beat them.

We also fly out to Athens straight after for the Super Cup and have Newky at home following.....tough 8 days to start the season imo.

Rumours around of a fair few exiting too - going to be an interesting few weeks ahead I reckon.

forgot about super cup. will be a very interesting transfer window. Not adverse to losing Mahrez, laporte, phillips and gomez. would love to see gondogan stay then move into coaching. want silva to stay and not sure about walker has good games but lapses in concentration always makes us vulnerable. i know hes quiock but at 33 for how much longer. Maybe time to cash in on him.

Personally I wouldn’t be too bothered if Gomez Laporte &Mahrez go. Think we need to keep Phillips unless we are going for Declan Rice. We need back up in case Rodri misses any games. Really don’t want Silva or Gundogan to go but if one has to, then I’d rather it were Gundo due to his age. Apparently Macatee will be in the match squad next season so hopefully he can be as successful as Foden.

Id genuinely love to see a few kids integrated into the first team squad such as Doyle,Mcatee and Charles possibly borges too. i would like to see them slowly integrated like foden was but not too many too quickly. wonder what will happen with Wilson Esbrand who was on loan at Coventry whether we are selling him or another one integrating into the 1st team, Forgot about Harwood-Bellis and Mbete too. Plenty of up and coming talent just not sure how far they can go?

I would say play them in the cup matches but i am gready. I want 6 trophies next season.
