Sure, it's not time for the Catalan giants to panic yet, but there's an underlying feeling that anything less than perfection between now and the end of the season may not be good enough.

The club's lack of recruitment following the young full back's move - they spent a total of just £2.5m bringing players in - had many questioning whether the club's Premier League status was in jeopardy.

Following a week in which: - Football in England RETURNED. - Spike Lee RETURNED with a new joint called 'Da 5 Bloods' (watch it - it's on Netflix so no excuses). - Football in Italy RETURNED. - Bob Dylan RETURNED with his first new album in eight years (it's gotten five stars across the board but that doesn't mean he's suddenly learned to sing at the age of 79). We at 90min's DEPR headquarters decided that it was about damn time we made our long-awaited RETURN to the internet too. So here we...

Pep Guardiola has said Manchester City may look to promote from within should Leroy Sané leave the club this summer, saying the changing financial situation - and the strength of his squad - means signing a replacement may not be viable. The Spaniard admitted last week that Sané - who has missed almost all of this season with injury - will not extend his contract with the club, and with his current deal only running until 2021, it seems highly likely City will cash in this summer to avoid...
