It feels trite to start looking forward to the transfer window so soon after Manchester City have achieved the remarkable, but that's the relentless march of football for you.
Several heads, Jack Grealish's especially, will be banging this morning but attention will soon turn to the summer business in store. Unlike last season, City are in no need of a mass overhaul of the squad and therefore Pep Guardiola's winning formula. Instead, it will likely be back to what the boss likes most, gradual innovation rather than dramatic revolution.
This year, a lot of summer signings may depend on which players leave the club. A midfielder certainly needs to be signed to add some youth and fresh blood to the ageing engine room and the need for one will only increase if Ilkay Gundogan opts to depart rather than sign a new deal.
Bernardo Silva has wanted to return to mainland Europe for years and had Jack Grealish begging him not to 'go' in Monday's parade.

Aymeric Laporte is said to have grown frustrated at his lack of playing time this season and he has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. A new centre-back will have to be signed if he leaves as will a new full-back if Joao Cancelo leaves the club for good.
The Portuguese won the Bundesliga at Bayern Munich but didn't get the regular starting berth he was hoping for and he will return to Manchester after the German giants opted not to make the move permanent.
Cancelo may yet return to Guardiola's side but the nature of his sudden January exit makes it seem unlikely.
But who do you think City should keep and sell in the summer? The Blues currently have at least 25 players on their books and you can use the widget below to decide the fate of each of them. The results will be published later this week.
