Read on the BBC before that someone offered £126m for him at the end of last season! He didn’t want to go and we didn’t want to sell. Great decision. Great season.

Yes saw that. Incredible considering he was still settling in last year. What price now? Great to hear he loves it at city. My player of the season.

I'm pretty skeptical of that. Not because he's not worth it, but because there's only 3 clubs in Europe who can afford that. Barcelona had just spent 150m on Coutinho and still thought he'd be great, PSG were so close to breaking FFP that they were scraping around to get Eric Choupo-Moting on a free from Stoke, and Real Madrid lost Zidane because they wouldn't spend big to rebuild.

Imagine him and fully fit KDB. The Scousers had their best chance with our best player missing most of the season and they blew it. It won't ever be close again after this imo.

It will be close no matter what. Not do much coz we wouldn't be better, but simply because we can't help others pick up points against them.

I mean we had to win 14 straight to fend them off. That tells you the Spurs, Arsenal, United, and Chelsea's aren't doing enough against either one of us at present.

I'm sure they thought us having games against Spurs, United, and Leicester was a tough run in. It turns out we both just crushed the opposition anyway.

2 months ago, I was certain 95 points will win the league. As it turns out it took 14 straight to win. If someone bhad told me the winner would need 98 points to win 2 months ago, my conclusions would have been, well I guess we are not winning it then. As 98 points would have meant we weren't allowed to drop a point in the last 14. That's just not realistic.

Speaks volumes that we were able to do it. But given the exact same scenario 10 times, I'll bet against it every time and likely win more than half the time.

You're also forgetting that it's not realistic for Liverpool to reach 97 points again.

That's the whole point, because it was unrealistic for both of us, I believe the fight wlbe close next year no matter how much either one of us improve.

Whether the fight is close will depend on how much better everyone else gets. And not much on how much better either one of us gets.

But we had a precedent last year where we got even more points. And almost went for a repeat with no KDB and no Mendy. Surely the odds of us having 95+ points is much higher than Liverpool, even more so with the addition of VAR next season.
 
My favourite player to watch. When will the 5 in a row Dzeko song be changed to the 14 in a row Bernardo song? :)
 
Kompany: “I say to him often you are 50 per cent clown, 50 per cent leader”.
“When he becomes 25 per cent clown, 75 per cent leader he will become the captain of this team.
“He is so strong and to be honest there is nobody who deserves this title more.”

It was only that close because we lost to Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Leicester City. The first two in particular were unusual results for us. We won the 'top six' league by a more comfortable margin of six points. That is more indicative of the gap between the two teams and if you then consider the points they earned from offside goals, flukes, own goals and dives, the margin is even greater. Next season I would not expect as close a finish.
 
He’s our Messi.

The lad is a playstation player.

He has to have sold his soul to the devil.
 
A team of Bernado Silvers wouldn't be beaten. Even if you got the odd scruffy corner they would run you into the ground. If every signing we made was half as good we'd be in a great place indeed. Absolutely love him.
 
Pretty sure he will be taking over Aguero's role of being linked to Real Madrid every summer from now on.
