It's Quiet 32 - enter at own risk

Pep doesn't prefer Bernardo out wide. That is a myth. Pep prefers Bernardo over Mahrez out wide.

And Sane or Sterling too it appears.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't does it matter ? Transfer forum just a bit of fun to pass the summer.

Where did I say it mattered? Try reading what I put, rather than what you think was typed out.

Pep bought a player to do what Bernardo does out wide in Mahrez. Mahrez proved he couldn't do it. Nobody else in the squad has the ability to play that right wing the way Pep requires. Gund failed their famously the previous season. Mahrez was a disaster last season. The ONLY player with the trickery and ball retention ability to play in the entire squad is Bernardo (Sane is a direct player who never would be picked for that role). So yes, Pep will go to great lengths to play him there as it is an essential part of us breaking down defenses. If Mahrez was capable of doing what Pep bought him for, clearly Bernardo would have played where he would have had the most impact, in the center.

So when the title was on the line in our final game of the season away at Brighton Pep played the disaster on the right that is Mahrez. That was a HUGE gamble then.

Gundogan failed famously at right wing ? Mahrez a disaster? Mahrez wasn't as good as we had hoped but he got some good numbers so it certainly wasn't a disaster, as for Gundo quote you've lost me there

The only thing I can think of is at Klanfield in the CL when Gundogan was put there on the team line ups before the game, although he played in central midfield.

If not that, I've no idea

Sane or Gundo ready to sign a contract extension?

Funnily enough - I think of one signs - so will the other. Hope both commit their long term futures. I was never a Gundogan fan but his performances at the end of last season had be scoffing ‘humble pie’. As for Sane he has it all - just needs to listen to Pep, watch Sterling , knuckle down and become world class.

“It’s time to buzz the tower”

My guess is We get Mbappe, De Ligt, Rodri and Messi within a few days.

I’ll have what your smoking

Heard that there may or may not be new signings this summer. I want my ITK status now.

You can't be an 'ITK' until someone calls you a cünt
