Bernardo Silva

[flook]

Worrisome this rumour if there is any truth, but probably a further unsettling effort given the potential semi final against Barca

How many years has Bernardo got left on his contract ?

They can't even afford to buy our 19 year old CB with 10 league starts to his name and 12 months on his contract.

The idea that Barcelona could afford Bernardo was always a complete fantasy dreamt up by the catalan press.

I think he’d actually be yet another bad buy for them anyway. That’s not a criticism of Bernado just that with Messi still set to be their main man next season their team is crying out for some pace.

Total hypothetical.

Straight swap b.silva for messi. Would you?



I genuinely hand on heart can't say i think i would. On paper, should be a no-brainer. Yet, it is not.

Edit: for clarity, purely a philosophical question, as to how ww personally value. b.silva.

It would need to be Bernardo on a 2 month loan in exchange for Messi on a permanent transfer plus 150mill.

I'm not sure id even do that.

Very short memories on here (not aimed at you)

Love how a paper print something and he gets piled on as shit and get rid,do you lads never learn to give a talented player a break when they are having a bad time for some reason

I am more bothered that he is 26 thought he was 24

So we’re talking about one of greatest players ever and a player who all season has struggled to get a game ahead of Foden, Gundo and Mahrez? He’s had one good season in 3 and even then didn’t get that many goals or assists whilst playing on the right. Even at 33 Messi scores treble and creates double to Bernie.

For a couple of million a week in wages, for a maximum of 12-18 months, for the privilege of watching him likely obliterate dressing room harmony due to his ridiculous wages, in exchange for giving up a young lad who has shone for City and , only by his own very high standards, has just had a less than perfect season on part because the English media decided to paint him as a nazi .

The days of city signing players who believe they are doing us a favour by coming here are thankfully over.

10 years ago I might have been persuadable on this but to be fair Messi was in his prime then and Bernardo was a young teen.

But give up Bernardo for a fella that has never shown any inclination to step outside the cosseted comfort of Barcelona? There is no money that could make that deal attractive.
