Not good enough to play ahead of KDB is that by name or by merit. Bernardo at times deserved to play ahead of Kevin this season.No its not simple because its bullshit.
He played wide right for Monaco, said he likes playing wide right and he played a lot of wide right for City. When KDB was injured he got to play in midfield.
He wasnt handled poorly, hes just not good enough to play ahead of KDB.
Pep went out of his way to find him a role on the pitch this season, he went to bat for him in public after the Conguitos thing and he said he would never want to sell him.
Pep couldn't have done much more for Bernardo.
I think you'd have to be willfully stupid to really thing a player not good enough to start every game in his favourite position is "being handled badly"
What nonsense? If the story is false, fair enough, but we’re all reacting to the same story hereSo you're inventing nonsense and getting upset when people point it out.
What would you say was his best position? Personally 3 titles in 4 years since signing him wouldnt point towards pep making too many errors in managing our playersNot playing in his best position, it's actually quite simple isn't it?
Tbf we got swallowed whole by Chelsea as wellTrue enough.
He was swallowed whole by Chelsea in those games.
He doesn't look half the player he was maybe three years ago.
No he isn't better than KDB. that isn't a criticism he just isn't not sure any midfielder in Europe is .Not good enough to play ahead of KDB is that by name or by merit. Bernardo at times deserved to play ahead of Kevin this season.
Citys best form this season come when Kevin was out, Bernardo and Gundo was unbelievable during that period.
Maybe the term 'best position' was the wrong term. Playing Bernardo with freedom is where he shines.What would you say was his best position? Personally 3 titles in 4 years since signing him wouldnt point towards pep making too many errors in managing our players
How dare you?!I trust the club yadda yadda yadda but not sure I like where this window is potentially heading.

Another one who’s let it go right over their head :)*logs into bluemoon*
*logs back out again*
True enough.

Maybe I'm mixing him up with Koke, another player who also has a rep better than his talents?
Partey was always the guy in midfield who caught my eye, rather than the other two and Rodri.
Partey has hardly ripped it up at Arsenal when fit.
The club has a great relationship with Mendes by all accounts, and to some extent, he manipulates a large portion of the market.I do think Khaldoon's recent interview about being "canny" and creative in the market is starting to show itself by some of these suggestions players will be moving out.
We want Kane and Grealish, which is more than the cash at hand.
There's no way we would press ahead on these for so long if we didn't have a fair indication from members of our current squad as to who might be open to moving on.
Moreso, in Mendes, we have an agent who knows exactly what each club is after.
True enough.

AM remind me of Nottingham Forest under Clough -a team full of talent who seem lost when they transfer elsewhere and never display the same levels of performance in a different set up. I’d personally steer well clear of AM players - it’s all about the system there.
So, we’re re-signing Kante?Exactly. So why bring someone in who won't improve upon it?
Better at the toon than at the fucking rags.well if they going to be taken over by the Saudi’s maybe we get some decent money for our players bottom line is though persuading players to go to a club who will struggle to win things in the ffp era..
Yeah I agree perhaps he’s suffered in terms of role.Maybe the term 'best position' was the wrong term. Playing Bernardo with freedom is where he shines.
