The weather ffs, Barcelona is NOT Southern California. Great player and great service but like Jesus, if you don’t want to stay, next…
He “busted his gut” doing his job.Coutinhio just like Grealish were well over value.
Bernardo as said has busted his gut for us in difficult personal circumstances, respect and loyalty works both ways.
We have had some of the worlds greats playing over 10 years for this club, sadly in this case we have a wonderful player who wants to leave for PERSONAL reasons, the club will show their love and respect and do what they can to make it possible and so they should.
Without the ball he literally s*cks.
I’ll tell you EXACTLY what he is worth. And you can use this for any transaction cos it’s dead handy: whatever someone is willing to pay. Trust me, works every time. Try it when selling your house. “It’s worth 300k”. “I’ll give you 200k and by the way nobody else has put an offer in”. “Yeah but I reckon it’s worth 300k”. Guess what the house was worth? It wasn’t 300k.
Agree...I could condone cheating with Shakira tho...Great guys don't cheat on Shakira.
I hear you but you can't run a club on sentimentality...this is big, big business...if Bernardo was to go the money has to be right...fair market value...no discounts...So a player who really wanted to leave two seasons ago but after talking with Pep busted a gut for this club, won two back to back titles and you don't want the club to grant his wish and do what they can to make this move possible?
No one at this club wants Bernardo to leave but it's quite clear the player no longer wants to stay in the UK, I hope and believe the club will do what they can to make the figures work for the benefit of Bernardo, he has been an outstanding player for this club and deserves our respect and best wishes for his future.
Please don't lump Grealish in with Coutinho...Grealish has 4 more years to prove his worth...AND FOR THE ONE THOUSANDTH TIME HIS SIGNING IS GOOD BUSINESS...Coutinhio just like Grealish were well over value.

I know.Please don't lump Grealish in with Coutinho...Grealish has 4 more years to prove his worth...AND FOR THE ONE THOUSANDTH TIME HIS SIGNING IS GOOD BUSINESS...
I have to say I'm glad you're not involved in the club's decision making process...60m and they settle his contract, great deal for all
Nkunku...For me Barella or Bellingham. I'm not an FDJ fan. I want fresh, dynamic, lively and energetic midfielder in terms of replacing Bernardo.
I think it may count as a “time out” scenario if you have the wooing ability to get close to her. So no need to have guilt trip and all that. All the best!Agree...I could condone cheating with Shakira tho...

Barcelona midfielder linked with a swap deal involving Manchester City star
Silva has reportedly discussed with manager Pep Guardiola and Manchester City officials of his desire to try a new challenge elsewhere.mancitysquare.com
Easy story but we knew this was coming.
Still to quick. Wants to play at 100mph. great in the front line, not so much in an 8 compare to Silva/Gundo etc. No tempo controlI've said this in another thread, but if Silva left, one option for me which would soften the blow would be if we put Foden in that RCM.
High energy, great ball control, can drop deep to pick up the ball and progress it forward, high football IQ, plus offers a threat with his finishing. Also knows the system inside out.
He's had a few games in this position and he looked great and I'd like him on the ball as much as possible throughout a game.
Would obviously be a work in progress but I would much prefer Phil then bring in someone from outside of the club.
We could then go all out for a goal scoring forward like Nkunku or Leao.
What do you guys think?
