Barca are praying that Utd pay over the odds for FDJ so that they can keep their heads above water financially, all this Bernardo talk is pipe dream being sold by their president in order to keep the socios content/hopeful through the summer (similar to them being IN for halaand after they won the Clásico 4-0, its all public perception/politics for them). I’d be surprised if they managed to sign anything more than Lewandowski and a couple of players on a free.
Although I’m sure Bernie prob does fancy the move…hard to see him leaving this window. Would be prudent to have a replacement in mind for the couple of windows all the same.
then a loan move to benfica would make him happybollocks , he has talked about why he was unhappy , nothing to do with football at all
If Pep thinks he’s capable then surely that would be a fantastic thing rather than bad. I don’t think Silva will leave this summer but if and when he does I’d be delighted to see McAtee step up.Idk why but i have a bad feeling that we will end up making mcatee the silva replacement after hearing shouts yesterday that he won't leave on loan a d will be introduced to the first team
sam lee does not have a high ranking source. his sources are low level like training ground guys, cooks, media guys etc. while the other guys reporting on city in national newspapers have more high level sources.
How do you know Palmer isn’t ready to replace Sterling?Romano knows fuck all
Silva isnt leaving (imo)
Palmer is not ready to replace Sterling
I agree we’re fucked if we get injuries. We limped over the line last season. If the squad gets smaller it would be a huge mistake.
However I trust the club to get it right so im not flapping
These values are from Spanish papers from what I have seen.
Nothing from English journos like jack, Mullock, Martin etc or Pol regarding ANY
potential price tag city will put on Bernie - so hopefully there is nothing to it and he is staying.
Edit : Sam lee did mention £75mil potentially IF he were to go.. But that's speculative
