Bernardo Silva

[rds1488]

The funniest thing about Barca media is they don’t even know which way to lie. Their president says Frankie ain’t leaving which means they won’t buy Bernie then the next day they’re like city only want €100 but they’ll try to get him less than what they want to sell De Jong. Like Barca can be the only winners in every transfer, yet look at the state of their club

City need not be scared of Barca or anyone. Some fans may need to catch up.

MUeN have a bone on writing this shit, just 24 hrs after a De Jong knockback and a Ronnie wants out quote.
Talk about trying to make us feel as shit as they do, but we never will cos we are light years in front of them

It’s not war, it’s a game.

That's the difference between the winners & losers in life. )(

An object lesson in how the media works.

Take the hysterical ravings of a hopelessly compromised, partisan hack writing for a glorified fanzine, filter this a couple of times through marginally more reliable publications citing apparently legitimate ‘sources’, and you’ve essentially laundered a load of complete bollocks into an apparently credible story - even the ‘truth’, if you’re lucky.

So expect this to become a indisputable fact - Bernardo has told City he wants to join Barcelona this summer - by the middle of next week at the latest.

When in reality it’s just a load of hysterically fabricated, fan-appeasing bullshit coming at us straight from Barca’s very own PR department.

I saw both publications earlier & just ignored them. They weren't even worth the cursory glance I gave the headline tbh...

Barcelona can't afford Bernie this season

They can if we are kind enough to give them Bernie and agree to pay his wages, it should be an honour for us to deal with the mighty Barcelona.

 

[RayCTID]

They can if we are kind enough to give them Bernie and agree to pay his wages, it should be an honour for us to deal with the mighty Barcelona.

And allow them to pay us over 10 years

 

[waspish]

And allow them to pay us over 10 years

And the first payment in 2030

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

They can if we are kind enough to give them Bernie and agree to pay his wages, it should be an honour for us to deal with the mighty Barcelona.

Or they could always offer us Eric Garcia in exchange for Bernardo. Who's in favour of this move?

 

[mexico1970]

Bernardo on a free and we pay his wages for the first 2 years, seems perfectly reasonable ;)

At last, someone who understands "lickle ol' Citeh's" place in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Academica]

Think it's inevitable that we will see Bernie at Barcelona soon.








24th August is my prediction.

 

[eversince 76]

You just wonder. Bernardo must know in what a shite situation the once great Barca are. Although it’s clubs like Barca and Real that seems to get money from Neverland when they are in financial trouble. Obviously with FIFA/UEFA looking the other way.

Than again it could very well be non football reasons that trigger his decision. But even he must have a smile on his face looking at the
at that club and their media forcing to try and keep the mighty image going.

Will be taking a few mates with him too

And that is fine, sell Bernardo, move on. If we can get around the £43m we paid for him, that will be good business. We should be happy with it, enough to cover the transfer fee we paid. Player wants out, no point keeping him. Palmer can replace him, or another academy kid. Take the money and the squad place.

He is older now, age depreciation means only 30 35 million

To be honest mate, with Amortisation we can accept less than that and still show a profit on the player.

His original contract at £43m spread over the five years he signed for amortised at a value of £8.3m per year.

He extended for another 6 years in 2019 (after 2 years of the original) - by which time his original fee had amortised down to £25.8m. That extension was for six years, at a value of £4.3m per year.

Three years have gone since then - which means his original fee has now amortised down to £12.9m

So in reality, anything above that figure shows as a profit on the books.

When you look at it like that, any offer over £20m we should take the money and run!

Absurd…
