I agree....one more season ...it then gives us the chance to look for a replacement.

Bernardo staying this season will give us the opportunity to search the market for a replacement. Finding a player who has an amazing work ethic, but also has a high level ot technical ability will not be easy.

And hates Dippers lets no forget. So might be the hardest of his traits to replace in today's society

It will be a sad day when the little man leaves, but I think this will be his last season at City.

It will be a sad day, at least he won't be going to Arsenal, or any other premier league club. Daft paying all that money for a new kitchen though only to leave it a year later.

Can't think of a better player. Keep him at all costs.

We have said the same thing for two seasons, players like Bernardo are not easy to find, a wonderful footballer , incredible work ethic and a superb man off the pitch, almost the perfect combination.

He deserves to have a reputation far greater than he has.

A proportion of future profits , yes. Basically like remortgaging your house repayments for that come out of your future income. I’m not saying it was their best option, I don’t know what other options they had,. Whatever it’s not a corrupt option which was suggested in the the post I replied to.

They are doing it very cleverly, this notion that Barca are about to go bankrupt is utter nonsense, they have made some very good purchases, Barca are on their way back.

Agree it is not corrupt, agree it isn't even wrong in any shape or form. But in the context of financial fair play, it is pretty brazenly unfair. But that's more an issue with FFP than it is with Barcelona in fairness.

I get that debt doesn't count and they can accumulate as much as they want to. But when scrutiny over 'market value' and sources is as big a deal as has been made out, how do you really put a value on future deals and markets. I get also that their issue is more with La Liga limits than Uefa ones.

While there is nothing technically wrong with what they are doing, it is very much against the spirit of the whole 'living within your means' thing that they themselves pushed for. I guess that's where they deserve kudos for being both cunningly astute enough to find a workaround, and having the balls to give zero fucks.

But the whole issue of FFP is wrong at every level, football is a business and stopping investment in a business is wrong and should be illegal.

Of course. Just a little ironic though isn't it.

They're not about to go bankrupt - simply because they've effectively sold around 25% of their TV income for 25 years, and are potentially selling 50% of merchandise income shortly.
Short term gain, possibly long term pain
