Phil is far better wide left than any other position as for the future who knows but not anytime soon, and I don't think any player could do Bernardos role he's irreplaceable imo so either way we get weakerBecause we couldn't get a more natural forward than Phil or because Phil couldn't handle Bernardo's role? Because I'll disagree with you on either point.
Foden will never replace bernardo. that will be grealish. Foden is the KDB replacementI love Bernardo but if we brought in a world class wide left player like Leao and moved Foden into Bernardo's spot we'd be more than OK. Maybe I'm in the minority but I expect Foden to eventually surpass Bernardo playing as an 8.
Have I missed somthing about de jong ?
How about 50 mil and Ansu Fati? Move Foden into midfield.I'd take 80m plus FDJ. Or 25m plus Gavi and Pedri. Otherwise, 120m or get fucked!
Laugh at that but it wouldn’t surprise me if they like balled us .£70M? Same price as the full back from Brighton? You’re having a laugh…
I’d like him but we are ducking about with a left back atm so that’s the priority . As did silva well I don’t think he will go but I’m not so sure atmNo, he just seems like the obvious person to come in when we're this late into the market and Barcelona want rid of him.
I'll have whatever you're having. You can't sell Bernardo for 70m when Cucurella has just gone for 62 plus a player on loan.If Bernie goes it must be for at least 70m.
I have no reason to say this but it wouldn’t shock me too much if Foden moved into central midfield and Mbappe rocks up. We will have a large surplus of money plus a healthy wage budget surplus.
I am sure I will get pelters for this but I can see it happening.
Having said that I would be absolutely gutted if Bernie leaves.
What difference does that make? So you're still moving a current wide player into the midfield. Whether its Grealish or Foden is not even the main point. BTW, there's no way if Pep had to replace Bernardo today from either Phil or Jack he would pick Jack.Foden will never replace bernardo. that will be grealish. Foden is the KDB replacement
oh no he isn'toh yes he is
I think Pedri has to be the one if we are bringing someone in from them. Over time I actually think Pedri will be better than Foden. The lad can control a game and he never stops running like Bernardo. Fati is a good player but his injury record worries me.How about 50 mil and Ansu Fati? Move Foden into midfield.
We'll agree to disagree about Foden. He's underutilized out wide and someone who would get better and better the more touches he got. Did you watch him play in the midfield for England? He was devastating. And a guy like Leao would be a better option wide left than Phil.Phil is far better wide left than any other position as for the future who knows but not anytime soon, and I don't think any player could do Bernardos role he's irreplaceable imo so either way we get weaker
Leao isn't good enough for us. Not yet anyway. If we are replacing Bernardo it has to be someone who's good enough right now.We'll agree to disagree about Foden.

I'm just trying to be realistic, but I get you're point. Not convinced Pedri will be better than Phil. Don't underestimate Foden's potential.I think Pedri has to be the one if we are bringing someone in from them. Over time I actually think Pedri will be better than Foden.

When Pedri is 25 he will be another Iniesta.
Sure he is, are you fucking kidding me?Leao isn't good enough for us. Not yet anyway. If we are replacing Bernardo it has to be someone who's good enough right now.
let's be honest, we are fucking this window up good and proper .I think selling Bernardo would be a disaster we don’t even have an additional forward if Harland gets injured. He doesn’t seem to fancy delap
It’s starting to head that way after starting off so brilliantly..let's be honest, we are fucking this window up good and proper .
let's be honest, we are fucking this window up good and proper .
What do you think we need that we don’t have other than a rotation LB? Seriously I can’t see the stress other than full back.. what am I missing?let's be honest, we are fucking this window up good and proper .
Do you seriously believe anything Pep says in pre match conferenceOK, we've all got it wrong then & you're spot on. Apologies on behalf of myself & several others on this forum. )(
So Bernardo's doesn't want to leave, all the speculation is bollocks, & Pep's Freudian slip mentioning Barca in connection to Bernardo 2 hours ago is all in my imagination?
Also, replying to an answer about Bernardo, Pep never said if a player wants to leave & a club matches City's valuation, we won't stand in that players way?
I suppose I also imagined Pep being asked if Bernardo does leave for Barça this window, if he'll seek to bring in a replacement, or run with what we have?
I must be me whose stoned. :-/
Made me chuckleWe sell Bernardo the entire season is a write off. It simply cant happen. Anyone excusing it is a fucking idiot. Sick of bending over backwards for Barcelona. He has 3 years left on his deal. Not for Sale at any price is the only reasonable response. And pull out of that showpiece friendly aswell for their fucking cheek.
