Bernardo Silva

[Deleted member 81382]

I think for Pep its negligent to have players in the squad who don't want to be here. We don't know if that is the case for Bernardo because I don't think he would ever go public and will just get his head down but if Pep looks into his eyes and thinks the passion isn't there then hes got to go.

Bernardo obviously wants to go to Barcelona but I really don't think he's the type of person to kick up a fuss in order to get the move nor will he if it doesn't happen. He'll do what he did after last summer, get his head down and put in consistently top drawer performances.

As for Pep, he said in his press conference on Friday that Bernardo is focused on the new season and that he really hopes to keep hold of him. Pep wouldn't say that if he thought Bernardo might down tools or be a problem in the dressing room.

Probably offer us it in Luncheon Vouchers!

What we have moved on from Green Shield stamps ?

De Jong hates Manchester apparently. No point having another player who doesn't want to live here

He doesn't hate Manchester, he hates the thought of playing at United.

He and his family were shown a house in Hale by City and it was all agreed, before Barca came in with a ridiculous offer.

Are we at all interested in him this time?

Given Barça's reticence to put their hands in their pockets and actually pay anyone what they owe them, I'd be surprised if Mendes wants to deal with them when he could get that thick Qatari wedge from PSG no questions asked

Surely a player exchange makes sense. 2 separate deals so Barca can fiddle the books -:)

TH, good sir… in your OPINION, not what you’ve heard (to be clear to others if you reply). How do you see this playing out? Barça or PSG and who would we likely get to replace him and is it doable before the window shuts? As I say, your personal opinion not fact or info heard.

My personal opinion is Bernie will go late in the day but we have already covered that base, should it happen.

Barca are on the clock, so Paris, with their spending power and also selling Rabiot to those dumb fuckers, might give them an edge.

I'm not ruling out Neymar yet, even if Pep has. Something which could happen very quickly if the wheels started to turn.

All depends on whether or not we actually want him this time. I'm not so sure that we do.

I'm just a cook, not an accountant.

Barca seem to be good at cooking the books, admittedly?

Pep loves a midfielder. Keeps the ball and has a wide range of passing. Could see him slip in a killer ball to Haaland. He would be more of a Gundo replacement for me. Next season big jude comes in and we are set.
