Bernardo Silva

[Sir Joe Aguero]

They’ve been stung with a 35mil tax bill for pulling some stupid accounting trick that’s backfired. Genuinely more concerned about getting the Torres money than Bernardo leaving.

Seriously though Neymar would be a monstrous addition to this team on the wing. He would be both another target for our new system of "pack all the playmakers into the middle and ping balls behind for Haaland" and a supplier.

Neymar - Haaland - Foden

Gundo/Grealish - Rodri - KDB

Would be potentially the scariest midfield and attack assembled since Xavi-Busquets-Iniesta, Neymar-Suarez-Messi


It would also be hilarious seeing a sizeable part of the fanbase having to do a 180 and start liking him, and seeing him generally dispel some of the nonsense people come up with about him.

That's an outrageous team!

Neymar - Haaland - Foden.

Is a ridiculous front three. Teams would be terrified to attack us. Due to those 3

 

[Bluearmy]

Agree with you totally but we seem to be happy to let players go who want to leave and to whatever club they want to go to.
Sane and Eric Garcia are 2 examples of young players who wanted to go to specific clubs in their own country.
Bernardo appears to want to go to Barcelona and going by comments on this thread, it looks like we may accommodate him at a ridiculously low selling price.
I just don't understand it?

Exactly. At least leverage the sale of Bernardo in the deal so we could get de jong, and Barca could solve the wages dispute. an opportunity missed?

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Bernardo is ten times the player Grealish is, let's stop kidding ourselves. I'll support him whenever he pulls on the shirt, but it was as unecessary and egotistical a signing for us as Ronaldo was for them lot. He's nowhere near intelligent enough to offer what someone like Bernardo has.

pep disagrees with you unfortunately

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Rather take FDJ & Paqueta this window than Neymar tbh

 

[leo_city]

Are we in la la land thinking we're getting Neymar?

 

[Kamaro011]

pep disagrees with you unfortunately

And eventually he will be proven right again in most cases leaving armchair manager in here look like fools.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

There's no chance Neymar joins City

 

[hgblue]

Would definitely think Grealish would step back to the 8 role if Bernardo left. If we were genuinely after Paqueta as a replacement, I think he'd be good on the LW in our team (I know he's an AM/CM, but he's very good at beating people & retaining possession).

Phil Foden in the 8 role if Bernardo leaves, he has the workrate, technical ability and passing range to be a real star in that role.

 

[Legal Alien]

Sick to the stomach… 55 million.

Because the fee is so low I wonder if Gavi or another player is part of the deal?

 

[buckshot]

Am I missing something here or does the fact that this isn't on the front page of Sky Sports mean this might not be a thing? ESPN isn't mentioning it either and both of those outlets love to report on turmoil at City.

been said a hundred times before pep will not play Foden in midfield when KDB is here

Romero is a Barcelona mouthpiece and I think he just chats shit on a livestream. Any organisation that thinks it's at all reputable won't take it seriously when the bigger story is they face starting the season without any of their new signings being registered.

Neymar waiting by the phone.

He is asking about City.

From that point of view it might be realistic if he goes to the wing and then Foden would go to the middle or even Grealish.-

I would like to see Foden dropping back into midfield. But that team would cause some damage.

 

[01282]

It’s the old Grealish factor here that’ll make any deal unpalatable. We’ll be lucky if we get £70m for him and that’s even more absurd when you consider we paid £30m more for Grealish. Bernardo twice the player in every area but doesn’t get the same level of media coverage.

 

[akrh215]

Bernardo out, one of our front either Foden or Grealish will be moved permanently into midfield and Neymar is in as replaced forward.

Is this a guess or do you know something?

 

[Kamaro011]

He need to learn la pausa thing, which he isn't have that yet for now. Need to mature his play and learn to dictate tempo before given the most demanding role in pep team in midfield.
