Totally agree with this, excellent opportunity to freshen up that midfield. could probably do with a left back also. To be honest, I'm shocked we're not all over the Declan Rice situation.

Two TOP LEVEL players... In the most vital role in a Pep-system... It's impossible in the current market. Kimmich could be one, but there just isn't realism there.I think we need to be realistic and expect Bernado to leave. I’d love him to stay but if he wants to go and we get an offer which teams would be stupid not to bid let him go.
Gundo is great, whether he stays or not we need another midfielder because we can’t rely on him and KBD as well as Rodri playing all his minutes because of Phillips. If he goes we certainly need two players.
I know they are class. I’d be happy for Gundo to stay and sign someone that could need a year to develop. But with Bernado gone that’s a big player to replace. But it happens. We’ve replaced Kompany, Silva, Yaya, Aguero etc. in recent yearsTwo TOP LEVEL players... In the most vital role in a Pep-system... It's impossible in the current market.

the only able player that is suited for the quality we will lack with Bernardo is no one. But Kimmich is the level of quailty. There is no player like Bernardo. :(I know they are class.

There is no one like any of our players really, but the closest player I have seen to Bernardo's skills and qualities and versatility we already have, Foden for me is the best replacement. Gundogan and KDB are the ones we would need to buy replacements for.the only able player that is suited for the quality we will lack with Bernardo is no one. But Kimmich is the level of quailty.

Moving Phil down means we gotta replace him with a top level winger/attacker, ontop of the attacker we alrealy lack. My shout is Kulusevski for that part.There is no one like any of our players really, but the closest player I have seen to Bernardo's skills and qualities and versatility we already have, Foden for me is the best replacement.

Yes, it would no idea who though, nor even if that's what we are planning. Just my opinion Foden has many of Bernardo's attributes.Moving Phil down means we gotta replace him with a top level winger/attacker, ontop of the attacker we alrealy lack. My shout is Kulusevski for that part.
Cancelo swap please. ;) i'd never pay the 100m but if city can get a better deal id pounce.

His versatility is a big plus, could play any number of attacking roles for us but cant see us going in for him.

I'd love Felix here,he'd fit like a glove.....but i suspect that ship sailed with the success of Alvarez.
Might be a unpopular opinion but I do think Messi would be incredible in this City team, he's got 20 goals and 20 assists this season in a setup that doesn't work well, imagine what he could do with the manager that he had his best season under.
Become more of a provider as well so if Kev doesn't create, Messi can.

Messi doesn't do that MAIN thing this City team does as a collective: Run and press together. Pass.Might be a unpopular opinion but I do think Messi would be incredible in this City team, he's got 20 goals and 20 assists this season in a setup that doesn't work well, imagine what he could do with the manager that he had his best season under.

Felix can play all over the front 4. We are lacking depth there. Good option, although costs alot. Go for Kulu instead.I'd love Felix here,he'd fit like a glove.....but i suspect that ship sailed with the success of Alvarez.

It would complete Messi's football education - rocking up at Kenilworth Road. and taking the bus down the snake pass to Sheffield. But the final ignominy would be going into a game knowing he was going to loose - Spurs away.Might be a unpopular opinion but I do think Messi would be incredible in this City team, he's got 20 goals and 20 assists this season in a setup that doesn't work well, imagine what he could do with the manager that he had his best season under.

I just see it as unnecessary stockpiling when we already have others who can play across the front 4.
We have to be mindful of progress while maintaining a harmony.
Look at who he has just left,if you want proof.

Hence i'd prefer Kulusevski. A lot more quality for a lot less money.I just see it as unnecessary stockpiling when we already have others who can play across the front 4.

There is nothing stopping him from playing for barca for a “normal” wage. They will sign players this summer so they could sign Messi.I think for the first time in Messi's career he's stuck, he wants Barca but Tebas won't let it go through. He has an offer from Saudi Arabia but his wife doesn't want to move there according to Argentine journalists, his agent wants him to go there but his family don't want to move there.
Where does he go. I dont see him at Chelsea or united. He's still too good for the MLS.
Only he continues to demand top whack that few can afford and less will pay. Hes been the top earner almost his whole career, is he so insecure that he still needs to be.
Nothing wrong with it against others but hes an exception for me. The game has given him wealth beyond measure. He doesnt need more.
Take a normal wage at barca for 1/2 years. End your career there. Cement your legacy and take the PR win and you’re set for life.
Go to saudi or something like that and he fizzles out in irrelevance.
