Bernardo Silva

[Dribble]

It must be crushing for Bernardo to see lesser players getting moves for more than we're asking for him, & he's still here two years after asking to leave, with no club willing to match our reasonable valuation... Baffling! ‍

I wonder if there is some sort of unofficial boycott on buying our players… from the “top”clubs … you know the ones .

I agree. The only take I would add, he’s a creative midfielder who doesn’t particularly score/assist mega numbers. His work rate is exceptional, ball retention the same and he’s just all round a world class player! But maybe he is most suited to a Guardiola side and the opta stats don’t stack up for others looking at him? (I don’t know if thats true or not, I’m just suggesting it might be true). He’s a player so suited to our style and I’ll be truly gutted if he leaves, but do the same attributes play as well in any other team?

We had ex players last season that we sold to Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Villa, Chelsea and several more in the Premier league and have sold players to Barcelona and Munich in the last couple of seasons.
I think there were 13 premier league clubs who had players we sold directly or indirectly ( Douglas Luiz, Jack Harrison etc)

I’m happy and able to cope with the rejections for Bernie. Hopefully get an extension signed and another couple or more titles.

Plus he has a very good character and rarely injured, work rate phenomenal. It's a bit baffling.

We generally keep players very happy. So it's difficult for anyone to seduce our players with promises of greener pastures.

Barca seem to be able to do it but they can't afford it very often anymore.

Really sad to see him go. One of my all-time favourite City players and one of the best midfielders in the world. Just so, so technically gifted and insane work rate off the ball. Truly one of a kind

Agreed.
And yet the moment I’ll remember him for with most affection wasn’t even during a match itself.

Never to be beaten, that mate.

One small cup of coffee for Bernardo.

Piss boiling at its finest.

I’ve wondered this myself. Then on the odd occasion we do get an offer, it’s usually always well under true market value.

I think when he retires and see what he’s achieved with city he won’t b too disappointed. More disappointed if he had left and realised what could have been. Hope he stays, he’s brillian.

100m for Grealish.

Potentially 100m for Rice.

Bernardo Silva.......can we have him for a bag of fuck all, please?

 

[jonah62]

He should be telling his woman, he puts the food on the table and if she’s not happy in North West England, to do one!!

He should rent her a council flat in Lisboa and start going to Kyle Walker‘s party’s and taking John for It’s daily dump on sir Matt busby way

I’m sure it’s been mentioned on here already and if so I apologise.

I popped out to the shops last night and on the way I was listening to Talksport where they were discussing the Neves move to Saudi Arabia. One of the commentators said that if Bernie accepts their offer it is rumoured he will make £85m a year. They also said Ngolo Kante will earn more money this season than he has made in his whole career to date !

This is seriously head-turning money and nobody could blame a player for taking it. If the Saudis come up with a decent transfer fee, which has to be in the £70/80m range, we have to accept it. It’s just too good a piece of business to turn down. With all the other player exits that will happen in the coming weeks we could end up with a net profit in the transfer market even if we buy Rice and probably still manage to reduce the wage bill.
