Long term which is what PSG are thinking he’s a brilliant investment, we used to do that

All due respect but if Neves was the real deal he would not be going to PSG, the same also applies to Olmo, for 40/60m he would have a que of clubs to choice from and it ain't happing.

We don't need free transfers, we've plenty of cash. We've another 4 weeks till the window slams shut, absolutely no reason to panic. Maybe the players we want are still on holiday?

If we went with what we have without losing anybody I'd be happy. Savio will be a great addition, Kovacic imo will improve, we look to have a fired up Grealish and Oscar Bobb will play more.

Either way we'll be absolutely fine.

Think Nunes will also improve, a lot of our signings are a different beast in their 2nd season

We might be ok if we might struggle next season but no one knows atm but surely we need to be looking at bring young hungry players in to follow in the footsteps of our greats and not standing still which looks like happening atm . Gonna be a diff season that’s for sure
 
Have we heard anything at all about Bernardo leaving or staying? A couple months ago we all thought he was a goner but nobody ever seems to actually want to spend any money on him.

No money in the market and with his age, transfer and wages he is very expensive.

Great news for us.

If he ever returns after his exertions from last season and his starring role in the Euros, must be shattered

Not sure of the need to say that. Do you think he wanted the situation where he wasn’t playing much for us or at all in the euros? Completely unnecessary comment, especially given him working hard and going out on a limb to join us

If we were to judge players at City in their first season under Pep then we wouldn't have a team, It takes a year or maybe even two for a player to adapt to Peps style of play and what he wants from the player.

Nunes isn't a bad player, He showed glimpses last season of what he's capable of doing for us, Hopefully the lad can get a run of games under his belt and kick start his City career.

Personally I don't feel the need why you have to stick the boot into him, He's played bit part games during the course of a season he's done nothing to warrant the hatred he gets. It's bizarre.

I'm not putting the boot in, I just think that he should be coming back a bit earlier than the rest of the Euro players bar our Croatian duo with a point to prove
 
At the start of the window, this thread focused on Nunes for a day or two, when all his career stats and background info was poured over. The general consensus was he is an exceptionally decent guy who is very popular with all his team mates. However, how we came to hand over £50 odd million to WWFC for his services was inexplicable. It looked like Tikki panicked because of limited time before the window closed. Also, it may have been influenced by recency/confirmation bias of the Diogo Jota transfer, ie his judgement was impaired by Jota's impact for the dips. If Nunes steps up this year, nails down a regular place and becomes a key player it will be remarkable. Good luck to him.

How do you know he hasn’t offered to? For all we know Pep and the club could have told him to take the full time off (as he is entitled to and is mandatory)

isnt it the rules now that players have to have a set time off after a tournament?

Yes yes 3 or 4 weeks set by the players union (can find confirmation if its actually compulsory though) stories are we've told the seniors to be back the monday after the CS

Football isn't like it was years ago, Players now are advised as in what minutes they should be playing, The distance they run ect All the Sports Scientist stuff they have these days.

I'm sure the same applies for time off for players and when they are due back to report for training.

The other thing is, Who says he has a point to prove? For all we know Pep could be happy with him and the progress he's making in trying to make his way into the team more regularly.

It's people on Bluemoon who are saying he has a point to prove, Nobody from the club has said any different regarding Nunes.

I just think the criticism he gets is uncalled for massively, I'd understand if he was here for 3 or 4 years and things haven't panned out. He's literally only in the door, He needs time.
