Captain for next season | Bernardo confirmed (pg11)

[Asa's left peg]

There are lots of players in America for the CWC whose futures are up in the air. Wouldn’t read into his involvement there too much. It’s not definite (like Grealish, or Walker), but highly likely with recent developments, that he leaves. His contract was also renewed by an automatic clause, so not an active decision by the club to prolong his stay. With the direction we’re heading, I think younger, more energetic midfielders will be necessary. He’s been an excellent player for us over the years, but Gundo just doesn’t have the legs for it anymore.

I had read that the optional 1 year extension to Gundys contract could be triggered by either party and it was the club that triggered it.
I must admit that I thought at the time it was so we could ask a transfer fee but that seemed unlikely.
I agree obviously. Someone has to go.

 

[Seth MCFC]

It may have been that, I’m sure I saw somewhere that it was automatically triggered after he played X amount of minutes. My thought process has always been that two out the three (Gundogan, Kovacic, and Gundogan) will have to leave, just to keep the squad at the size Pep likes.

Yup. Pep’s first signing. A solid citizen who never let City down. See Alan Oakes, Gazbaz.

No, Gundo’s extension was triggered by playing a certain amount of games last season.

 

[Roy Munson]

Just because Bernie is in the group doesn’t mean he’s definitely staying either, but I reckon he’s the more likely to stay. Pretty sure Gundo will be off, he’d have definitely been in the group if he was staying as we could have easily named 5, I’d guess the Turkey rumours have more than a grain of truth about them.

Not if he's earmarked for a coaching role.

 

[Coatigan]

It is being reported that Pep did intervene, and selected ‘intelligent players’. Gundo epitomises intelligence in his game. Pep would have picked him, undoubtedly.

That isn't 'being reported' mate. That's just someone saying something on twitter

A twitter account that reports information. One that is actually considered to be reliable. So, it’s not ‘someone saying something on twitter’. It is a genuine report.

 

[Willo the Wisp]

If Bernardo stays he is the man, more of a leader than anyone else - remember the cup of coffee, enough said

Yeah I’m not sure how but that guy has fist team connections. Gets the team selection before everyone and very consistent.

It also makes sense let’s be honest

 

[TheBlueCat]

Does anybody believe what these Twitter people post? I sure as shit don’t.
One of the reasons I deleted my account and have never been back.
Too many self proclaimed itks. Chancers..
Even worse the needy gob shites who like the perceived attention and think everyone believes they have a reputation, who resort to cheep insults and even threats of physical violence. Sad individuals..

There’s a lot of bullshit accounts out there and it’s obvious.

Very few good ones. But there are a handful.

Sure it is mate. Sure it is.

 

[CityBrat64]

Gundo out the door?

Strongly linked with Galatasary

 

[Gordyola]

Happy with that. Haaland stepping up to more of a leadership role might be very good for him

He already stepped up when Walker left

 

[Seth MCFC]

Sure it is mate. Sure it is.

Just go through the guy’s posts - it’s clear that he knows his stuff. Anyway, I’m not in the business of defending some random bloke, so if being a cynic gets you going, knock yourself out.

 

[Gordyola]

Very good in my opinion, no complaints.

That’s how last season ended I don’t think it’s new and they usually have the vote after the transfer window has closed

Ruben Dias, Captain.

Bernie is in and out of games and gets subbed.

Haaland is isolated on his own up front and mopes about during games.

Rodri should just concentrate on his fitness and getting back to the player he is.

Fucking funny he's.selected Haaland as someone who will give it all when he couldn't even step up and take a penalty in the only game that gave us a chance of a trophy this season the shit house.

Any other insights you can give us, given you were in the dressing room and on the pitch for the final?
