You havent read the last few pages then ?

Barca want ALL our players

Barc clown club will struggle as they are out of Europe. They are in no position to sign anyone. Leave our players who have big contracts. Barca cant afford Alvarez

It makes no sense to leave City because you are behind Haaland, just to go to be behind Lewandoski in Barcelona.

I doubt there's any substance to this.

Would him wanting regular first team football surprise anybody? He is more than capable of playing for a top Champs league club and be the main man.

At his age and with his appetite I wouldn't be shocked if there is substance here.

Don't they just exist to rattle other teams for the benefit of Spanish clubs?

Next summer, why would it not make sense to position yourself as a 35 year old’s understudy instead of a 23 year old’s? When will he overtake Haaland in the pecking order here? The answer is never. Literally never. When will he overtake Lewandowski? When age does it’s thing.

He’ll never be first choice striker whilst Haaland is here, we are unlikely to play regularly with 2 up top whilst Pep is here, and no guarantee to play 2 up top after he leaves either, and we’re in the market for a winger in the summer which reduces the chances of him playing there too. So what gives? I hope he extends, but I don’t for the life of me see how he plays regularly for us any time soon, barring a serious Haaland injury.

Because he doesn't want to go be anyone's understudy. If you are leaving a great team like City, you better go to start somewhere, not to be a backup on a lesser team. Specially considering the lack of true great strikers in current football. Off the top of my head: Chelsea, United, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Bayern. All big clubs where he would instantly become a starter.

Its about time our bosses put a stop to Barca unsettling our players, first Bernie then Ilky, now Jules. It must play on their minds, we should tell them to cut it out or else

Needs a run now, absolutely no point starting him at Bournemouth and not playing him in our next two games which could quite easily happen knowing Pep. Still raw around the edges but highly promising this lad
