Straight Swap for Dembele would be interesting, given Barca's near zero funds to buy Bernando outright.
Bernie’s going nowhere, Pep loves him. Guys with his technical ability who work as hard as he does and give an incredibly consistent level of performance game after game are extremely rare.
Perhaps, but the obvious question is why would he want to leave ?Youre seeing that from a manager and fan perspective,and not the individual himself.

I think he normally plays in his best position doesn’t he ? I could be wrong but he strikes me as the kind of level headed dude who understands how the squad system works and doesn’t throw unnecessary tantrums.Being played in a role that doesnt suit him,occasionally being the fall guy to shoehorn others in,unhappy with the manager.....i don't know,just looking at it from another angle.
Often no smoke without fire,unfortunately.
Everything has pointed to wanting to leave for personal reasons. He just fancies a change, hes been in Manchester a good few years now fancies something else.I think he normally plays in his best position doesn’t he ?

Disagree with your last point, lazy journos steal a living out of creating smoke where there’s not even a flicker of a flame.
