Postman Pep said:
Broadly speaking yes but the source (s) of his unhappiness are not 'precise and 'clear'. Maybe it's more than just a lifestyle choice and is partly driven by personal ambition as a player?
Maybe he wants be the 18/19 Bernardo again when he scored and assisted for fun and was central to both us and Portugal not the first player replaced when things aren't going to plan? It's possible he feels he needs a new challenge to achieve that.
I have no idea I'm just speculating much like the poster who said he wants to settle down and have kids in sunnier climes. The full picture is not common knowledge that's the point.

I'm absolutely certain it's about personal ambition and not lifestyle. The whole lifestyle claim is a bit of a farce. Sure he prefers ( insert whatever sunnier enclave here). But what he truly wants is to be a key player. First name on the team sheet.

He wants the kind of respect currently afforded to Kev, Phil and Jack. Funny enough, he's been every bit as good as Jack or better, but I bet you when when Phil or Kev gets healthy it's Berny who's most likely to get yanked.


And that's why he wants to leave. Can't blame him. Can't blame us. It just panned outt that way. :(

I don't believe that. I don't think there'd be any reason to put out the whole personal stuff if it wasn't true. It'd be a real shithouse thing for the club to get out there if false.

Considering there were reports that Laporte and Jesus wanted to leave and there were no reports about personal stuff with either of them, I don't see why Bernardo would get different treatment.

Nah. Bernardo played more minutes than anyone bar Ederson and Foden in the Champions League last season, and only Rodri of our midfielders got more minutes in the league. You can't really expect to play much more than that in a squad as stacked as City's
 
Bernardo Silva is a blue, he hates dippers.

Fair enough. I suppose you are probably right. But it strikes me as a Stated vs Real reason scenario. Yes his bird prefers Madrid or Paris, and he'll find those places more palatable.

But deep down I think if he had Kev's position at the club or even Phil's, this won't be an issue.

I think he is a nice guy and was looking for a soft out whereas Laporte and Gabby are less so. Also unlike them, he was getting good playing time.

Gabby and Laporte had legitimate, 'i don't want to be a bench warmer" claims while Berny didn't. As minutes wise he got as much as anyone. But it's the type of minutes and the role that was probably key to his displeasure. Berny accumulates minutes because he doesn't get injured, and he can play every position in the front 6. But this should not be confused for getting the key minutes in key games playing a key role

His is a subtler point and it's hard to make it without seeming ungrateful. And we know he isn't that type of guy. So he can't just throw that kinds tantrum.

Neeways, all conjecture on my part. It's how I felt about how he was used the last couple years. So it won't surprise me if he felt the same.

I disagree with some of your points, but I appreciate you putting your opinion out there Dax.

I agree,as ive stated.

The homesickness is probably real but the fact he is the go to fallguy where Pep is concerned cannot be helping his thinking.Its very obvious he responds much better when he feels the love.

How many appearances last season?
 
Let's show Bernardo our appreciation for him as much as we can at the games.
He's an incredibly popular person, to have around.

(Perhaps he could have got his move if Spanish club's have not had their finances so badly effected by Covid?)

Whatever is making him unsettled, it won't do any harm giving him an extra 'feel good boost' by showing him how much he is still loved by us fans!

Bernardo Silva - Detailed stats

This is the performance data of Bernardo Silva of Manchester City. It shows the data (goals, bookings, etc.) at {vereinsZuweisung} in the 20/21 season.
www.transfermarkt.co.uk www.transfermarkt.co.uk

He played almost 3,200 minutes last season. His time on the bench seemed a little more frequent towards the end of the season as we had so many players competing for places?
