Bernardo Silva

[PannickAtTheDisco]

won't be Sanchez then if he comes, won't sign both.

 

[cadds92]

He is a winger, how is he replacing David Silva?

He plays on the wing in the same way Mancini deployed Silva on the wing, he just starts there but drifts inwards.

He could play anywhere along the front line behind a striker.

 

[Afrenchguy]

you think city can get both fabinho and silva ?

€€€€€. ;)

Tho, it looks like you guys really see Pep as the GOAT. ^^
Don't underestimate the power of a World Cup, Vasyliev, Jardim and the friendship group they got.

For the records, when Mbappé had the 40M€ bid on the table, he was close to leave. Jardim met him and told him : "Just give me 2/3 years of your career, Kylian, and you'll see where you will end up".
And here we are.

If something like "let's all stay here one more year and see what we can do", as bernardo said start to gem in their minds, you'll probably have none.

All in all, I don't see why you can't have both.
As long as the player want to leave and the money is on the table. But the signing of Tielemans, is a good signal to the group. Can change things.

But if you count on the "They want to play for Pep" argument, hell no. That's not the kind of argument you want to have with a Monaco player right now. They all put Jardim as a second dad. For Fabinho, City must go on the brazilian selection thing. For Bernardo Silva, nothing to do, except convince Mendes.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

I agree with this.

Levy will delay our pre-season as much as he can.

Nah he will want to spend the money.

Wouldn't read too much into the odds shortening.

Yeah if it was like 2-1 to evens

7/1 into 1/4 is a significant move in any market especially one which is so full reliant on inside info.

Not saying we will sign him but that's is a noticable move In a niche market

Is it Skybet by any chance?

Not sure what the bookmakers are,
Only going on what I read on here

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

I watched this guy a lot during season and he is without a doubt a WC player. A perfect heir for the real Silva + much faster and also can score. If I have the chance to choose him or Fabinho I will take him all day long. But In my opinion the bets thing is just because what Mourinho said about him not joing the rags. I dont think we are in for this guy.

Don't you usually hear some stuff Ric? ;)

 

[Dax777]

Think the whole board would wank itself in to a cardiac arrest if we got both.

Unless you think about it for a second and realize it won't work

Silva Debryune Gundy Bernado
Fabihno, Dihno, Yaya. 7 for 3 positions. Clearly problematic.

Only when he needs more hits on the site ;-)

In reality though only Silva KDB Gundogan Bernardo Fabinho would be rotated. Dinho and Yaya would just be covers for injury purposes IMO.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I have it on KFA authority that we're not signing Bernardo Silva. More chance of him going to the rags. He wouldn't be a priority for us, so will most likely go elsewhere.

 

[twosips]

Please don't kill me if this is wrong....but I've just heard he may be in Manchester. Heh. Not meaning to get anyone's hopes up there, just repeating what I've heard.

Haha. Mate that's going to cause absolute carnage all day! On a Friday too! :)

The scenes if everyone gets excited, this thread gets to 100 pages, flights from Monaco are traced back, he's seen near the airport, there's videos and cat gifs posted.... and he's announced as a United signing at 5pm.

Ha yeah. I know people know that I''ve got mates that work for City but I want to stress that this 100% hasn't come from then, a totally external source so it's nowt to do with that!

Well i'll double down. Graham Hunter told me last week that City's interest in Silva is "very real and very live".

And someone on Twitter has just told me that the odds on him joining City took a HUGE nosedive yesterday. This has got all the hallmarks of a wasted Friday on the internet followed by the disappointing revelation it was in fact Bernard Sumner and not Bernardo Silva who's in town! :)
