Bernardo Silva

[kaz7]

Too early as plenty of life left in dave still,hopefully he will stay in france until the summer next year then we'll see

He's so good everyone will be in for him, so if there's any chance of landing him we need to get in there this summer. Maybe agree to loan him back to Monaco for a season (assuming he'd be agreeable) whilst we enjoy a last hurrah from Spanish Dave?

Not a bad idea that,dave has 2 and a half years left on his contract then we won't be looking to sell him but just let him go home,a season to wind down whilst his name sake settles in

Everyone is on him. And when I say everyone, I mean it. But if we win the title, and take some bills on most substituable players (Germain, Sidibe, Adama Traore), maybe we won't sell him. He's ok to stay here (The chemistery between everyone probably make a major impact), especially with the world cup incoming, so it will only be a question of money. If we need it, or not.

Bernardo Silva would cost 40m+. You don't loan players you buy for that amount. As has been pointed out...Silva has 2 years left. I think we can fit 1 more AM to rotate with KDB and Silva. And lessen the burden on Silva.

Absolute stand out player last night for them and as you say, we should be balls deep if he is for sale.

Will go somewhere else and be a star playing every week, we're not big or reputable enough yet to be able to stockpile, sadly.

It ain't FIFA, but our rivals will be hot on him which is even more a shame, just have to coax him to Spain somehow.

 

[geoff clipp]

If he's genuinely deemed good enough to take over from David Silva then I'd get him in summer even if it means phasing out David Silva a little more quickly than we normally would. I think assuming he has two good years left in him is risky as it's possible he only has one. Starting the handover next year is probably a sensible measure and how good sides stay successful long term. We've let a lot of a first title winning side to into decline without lining up suitable replacements and we should learn from those mistakes.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

We could easily get him and play 2 of him,silva and KDB every week. All would get enough football.

We are as an attractive as any a destination nowadays, certainly in England. If, as I suspect and hope, the rags miss out on top 4 again, there's no better place to be than City and that's without even mentioning the Pep factor. Only if Real Madrid and Barca get involved in the bidding are we likely to play second fiddle.
