Bernardo Silva

[01cravend]

Did KDB or Silva ever play as "8" before Pep rocked up? Not many times if at all. Im trying to say that B. Silva is not geniune winger like Sterling/Sane. He can play there but he has the skills to play as a 8 definitely.

He also started as full back.

Jorge Jesus wanted him to play left-back but Silva didn't want to and moved on?

Heard Fergie has turned up pissed and is opening his boot as we speak...

 

[MarsLlama]

As good as confirmation.

80m euros apparently. Whopping figure.

So if rumors are true we will be paying around £150 million to monaco for 3 players maybe presuming we want Mendy and Fabhino as well?

One hell of a job fitting in silva, bernardo, gundogan, sane, de buryne, sterling, jesus and sergio. All players who should be starting every week.

To me it signals their confidence. We just released all our fullbacks and our #1 keeper. Signing replacements is not optional, so to kick off the window by rushing through a deal in arguably our strongest position says to me that they know they've got the rest of the targets locked down.

People need to chill out and enjoy the ride. All this "we need to prioritise in x position" is nonsense. Like you've said we have one fullback, we're obviously gonna buy some, as well as additional players.

Think the lad who posted that picture admitted it was a wind-up.

We need a squad, a great team win cups, a great squad wins the league.

Fantastic signing for the long term. The thoughts of both David and Bernado working in concert is mouthwatering to say the least, also gives us continuity of style when DS is injured as well as enabling Pep to rest DS to keep him fresh for the crucial games. The fee looks about right, particularly when you consider Real Madrid have just paid almost €45m for an untried 16 yo. Let's hope this isn't the only one of our signings that will be done early enough for them to join the team for the entirety of preseason so that we can really hit the ground running in August. All we need now is for our front men to make more of the copious opportunities they are going to be presented with.

Brilliant problem to have though. I think Pep wants a squad where he is able to rotate without there being a drop off in quality. And if we pull that off I think we have a brilliant chance to win the CL as our players will not be as burnt out.

Have been told City will announce signing at about 6pm.....

Nice one, cheers mate.

 

[Wolfkin]

HYPE!!!!!

[Colin Bells Boots]

Nice one, cheers mate.

Ric does this signing impact upon Fabhino signing ?

 

[Armaan]

This signing probably means we'll rest David quite a bit next season.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Great to see City getting players in as soon as the transfer windown opens. It's fortunate it's not a world cup or euros year, so hopefully we can get deals done in good time for the new players to join up for the start of pre season, although no doubt one or two deals won't be as straightforward.

 

[City Raider]

50m euros a steal. No doubt will be reported with addons and salary.

 

[Johnny_on]

Cant wait to see Herrera's face when Jose tells him to man mark Silva :-)

If you're wondering what to do to pass the time before he's officially announced, there's some great reading here:

http://www.redcafe.net/threads/bernardo-silva-having-a-medical-at-city.417267/page-31

It starts at page 31, 2 weeks ago when they're at the peak of their "he's ours, fucking get in, world class signing" stage.
