Bernardo Silva

[Sibierskii]

The beginning of the end

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Yes, if Bernie wanted the move and Neymar did.

Bernie is my favourite player but if he still has his heart on leaving, then why the hell not, if it included no fee?

We would still need a replacement for Bernie, but Neymar would be more filling the Sterling side.

I'm not one of those totally against Neymar joining but I'd prefer straight cash, considering we'd need to sign at least one replacement.

Yep, we would absolutely need to sign another on top of Neymar.

The only issue signing someone like him would be he has a World Cup coming up for Brazil and he won't want to be breaking sweat and risking any type of serious injury.

It's highly unlikely all this, just surprised Bernie hasn't reconsidered his position at the club :(

From what I've heard his performance wasn't great last night. Are we seeing a repeat of last year with him coming back unhappy and his performance level dropping before then picking it up as the season starts.

My worry being there is only so many times he can want a move away and not get it and then us expect him to just get on with it.

He was fine last night, couple of sloppy passes but was pretty much a player in pre-season.

Have we offered him a new/better deal?

 

[Del_Bosque]

Hopefully even if someone does come in we take the Ake approach

Won’t sell for less than a high price and until we have a direct replacement lined up.

rather than the Zinchenko approach of letting him go then trying to negotiate.

Be devastated to lose him though and think it would throw our season into turmoil no matter who we got in.

Have we offered him a new/better deal?

There were some reports early in the season about a new deal and salary a little more than sterling or so. But Seems he wasn't interested.

Unlike many i don't think Bernardo is irreplaceable. If he wants to go next season he can go provided offer is right and we have signed a replacement.

Obviously he can't go this season as we aren't prepared for his transfer/replacement

Pep is no fool, he would not take him if he didn't think he would pull his tripe out, otherwise he doesn't play.

I'm only looking at it through the prism of how Soriano might look at it.

I understand what your saying but don't you think a cash deal would be far more beneficial?

We need a wide player and a quality one in my opinion, no way is Pep going to play Palmer as much as people are saying, and if Grealish does not kick on we are seriously short after losing Sterling and Jesus.

If Bernardo does go, we must replace him and that will take serious cash, he to me is our best and most influential player, and yes better than KDB for me.

This is the last window of bonanza agent fees so Mendes will push hard to get Bernardo a move.
