Bernardo Silva

de Jong is still at Barcelona digging his heels there. Chelsea could bid for him but they too have a limit in what they could spend during this transfer window.

If he lasts out this transfer window we owe it to the lad to make him our Gundo replacement

Hopefully it's €100m if we are planning on sell him which is not ideal. Some figure that were floated around were around €75m which is Cucurella money. Hopefully we don't bend and accept low figure. He is Bernardo silva and not Ferran Torres or Eric Garcia

We'll have to stick to our guns on this and do what Tony Bloom did with Cucurella it's not hard is it

If he reduces his salary then why not.

Hard when the guy making decisions is a Barcelona fan and his best friend is calling with the offer. Dunno how people can trust Txiki after the whole super league and 'legacy fans' debacle.

People would rather blow smoke up the guys arse and call him a genius because he paid a release clause for Haaland who's a fucking childhood City fan and was desperate to come anyway.

There are a lot of factors at play here. But it has to be well over £100m.

Barca coming in so late is one of them, I presume that they are trying to offload F D Jong and maybe others and if they can they will try and do this deal. But we dont want to be doing deals late in the window so the Fee has to go up to compensate.

But we are also not in the business of pissing off players. That is basically what Pep said he always wants a good outcome for the players. So if Bernado wants the move and Barca come in with a suitable offer the deal will get done.

Can Barca pay up? I would imagine Barca will struggle to get to the number we need. And we will want it mostly up front as they are in a mess. I think this is the biggest driver in this not getting done. Even if they make a number of sales they will still struggle to make it work.

You know were a soft touch when it comes to Barca

£150,000 p/w I know wonder he want to go, when you see what some of the others are on, he should be on at least £100,000 more

There’s no way that City would let him leave if it’s just about money - De Bruyne, Silva and Aguero have all stayed and signed new contracts and been happy with the money. I don’t think we can criticise the club at all in this regard.

He could probably have signed a new contract and earned a big pay rise at any point over the past couple of seasons. But he won’t sign a new contract as he’d prefer to leave.

If we get an acceptable bid for him this month he’ll most likely be off.

Well done for showing up your lack of knowledge on the club.

You think our director of football decided to join the Super League???

Fuck me that was Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon and Ferran. And they supposedly kept it secret from the rest of the club.
Pep didn't know, why the fuck would our transfer guy know?

Another FOC who hates the fact Txiki has turned us into a superclub. Remember he got Pep. He got Haaland. He got de Bruyne. He got Dias. He got Mahrez, Gundo, Bernardo, Rodri, Walker, Ederson etc.

Please don’t sell him now, I’m not ready :(

too late to get Bellingham in now I'd think. Maybe he goes in the winter or summer but can't see him going now.
