Bernardo Silva

The only problem with that is De Jong stating he wouldn’t go to Manchester because of the climate weather.

He didn’t say that though, his dad joked about it.

The kid is from Amsterdam, he isn’t going to be shocked by the north west.

Just a way to try and kill United’s interest.

That's why Bernardo should be replaced during this transfer window.. Maybe that Matheus guy or Paqueta ? Personally I would go for Maddison..

Good player but not good enough for Pep or City i.m.o.

What do you think we need that we don’t have other than a rotation LB? Seriously I can’t see the stress other than full back.. what am I missing?

pace nous and proven prem pedigree .

I would piss myself laughing if they couldn't register them and had to pay them millions to sit on their arse.

they had this last year and still managed....its all complete bullshit....they will register them and they will play.....and they will continue to buy as well....

Dortmund were never selling Bellingham this summer just like they were never selling Haaland last summer when Chelsea offered £100m.

Their business model relies on regular big sales, it doesn't work if you sell everyone in the same summer.

2023 - Bellingham
2022 - Haaland
2021 - Sancho
2020 -
2019 - They got €120m from 8 players
2018 - Pulisic + Aubameyang
2017 - Dembele

I had never noticed this before, but yeah, makes sense I suppose

If and it’s a big if at the moment due to Barcelona’s financial problems. I would take the swap with de jong.He is a tidy player with a wide ranging skill set. Yes we will not be able to replace some of Bernie’s traits and will need to evolve the midfield. No player is irreplaceable.

If I was City, I would grab the bull by the horn and do the swap plus Barca pay us £50m. Get Bellingham next season and we have an awesome set of midfielders.

He wants out so do it on our terms. We can’t fear change.

He won’t want to take a wage cut and his current wages would disrupt our current structure (even if the Bernardo money would subsidise the new expense), so I can’t see it happening.

Not to mention there is no guarantee Barca can even meet any financial obligations for a Bernardo transfer.

What player do you swap considering de Jong is on ridiculous wages as it is and wouldn't want to drop too much salary?

How do you know he won’t take a pay cut?

Quick City. Bid 8 million for Christenson. They'll bite our hand off.
