Bernardo Silva

[kun]

Board already replaced him last year, when we signed Jack Grealish for 100m...

Why do you think they signed Grealish ? Because Bernardo was ready to go and last minute - Atletico or Barcelona couldn't get the money due to covid situation..

Last year we had the following attackers -> Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres, Sterling, Foden, Mahrez and Pep had already told us, how he decided to move Jesus to RW position.. In addition to that we were working on Harry Kane's transfer..

So in the end we could have:

CF -> Kane, Torres
RW -> Mahrez, Jesus
LW -> Foden, Sterling

And somehow we buy Jack Grealish for 100m.. It is obvious that Grealish was bought for midfield position and especially to replace ongoing Bernardo... Grealish started his first game as LCM as well..

But then we couldn't sign Kane, which meant that either Sterling or Foden would be used as CF...
Bernardo stayed and Jack was moved to LW position..

So, if we look at these facts, it's clear that Jack was signed as a Bernardo's direct replacement..

Compare Bernardo / Grealish maps here, it was created before the last season.. They look pretty similar to me... Difference is in flanks..

His heat map looks almost exactly like Foden and Sterling - the left-wingers…..

don’t think this will happen but pep is a big admire of verratti

Made of tracing paper, hell of a player though when fit.

Verrati to city will be great. But it's never happening. Romero is on drugs

I think grealish will eventually replace debruyne

Barca cannot register the players they have already signed and if Bernardo was there first choice of all the players they have shown interest in then surely they would have signed Bernardo first.

And they are struggling to pay the players they already have. Barca are a club built on sand, any player going there wouldn't be sure if they would be paid every month. They owe Pique 80 million in unpaid wages don't they?

I honestly don't even think he is good enough to be on our bench

You did well, you managed to show the board you know fuck all and got a like from the resident gobshite. Top work.

Bernardo is their choice only if frenkie moves. Frenkie hasn't been very open to move.

Though I liked the players involved a lot, I wasn't ultimately that upset about our other recent outgoings. However if/when Bernardo goes to that bunch of self-important, arrogant, dodgy as fuck bunch of scutters I think I'm going to be quite upset.

FDG needs to go in the next 6/7 days or Barcelona won’t be able to register there players
