I agree 100% but I think he is beginning to see he could and would be a lot more special if not more consistent in another team and if he wants away- removing that between his ears might help him even more even though it hurts us in the meantime having go fill his void.Every player is replaceable but he really is special.
I think if we sell them Bernardo, we're getting Neymar.Surely PSG couldn't afford Bernie's fee plus wages wiithout sacrificing someone?
This saga doesn't seem to be going away, so i'm hoping if he does leave this summer, we bring in someone like Neymar or Felix as a replacement.
You're talking absolute bollocks mate. It's the principle. You can't just give in to a club who are trying to tap up our player and give him to them for a ridiculously cheap price.I see several people still act as if City are taking money out of their pocket when it comes to transfers. I am not arsed if he goes for 10m or 100M. What difference does it make?
The club could sign any replacement regardless of fee and will do so if they think its necessary.
Maybe I just have blind faith in Pep and the others.
That's way too low. The number is fine, but the currency is wrong.
It is about opinions, yes. I think he CAN be special and goes through spells when he IS special, but he does drop off those levels after a few weeks. He arguably put in the best full season of any player in our history in 2018/19, but I don't think he's hit those heights since that time with the exception of a few short spells in 20/21 and 21/22. I do agree with some earlier comments about him appearing to be more effective when De Bruyne doesn't play.Disagree with your assessment of Bernardo. Every player is replaceable but he really is special. There are those who see it and those who don't so I don't think there's much point of getting into the ins and outs of it.
Losing a player who wants to leave is just a part of football and I already thought he'd be off this summer but now the season has started and I'm not fully convinced we can get an adequate replacement in time.
It’s sunny apparently maybe he could play in Egypt.
Actually it’s really hot in Manchester today so you never know!
The figure being bandied about is €80m, which is £67.5m.Bernie is worth £100m+ but we won't get that for him.
That would be an absolute pisstake.The figure being bandied about is €80m, which is £67.5m.
The issue is Dortmund. They're not an easy club to bargain with. They're going to be asking for 100m+ minimum.Barca deal
Gavi & £30m
Sign Bellingham £70m
PSG deal
£80m + adds
Sign Bellingham £70m
