If Bernardo wants out… he’s welcome to go but any club needs to match the fee the club place on him and reasonably for one of Europe’s most consistent, technically gifted and industrious midfielders; whose a proven top end performer for City and for Portugal - he’s got to be a £100m player. To replace him like for like is difficult but for any decent midfielder we are gonna get quoted £80m and those players won’t be proven quality like Bernardo they’ll be players with potential. On a separate note I’d up the fee for Barca. They have been wholly disrespectful and snide in their dealings - and in contrast to how we stood up to Brighton we appear to tolerate whatever bollocks Barca (and their club affiliated media) throw our way - we should not lose sight that Barca are a key player in the anti City agenda - clearly illustrated by the stories of one of their officials trying to bribe a UEFA official to ensure City were unjustly punished. As I’ve said previously I think the club should give a handsome donation to the charity in Barcelona next week but I would not be playing a match against that lot, the season has started and we owe that lot nothing but contempt. As for Bernardo I wish him well, thank him for the memories, he’s been amazing but I seriously question his judgement joining that bunch of self righteous, arrogant charlatans. I’m sure City will get circa £80m for Bernardo but I think that is selling us short and we will probably end up paying more than that for an inferior replacement.
