id argue hes more consistent than KDB, certainly more tenacious covering ground. think to the big games like liverpool when hes the stand out player, unbelievable athletic ability on top of his skills.If he wants to go and Barcelona have the money to pay what we want, then let go of him. It will only distract us going into a busy season. Get the replacement in now (if that is Paqueta) and shift him on if the money is right.
Bernardo is a great player, but bigger and better players have left us and we've replaced them. He's no David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne. He doesn't have the David Silva ability to control a game or the David Silva killer pass to split a defence, and his numbers are nowhere near KDB's. He's a Fantastic System player.
Or we could replace Bernardo with Foden in the middle of the park and bring in a fast pacey winger with fantastic ball retention (Nkunku). Then also go for Bellingham next summer to shore up the midfield. Also wouldn't mind seeing Frenkie here if we could do a swap deal plus cash.
We will replace him with Similar quality or better. Mark my words.
Love you too :)I’ve missed you.
He’s just done a full two page spread for ESPN that was conveniently staged around a boot deal/new boots, where the questions inevitably led to is he happy City etc etc etc, which is now being quoted in every news agency, not to mention the mumbling interview he gave in the states, if this was any other player they’d be getting pelters (which I’m not advocating) but because we all love him it’s acceptable, I expect him to ramp things up a little more but not cause any aggro, he looks uncomfortable & is at pains to say he wants to be respectful, which probably means Barca have asked him to rock the boat a little (cunts) to facilitate a lower fee
He won't be going anywhere near any Portuguese team till he is finished as a top class player.He states quite clearly that he wants to be with family and those he loves. It is obvious from that interview that what he actually wants is a move back to Benfica. And that City know and understand this. But Bernardo knows full well that he is way beyond Benfica’s price range so he will stay at City until that move becomes a viable proposition.
End of his contract, or one year left on his contract, he goes back to Lisbon. Everyone is happy. Everyone that matters anyway.
He's wanted to leave for a couple of years now, some point need to let him go. More concerned we have allowed Raz and Jesus to go in the same window. Suddenly we don't look like we have the strength in depth we have become used too
The sale of fdj won't cover the price of bernie and the registration of other players imo there is little chance of bernardo moving in this window.Expect a mountain of shit to come in the coming days, bent media, disgusting comments, Romero on the twerk. I am literally 50-50, he stays or not.
Unfortunately it depends on the FDJ, and registration, and of course the bid, replacement situation.
Very complicated situation.
