Bernardo Silva

Sorry Bernardo but you'll have to tell the missus the bad news.

I'm sure she'll just about get by in her luxury city centre apartment and Bernardo's £200k per week

 

[lol yank]

Simon Mullock is fed up this morning and I for one am here for it.

 

[chaddblue]

As I thought all along... he's going nowhere

 

[BlueTechie]

Really want this to be true.

But I’m afraid I think this is just posturing from City.

I mean we can’t say Barca have blown their chance to sign him and in the same piece mention a price as well (unless the latter was just put in by mullock rather than the club briefing him today)

i don`t think mullock is in with the club as much now mate, it will be interesting to see if Gaughan & Blackburn report something similar though.

So that's that then... our business this summer is done. Fantastic transfer window

They've moved out of there mate.

We will have to wait for Simon Stone's daily bullshit yet!

It definitely reads like our counter-brief to all the noise from Barca, setting out our negotiating position very clearly.

Call it posturing if you like, but a lot of negotiation tactics are about posturing in one form or another to be honest.

You’re right that it shouldn’t be taken at face value to mean he’s staying though.

This is us telling Barca to put in an offer at the required level if they’re genuinely interested in the player - or get to fuck with the constant briefing about how desperate he is to join, and how we’re willing to sell for a bag of Monster Munch and Martin Braithwaite on a season long loan.

 

[PhdWave]

Sounds like we’ve told Barcelona to get fucked.

Does he mean blown or overblown?..Either way this is the club telling stfu and pay if you want him..
