Bernardo Silva

[Jesus H Gabz]

I can see Bernie having a great month given he tends to turn up against the bigger sides, where his skill set is more in demand, personally I’d play him off the right & Phil on the left, and start going after teams a bit more. Longer term if he can up his performances & help us retain our title or a CL win, then I’ll drive him to the airport myself, Pep & the club have a policy of not keeping unhappy players & as fans we’re probably the same (just move them on) be a shame if it ended on a sour note

Why is he our only player who feels the need to vocalise his desire to fuck off several times a year then? And why were fans so immeasurably furious when Raheem Sterling vocalised a desire to leave (justified by his situation at the club, whereas Bernardo's is not), and angry when Sané decided to leave, but totally fine with Silva doing it?

It's plain weird.

Most fans weren't furious at Raz at him wanting to leave but because it got to a point where he couldn't hit a barn door, they actually wanted him gone. Bernado has had a proper kicking in this thread being called a **** numerous times and told to "Fuck off".

The fault here is with the old time thoughts of the fans, they are thinking of players as if they are local lads who are playing for the badge and the team and the fans, they most certainly are not in most instances, and it looks very much like in most cases they couldn't give a fuck.

Unrequited love I believe they call it.

Bernardo may not be in the best form this season, but it will be a sad day when he leaves City which I suspect will be in the Summer. The little man has never let us down and he will be very difficult to replace. Those calling him out have got out very short memories.

Sell him. Move Foden to the 8 position where I think he would be brilliant and sign a fast left winger.

I think it’s an age thing.

The older (and more cynical) you get, the more the realisation football is just a job to most players becomes apparent, and you realise all this shit about them having to be in love with the Club in the same way fans are is a simplistic, childish fantasy.

A player from Portugal, who grew up supporting Benfica, is rarely going to arrive at a foreign club and decide he’s found his Club for life.

He’s given us some of his best years, and wants another challenge before retiring at Benfica.

He’s not been needlessly disrespectful in expressing this, like Yaya or Tevez were - and he’s not a City fan, like us lot.

He’s an employee - and employees change jobs.

There’s no point getting worked up about it and turning on the player - we’re not Liverpool fans, and our Club isn’t sone fucking cult you can never leave.

We’re better than that!

Couldn't agree more. I completely get why some people are pissed off about his quotes from yesterday, even if I don't care at all, but all those taking shots at his missus and lying to themselves about his qualities as a player are just coming across as a bit pathetic.

 

[philjoneswho?]

Same as when Sane left, most would love to keep him but sadly he'd prefer to leave. I admire his honesty he's a class act (footballer and person). He's respectful to City and loves the club. I won't begrudge him going wish I him luck and we will continue winning trophies because we are City!

 

[bluemoon32]

The fact he wants to leave & we wont keep an unhappy player, will mean we get rinsed by the fee we get.
Probably end up around the 60m mark.
I will always love the guy, brilliant signing for us

 

[leo_city]

I feel the calling out is justified to an extent, obviously every player wants to have a plan and path of their own, making sure they get what they want in their career. But Bernardo would know how good this team is for him. I firmly believe any top midfielder signing solely hinges on his contract situation.

 

[sir baconface]

He and his missus complain about the cold. Do they not realise that the government’s energy price guarantee and energy bill support scheme will continue runing until April?

Ungrateful bastards.
