Bernardo Silva

Is there a world where this boy stays and sees out his contract?

Would be the best news of the window

As good as he is, we can't let players of value leave for free, the books and the ffp wankers need to be balanced.

I'd love the lad to stay for the rest of his peak years and then allow him to move to Benfica for free or a nominal fee at 33yo but you can't force people to stay at your club if they desire a different cultural life, I could never blame them, I'd love to have a Spanish villa to retire to, sitting out in the lovely weather, tapas at hand and a good book in the other and music playing in the background.

Sigh, back to work on Monday it is then.

Bernard can sign a contract extension here, stay for 2 more years, go to KSA at 30 for big wages and a fee for City and still be at Benfica for his final years.

Wizard, everyone's a Michael !!

All true but we miss out on cashing in on a£70/80m asset. I understand sentiment but business is business.

His wedding car will be on bricks quicker than you can say “Accrington Stanley ………. Who are they”

I’m sure it’s been mentioned on here already and if so I apologise.

I popped out to the shops last night and on the way I was listening to Talksport where they were discussing the Neves move to Saudi Arabia. One of the commentators said that if Bernie accepts their offer it is rumoured he will make £85m a year. They also said Ngolo Kante will earn more money this season than he has made in his whole career to date !

This is seriously head-turning money and nobody could blame a player for taking it. If the Saudis come up with a decent transfer fee, which has to be in the £70/80m range, we have to accept it. It’s just too good a piece of business to turn down. With all the other player exits that will happen in the coming weeks we could end up with a net profit in the transfer market even if we buy Rice and probably still manage to reduce the wage bill.

The thing is people are guessing, and throwing numbers out that sound more shocking for the shock value. Rumours have ranged form 40m a year to 85. Either way, it is obscene, but could be easily doubled for effect and we'd never know.

Nobody in world football like Bernardo, just no replacement. If he leaves I will miss that tenacious little fucker.

Absolute pleasure watching his dribbling, tight ball control, agility and fooking work rate. Thank you Bernie and I hope you stay…

And the odd vital goal here and there
