Bernardo Silva

Stones goes back into defence and Kovacic comes in alongside Rodri. Swap foden for grealish and that’s a team I can go with.

I hate to tell you this but we are not going to 3 defenders.

If you want Foden on the wing it’s Alvarez not getting minutes, not Grealish.

I cam see Silva going for less than Rice which would be an absolute crime.

Come on Rice is the second best midfielder in the world behind Mason Mount…. Keep up.

Don’t worry about it, I probably wasn’t clear enough.

We’ve been playing x3 central defenders most of the last season.

So, foden on the left in the place where Grealish has been (I said they swapped).
Then, it’s alverez Haaland and foden up front. Behind them is grealish, bernardo Kovacic and Rodri (Until kdb gets fit). Stones Dias and Gvardiol at the back.
once kdb is fit - we revert to x4 central defenders and drop Kovacic.

I must admit I do find it odd that we all know he wants to go somewhere warmer and has done for the last few years. He's also been one of our best players... and yet no one is coming in for him!

Is it wages? Is he unlucky that all other midfielders in Spain etc are better than him? Is it they don't rate him as highly as we do? There's something that's stopping some of the big teams coming in for him but I can't figure it out.

If he wants to go, I'd rather he went before his contract expires. I find it amazing that the likes of Barce/Real/PSG etc aren't offering players in a swap deal etc.

I don't think Berni wants a move

It's his girlfriend that wants him to move

That maybe the case, but for the last 2(?) seasons we've heard a lot about how he wants to live somewhere else. I think if that was my girlfriend and I was happy in Manchester then I'd be telling her to keep quiet, or put out stories about how much I loved living here.

he is not a midfielder, his best position has always been on the wings.

He can do both to a very high standard which is what makes him so unique.

Bernardo is excellent in possession. I’m not sure many teams would find the value in him that pep does. He’s not a de Bruyne that can move the ball up the pitch in 7 steps. Just sitting here pondering, I wonder how many teams out ther would drop £50~60 million for him. I feel like he’s more valuable to us than almost anyone else, except maybe Barca. And they can’t afford him.
