Bernardo Silva

Worrisome this rumour if there is any truth, but probably a further unsettling effort given the potential semi final against Barca
 
I think he’d actually be yet another bad buy for them anyway. That’s not a criticism of Bernado just that with Messi still set to be their main man next season their team is crying out for some pace.

Total hypothetical.

Straight swap b.silva for messi. Would you?



I genuinely hand on heart can't say i think i would. On paper, should be a no-brainer. Yet, it is not.

Edit: for clarity, purely a philosophical question, as to how ww personally value. b.silva.

It would need to be Bernardo on a 2 month loan in exchange for Messi on a permanent transfer plus 150mill.

I'm not sure id even do that.

Very short memories on here (not aimed at you)

So we’re talking about one of greatest players ever and a player who all season has struggled to get a game ahead of Foden, Gundo and Mahrez? He’s had one good season in 3 and even then didn’t get that many goals or assists whilst playing on the right. Even at 33 Messi scores treble and creates double to Bernie.

For a couple of million a week in wages, for a maximum of 12-18 months, for the privilege of watching him likely obliterate dressing room harmony due to his ridiculous wages, in exchange for giving up a young lad who has shone for City and , only by his own very high standards, has just had a less than perfect season on part because the English media decided to paint him as a nazi .

The days of city signing players who believe they are doing us a favour by coming here are thankfully over.

10 years ago I might have been persuadable on this but to be fair Messi was in his prime then and Bernardo was a young teen.

But give up Bernardo for a fella that has never shown any inclination to step outside the cosseted comfort of Barcelona? There is no money that could make that deal attractive.

I think unsettled was appropriate. With Barca a potential opponent this was designed to unsettle him and the team for sure. This will hit the papers and run awhile along with all the earlier stuff and his dip in form.
Barca is hoping it effects us for Lyon, because they know they can't hang with us.

If that was the case then Kev would of been the better choice.

I don’t think there is a remote chance of it happening but in terms of a straight swap(which Barca wouldn’t do in a million years) it’s a no brainer. Wouldn’t want us to buy Messi now for the ridiculous fee it would be at his age and he’s definitely on the wane. He’s just that good though even at this stage he’s still better than almost everyone in the world.

Fucking cradle snatcher
 
Bernardo was arguably the best player in the PL last season. He had a down year (as has already been mentioned). Barca is looking for a bargain-bin deal thinking City are the unsophisticated club it seams all others believe them to be (somehow in the face of City Group's masterclass of management and professionalism).

Its old-guard arrogance through and through. City should just reply with "Okay, boomer" and tell them fuck right off.
