Bernardo Silva

[Deleted member 81382]

I think for Pep its negligent to have players in the squad who don't want to be here. We don't know if that is the case for Bernardo because I don't think he would ever go public and will just get his head down but if Pep looks into his eyes and thinks the passion isn't there then hes got to go.

Bernardo obviously wants to go to Barcelona but I really don't think he's the type of person to kick up a fuss in order to get the move nor will he if it doesn't happen. He'll do what he did after last summer, get his head down and put in consistently top drawer performances.

As for Pep, he said in his press conference on Friday that Bernardo is focused on the new season and that he really hopes to keep hold of him. Pep wouldn't say that if he thought Bernardo might down tools or be a problem in the dressing room.

Probably offer us it in Luncheon Vouchers!

What we have moved on from Green Shield stamps ?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

De Jong hates Manchester apparently. No point having another player who doesn't want to live here

He doesn't hate Manchester, he hates the thought of playing at United.

He and his family were shown a house in Hale by City and it was all agreed, before Barca came in with a ridiculous offer.

Are we at all interested in him this time?

Given Barça's reticence to put their hands in their pockets and actually pay anyone what they owe them, I'd be surprised if Mendes wants to deal with them when he could get that thick Qatari wedge from PSG no questions asked

Surely a player exchange makes sense. 2 separate deals so Barca can fiddle the books -:)

TH, good sir… in your OPINION, not what you’ve heard (to be clear to others if you reply). How do you see this playing out? Barça or PSG and who would we likely get to replace him and is it doable before the window shuts? As I say, your personal opinion not fact or info heard.

My personal opinion is Bernie will go late in the day but we have already covered that base, should it happen.

Barca are on the clock, so Paris, with their spending power and also selling Rabiot to those dumb fuckers, might give them an edge.

I'm not ruling out Neymar yet, even if Pep has. Something which could happen very quickly if the wheels started to turn.

All depends on whether or not we actually want him this time. I'm not so sure that we do.

Barca seem to be good at cooking the books, admittedly?

Pep loves a midfielder. Keeps the ball and has a wide range of passing. Could see him slip in a killer ball to Haaland. He would be more of a Gundo replacement for me. Next season big jude comes in and we are set.

Could you see city getting two deals done if Bernardo was to leave instead of one or is it too late for that to happen (getting 2 deals done)

Cheers, interesting either way. As sad as I’d be to see him go, I don’t want us holding him to ransom either. I just hope we bring in a decent replacement who does better than we expect and a good LB, we are done then and can plough on.

Isn't Rabiot moving from Juve? Certainly not correcting the "dumb fuckers" part, mind...

PSG selling Rabiot, when he’s a Juventus player, explains how they can pay their massive wages……..

City say not.

Me, being the dumb fucker. Always still have him in Paris!

 

[HelloCity]

I fear he has one foot out of the door at this stage. Between Paris and Barca, he is expecting one of them to come up with the cash and he will take either move :(

Seems to be more a lifestyle decision than a footballing one.

Despite reports he is putting down roots in Manchester, people closer to him say it is nothing that binds him.

We could have some seriously big till before deadline day to spend.

Is Paris really all that? Climate isn’t exactly Spain or Portugal. The league isn’t as good as several others. He’d basically be taking a step down in his career because he thinks Paris is a better city to live in for the next 3-4 years.

Zero chance we make a last minute mega offer for Bellingham?

It would be embarrassing if we are selling Bernardo this year for less than £100m. The number mentioned by tolmie would be fine in the next summer.

Yes, I would see him as a good fit for those reasons. I'm just not sure I've seen anything which would indicate that we're remotely interested in him this summer.

Overcooking maybe! The Cules chaos theory is in operation:

Chaos theory is an interdisciplinary scientific theory and branch of mathematics focused on underlying patterns and deterministic laws, of dynamical systems, that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, that were once thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities.

Level 4 operational.

Love dejong personally, we have to look to cover midfield now for the next 5 seasons.
