Here what you’re saying but it hasn’t changed much since he signed his contract. His family and his wife’s family as far as I know are in Portugal not Barcelona. And above else I really don’t want us to be bullied by the shit houses of BarcelonaDifference being mate, you are from Manchester, Bernie isn't.
He has the means to play anywhere and has already lived in Lisbon and Monaco.
If you come from a different culture, I can totally understand someone who wants to try something else after five years.
Personally, I find Manchester an aggressive, dirty place to live, although, like any big City it has it exceptions.
It is horrific to see the levels of depravation and that's from somebody who grew up in Moss Side!
Who’s getting the granite worktops then? ;-)He's not. Bernie has completely denied it.
That’s done by about 10 people outside of the transfer windows.I think writing out imaginary formations with one or two additional potential incomings should be banned myself, yet here we are. Part and parcel of the transfer business.
It doesn't really matter for one more season. We aren't going to give him away. We kept Sterling and Jesus and sold them with one year left on their contracts.
Yep and it makes sense for keeping him for another season.Bernie would have two years left next summer, if he has a big World Cup, we would still be in a strong position.

This thread will be filled with incredulous posters suggesting £60,65,70,85,80,85,150m isn’t enough.
The value will be determined by what City deem enough.
Fucking hell fella, knock yourself out.And? People can still have an opinion on it. It isn't like we get a vote for a specific number, it is just an opinion on whether it is or isn't good value.

In a nice mansion with an indoor heated pool, cleaners personal chef etc tough life lol not having to workBut can his lovely missus?
When Bernie is training or away with the team, she is stuck alone looking at the Irwell and walking John down the arse end of Salford.
doesnt mean they are correct and when you look at other transfers its even harder to see that its an accurate evaluation by the club for a player in his peak years who is truly a world class player, multiple title winner, consistent high performer in the most difficult league in the world with a very rare skill set in that he is one of those players who is exceptional in tight spaces, creative and also an extremely hard worker.....very rare you get all those combined.The value will be determined by what City deem enough.
It means that no one can be correct or incorrect. It’s a pointless debate.doesnt mean they are correct and when you look at other transfers its even harder to see that its an accurate evaluation by the club for a player in his peak years who is truly a world class player, multiple title winner, consistent high performer in the most difficult league in the world with a very rare skill set in that he is one of those players who is exceptional in tight spaces, creative and also an extremely hard worker.....very rare you get all those combined.
The catch is Barcelona aren't in a good position to make a suitable offer. PSG have just signed a couple of cheaper midfield options that their new coach wanted.It would, but we have already told him he can leave if he brings in a suitable offer.
We aren't going to renege on that and risk an unhappy player, nor set a dangerous precedent with anyone else.
Players join City for many reasons, one also being they know we keep our word and don't stand in the way of those who do want to leave.
Torres, Raheem, Jesus, Zin. Not one had a bad word to say about us.
Last one we blocked was Tevez.
Beggars belief....
I’m sorry but that is a disgraceful asking price. I’ve backed Txiki, Omar, Ferran ever since they have been here on almost everything but if true and that’s our asking price then we are a soft touch.The price is 85m euros.

Why don't you apply to do their job then?I’m sorry but that is a disgraceful asking price. I’ve backed Txiki, Omar, Ferran ever since they have been here on almost everything but if true and that’s our asking price then we are a soft touch.

FFS - empathy's clearly not your strong pointIn a nice mansion with an indoor heated pool, cleaners personal chef etc tough life lol not having to work
I suppose if you can have that in the sunshine why not but they have the rest of their lives for that
