Neymar waiting by the phone.

He is asking about City.

I fear that he can ask all he wants, I don’t think we’ll be picking the phone up.

I’d love him here - not sure where he’d fit in - but he’s staggeringly good.

Given we don’t seem to be linked with a centre mid even with the Bernie links, I’d assume there’s a plan for one of the others to move there - Foden or Grealish? - thus opening up a winger spot?

Not sure, doubt it, but would be brilliant.
 
If we sell Bernardo - our best player after De Bruyne - to one of our direct rivals for the Champions League, when they can't even register players, for about half of what he's realistically worth, when the season's already started, then we're not a serious club, in my opinion, and you can put any realistic chance of winning the title in the bin. Tell them to fuck off.
 
Because Pep has said consistently and on numerous occasions that he will not stand in the way of anyone leaving. Several posters on this thread reckon that 80m is the rumoured fee.
IMO this is a very naive policy from the club.

80m is an unfathomably, stupidly low price for a player of Bernardo's stature.

If it were the other way round and he was on sale we'd be expected to pay 150m+ for that kind of player.
 
Jack can replace Bernardo. Neymar to play LW. Phil to rotate LW and RW. Neymar can also play as an attacking midfielder. We have some many options with this transfer.
No he can’t because Grealish and Bernardo are different. The combo of Bernardo and KDB is only possible because of the high work rate of those two. Grealish doesn’t run/ work as much as the former two.
 
I just don’t understand why we don’t swap de jong for Bernardo. Can do it in two separate transactions so both clubs get healthy cash flow on accounts. Just seems so obvious.

No chance we go anywhere near neymar imo and psg have just signed 2 cm in Ruiz and Sanches so can’t see them adding Bernardo.

That would make too much sense, like leaving Haaland on to score a hattrick on Sunday, or buying a left back, or playing in white shorts every year.

ya like yesterday?

Agree with you totally but we seem to be happy to let players go who want to leave and to whatever club they want to go to.
Sane and Eric Garcia are 2 examples of young players who wanted to go to specific clubs in their own country.
Bernardo appears to want to go to Barcelona and going by comments on this thread, it looks like we may accommodate him at a ridiculously low selling price.
I just don't understand it?
 
Seriously though Neymar would be a monstrous addition to this team on the wing. He would be both another target for our new system of "pack all the playmakers into the middle and ping balls behind for Haaland" and a supplier.

Neymar - Haaland - Foden

Gundo/Grealish - Rodri - KDB

Would be potentially the scariest midfield and attack assembled since Xavi-Busquets-Iniesta, Neymar-Suarez-Messi


It would also be hilarious seeing a sizeable part of the fanbase having to do a 180 and start liking him, and seeing him generally dispel some of the nonsense people come up with about him.

Would definitely think Grealish would step back to the 8 role if Bernardo left. If we were genuinely after Paqueta as a replacement, I think he'd be good on the LW in our team (I know he's an AM/CM, but he's very good at beating people & retaining possession).
 
Bernardo is ten times the player Grealish is, let's stop kidding ourselves. I'll support him whenever he pulls on the shirt, but it was as unecessary and egotistical a signing for us as Ronaldo was for them lot. He's nowhere near intelligent enough to offer what someone like Bernardo has.

I cant help thinking of angry Frank Doberman reading that.

Oi!! No Barcelona!! I'll give it a good slap!!!

Yes, absolutely this.
