Bernardo Silva

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Barca are drifting towards a financial meltdown. They did their dodgy deals re tv rights last summer but, instead of using that money to bring about some financial stability they blew circa €160m on players and brought another 4 or 5 in on free contracts - (their wage bill was at the max allowed under la Liga rules) they seem determined to spend every penny of income they receive. They are borrowing long term to cover short term costs… a bit like getting a mortgage to cover your weekly shopping bill.

Welcome to the CFG. Catalan City FC.

Gonna need live footage of Serrano making that deal.

Him signing a new contract is great and all, but it leaves somewhat of a sour taste this time round. I think it's clear he's had his head out the door for a while now, and hasn't been 100% committed to staying here. If a decent offer has come in he would have been away imo.

Does it matter, it's never effected his game? As long as it means he stays for another season or 2 then alls good.

Get a grip

I don’t like Barcelona and their dirty ways. They act all high and mighty and from the outside may look welcoming but once you go there as a player you see how underhanded they are.

Time and time again they use methods such as the media to pressure players into caving to their demands be it lowering their salaries or leaving the club. Look at the de jong, Franck kessie. Heck even messi in his final years wasn’t spared the in the politics of Barca and thus had to leave.

When did you play for them mate?

Which has nothing to do with him. We've had a lot of players that have left because they weren't 100% happy here. Bernie hasn't exactly been sulking or running this club down in the meantime. A "decent offer" coming in isn't on him and yes, if one had come we'd've possibly let him go. Bottom line he's been a faithful and tireless servant to this club and is at the level of few. His game has not been impacted by his emotions so any negative feelings toward him relative to that are pretty much irrelevant.

Regardless of my thoughts on the situ, its great he's staying.

I'm exactly the opposite. Signing a new deal is indicative of him putting the uncertainty behind him. If he doesn't commit one way or another this summer I would be saying it'd be better to sell him.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I’d be amazed if he signs a new deal after the past few windows of wanting out. He’s always said (/leaked) that it’s lifestyle and not sporting project making him want to go. What’s changed?

I hope he has changed his mind but I just can’t see it.

Unless the deal has a minimal release clause.

Well if you haven’t noticed the most obvious “change “ than let me break the news ,
He shaved his hair ffs.
