Bruno Fernandes

[LucahArchie10]

He can use any foot looks the bizz.

If true then Gundagun already gone...

Be buzzing if we sign him, when he tore up his contract last year I feared the worst and thought someone would pick him up but we have a chance this summer.

Goal scorer, creator and very similar to Bernardo.

Switch to KDB at the base of a trio of Bernardo and Bruno. Silva and Fernandinho rotating in.

No first I don't think KDB wants to play there, secondly whenever I see him play there he looks half the player, he’s one of the best attacking midfielders around , play him where he can damage the opposition. Can’t tackle for a start he has a funny side on tackling method that sees him eased off.
Bernardo looks like Peps preferred wide player.

So city bid 36, sporting rejects and pays him 2. The bidding continues with 37, 38, 39... When sporting rejects a bid of 50, they'll pay the player 30 altogether. When the bidding reaches 60, they'll owe him 50. If they accept sporting makes 60 - 50 = 10. If sporting accepts 70 they make 0, and after that they'll depart with him at a loss.

Conclusion: the russian figure of 50 seems fair to all parties, unless the contract is more complicated than our portugese friend has understood.

Caveat: I haven't double checked the calculations since my wife is in labour..

That's not how it works. If a bid over an ammout comes in and they don't accept the bid and he is made to stay the season, he gets a 2 million upgrade in pay. This is in essence an insurance on whatever income he'll have lost for the year.

So it's only 2 million one time for the next upcoming season.

I will agree to disagree, He has been playing deeper and deeper since Pep came in. He hasn't been close to the attacking threat he was under Pellegrini in terms of goals.
I think Pep will transition to a more fluid midfield that doesnt need a 'big' tackler.

Sane - Aguero - Sterling will be the front 3 next year, unless of course Sane is off.

Ndombele/rhodri
Bruno fernandes
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Foden

Would be fantastic options for years to come

A bit better than Craig Russell, Jim and Jeff Whitley, Ged Brannan and Simon Rodger.

Not married to Diane Abbott perchance?

I had to google Abbott. I have enjoyed alcoholic beverages in the London Underground too, but apart from that we don't seem to have very much in common.

Pep won't move Debryune to the base. He'll get someone else. If we get Bruno, it will signal Pep wants to keep Bernado wide. And Bruno is simply competition for Phil Foden to take over Dave's spot.

After Burnley and how Pep moved Sterling inside after 40 minutes and put Bernado outside, there is evidence Pep likes Bernado on the wings.

Especially in the premier league where teams defend deep. Close control on the flanks has gained higher importance.

My gut feeling is that Gundogan has already agreed to extend his contract, and now we're toying with the rags, planting rumours about 'imminent bids' for their targets :D

 

[cityzennn93:20]

if we sign him and Bernardo stays on the wing and we bring in someone like Felix surely we would be way overloaded in attack ?
more likely gundo is leaving and with silva leaving soon as well we would want a midifeld of bernardo/foden kdb/bruno.

 

[LAborda]

Guys...

If someone pay 100M to Sporting, we could not reject.

Below that we could reject, but have to pay to the player 2M. We only have to pay this 2M one time. This compesation only applys one time.
And we only have to pay if the offer is superior to 35M.

 

[LAborda]

And thanks for the wellcome.

I already like Man. City... But if Bruno goes there, you have another big fan.. :)

Ah! Never thought of that. However, while a staying Gundogan solves the DM problem, it doesn't preclude getting Bruno. Who is more likely to be deployed as an 8. He is in essence Debryune with less vision and perhaps a more consistent freekick.

Personally, I'd rather have Felix. Thus we have two 20 year olds (c Felix and Phil) fighting for Dave's spot. And likely grow into owning the role and the team together in 3-5 years.

But Bruno is quality too. So I can't complain either way

He seems a great player but I just wonder how we're going to make all this work. Even if Gundogan leaves that means next season our midfield would be:

De Bruyne, Bernardo, Silva, Foden, Fernandes, Fernandinho, New DM

Seems like a lot of bodies, and I'm not sure Bernardo will only be a winger especially if we're bringing in another forward.

Early days and all, but to fit in another attacking mid there have to be quite a few movements that we'll find out at a later date.

Silva coming sadly to the end of his City career, same with Fernandinho and worries about KDB fitness, but mainly covering our backs for a possible transfer ban.

Yeah I can see the bonus of getting him in this summer for the long-term, just think we're going to have a lot of players for three positions next season.

Let's go through it.

Striker: Aguero/Jesus
Left wing: Sterling/ Sane
Right Wing: Bernado/Mahrez
LM: (Bruno or Felix)/Phil
RM: Kev/David
DM: Rodri/Dihno
RB: Walker/ Bissaka
LB: Mendy/Zinchy
LCB: Larpote/Aiderwereld
RCB: Stones/Kompany
GK: Eddy/ Muric

That would be the squad if you ask me. Personally, I'd take Felix over Bruno. Better prospect.

 

[adaminho]

Personally if it means that Phil will go down the pecking order I don't want this guy or Felix regardless of how good they are... just get a dm rb and lb.

 

[BlueCityfan]

What's your opinion of Bruno Fernandes @Dax777 ?

Is he someone special like Bernardo who would be just too good to turn down?

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

If hes no relation to Gelson it's a yes from me
