That is bollocks mate
Bollocks because a different source weighed in or because Sanchez only posted his opinion that he wasn't going to come ultimately rather than the player desiring a return?
I like Adrian and follow him but he is not refuting the interest of either the player or the club, just like me doubting the board will follow through

Lu Martin said it was all bollocks earlier in the week- 2 good sources will do meBollocks because a different source weighed in or because Sanchez only posted his opinion that he wasn't going to come ultimately rather than the player desiring a return?

Two credible journalists who do not refute the rumour, only that they do not believe the board will complete the deal = surprising you continue to be confused by it
I have never made a claim that the board will follow through, only that it is both natural for the player to desire to return and legitimate that he has actually communicated the desire to do so. Only thing that could be bollocks is if the desire wasn't true and you've failed, twice, to assert any credible journalists to refute it

To be honest he started out at Barca and they are still a massive pull for any player,but the club is in turmoil and have a number of ageing players,maybe he might want to go thinking I’m guaranteed a starting spot,but on the other hand city are rebuilding and another exciting season or two is on the cards so he might feel I want some of that ...

Bollocks. All of the above that you’re asserting as fact is simply opinion.Two credible journalists who do not refute the rumour, only that they do not believe the board will complete the deal = surprising you continue to be confused by it

Why would it be natural for a player to want to return? Yes it happened with Pique but it’s not happened with 99% of footballers that left their clubs at 16.
There is only hearsay and supposition that he’s made any such feelings known. I know you believe your “Tier 1 source” bollocks but this time last year the entirety of Italy believed Pep was joining Juve.
Garcia has said fuck all about going to Barca or wanting to leave City. That’s the sum total of it. You just want to believe the source that bigs up your club (I say ‘your’ but aren’t you American/Swiss??! So maybe I should have said your chosen club).

Nothing to suggest he will go this summer, or wants to.
But 100% safe to assume a former barca academy youth, who develpops into a successful player, will always have one eye on a return, and Barcelona will always look to make sure he does. Reasonable to have an expectation that if he gets good, they will come for him and he will go. That isn't just pique, there is a whole list, they model their club and academy on that, and players buy into it from a young age.
Hopefully he signs a new contract, and we get a few years out of him, and a decent fee, plus a squad player that is club-grown in the CL.
It cannot be that bad if we are only 3 goals worse off than the Champions and let's not forget the goals chalked off pools record by VAR. I think our defence gets criticism because we defend very high and when a mistake is made it invariably leads to a goal and looks Keystone cops stuff. We cannot have the football we have with Pep's attacking style without it. What would you prefer?
A top class centre back with pace and a better back up option than Stones or Otta. Love our style of play but because of it a quick centre back would be very handy.
To be fair to him, it would be a dream move to return to Barca and be part of the 1st team squad.To be honest he started out at Barca and they are still a massive pull for any player,but the club is in turmoil and have a number of ageing players,maybe he might want to go thinking I’m guaranteed a starting spot,but on the other hand city are rebuilding and another exciting season or two is on the cards so he might feel I want some of that ...
Also a return home and to be close to his friends and family.
