Frenkie de Jong

The biggest issue is that we couldn’t get proper value for Bernardo if we did have to sell him.

Agreed, but I can’t name a player in Europe as diverse as him or with the workrate!

As much as it would pain me, how could anyone turn on Bernardo if he did ask? He’s never downed tools (like some), leaves everything on the field, the consummate pro, it would be shit but he out of anyone deserves to choose, that being said, we get what he’s worth, no sentiment…

Laporte, I think he’d jump at it personally, he’d be top dog in the spine of the rebuild, the problem is us finding a replacement of his calibre without being bent over, both should be retained, one more obvious than the other, but retained all the same…

Laporte seems replacleable on paper with Pau Torres (release clause: 70m). Bernardo would be harder to replace imo.

Timber from Ajax would be a great replacement if Laporte left.

Not even a player with the middle name Labille who has his own emoji?

I like him but think we need more experience, personally

 

[yerwot?]

Lol, imagine he gets off? (:

No, joking aside, Bernardo is the engine of this team for me, a total hybrid of my fav players down the years, can’t shake we are gonna lose him though, irking feeling!

Say it aint so....be like losing a favouritr son. :(

John, will not be going into quarantine this summer - let’s just get that straight

Had a snippet today that they’ve asked for 2 players plus circa 40m, it isn’t happening on those terms, considering the two touted, one is Laporte, the other my boy who is the heart of the team for me, can’t even say his name…. If we deal on that, then despite Haaland, absolute mugs, anyway, thankfully we aren’t that stupid!

Not doubting your snippet but every Barcelona journo is saying they need €60-70m in cash for the accounts and that would value Laporte AND Bernardo at….€30m combined.

Even for a bunch of chancers that seems beyond the pale.

He’s a treemendous player though.
