Yeah it was his dream club and is for loads of Dutch players. What’s changed is that this week the credible English journos are now saying he’s willing to join. I’m not deluded we’re only getting him because of Ten Hag and De Jong will know too that the midfield will be built around him unlike at Barca.

Oh I get all that - he’ll be great for you.
But he has specifically said this very summer that his preference is to stay at Barca.
I’m sure he’s willing to join you now, but dismissing his clearly stated preference as club propaganda is evidently wrong.

The fact that City don't seem to be pushing for him and there’s very little noise about other midfielders (except maybe Bellingham next summer), makes me quite relaxed about Bernardo's future.

Yes, I feel like City must have some encouragement from Bernardo's side that makes them confident they don't have to look for a replacement right now.You just gotta listen to the City side of the noice... who all says “nah, pay 100m or piss off”
Well just the fact that Barca have no money should be confidence enoughYes, I feel like City must have some encouragement from Bernardo's side that makes them confident they don't have to look for a replacement right now.

I was even thinking hypothetically if they were able to spend money from selling De Jong to the rags. I'm not too worried about Bernie either way.Well just the fact that Barca have no money should be confidence enough
