doubt it, he doesnt want to leave at all.Does this signal FDJ to City? Barca have replacement and high wages off the bill with a decent fee also for FDJ?
He has already played there, he has rotated with Haaland as striker and in the spot behind the striker (KdB usually).I don't see Alvarez there. IMO it will be KDB, Rice, Kovacic, and one of Foden or Bernardo.
I think Bernie will likely leave tbh. Rice seems Arsenal bound.

Definitely. We won’t have a better opportunity than to let those that want to leave go now after doing the treble. If we wanted to keep Gundo we would have offered him whatever he wanted.I’m quite excited. This is needed imo. I love gundo. The guy is a legend. But bringing in fresh new players is so desperately needed after the mileage this season and simply for motivation purposes. Getting a handful of new mindsets will be good for pep. Can you imagine how hard it is to motivate the same lot of players year in and year out in hopes to achieve the success they’ve already conquered? And it’s not a slight to the players, just think it’s a bit of human nature.
All I want is creativity and speed. Regardless of how good Gundo has been the drop off in quality balls to Haaland is huge. Playmaker needed badly. Kev can then be managed bit better.
Can you ask the same players to go again? Not many will have that drive. No point watching them struggle next season. Get new fresh legs in and go again.
Were in the shit here. With KDB injured and getting older (looked knackered at times) if we lose Gundo/mahrez/bernardo thats a huge hole in that part of the squad.He has already played there, he has rotated with Haaland as striker and in the spot behind the striker (KdB usually).

Losing both Bernie and Mahrez hampers the RW heavily, we would need to invest 100% there.Were in the shit here. With KDB injured and getting older (looked knackered at times) if we lose Gundo/mahrez/bernardo thats a huge hole in the squad.
But losing Gundo and Bernie in terms of midfield, adding in Kovacic and giving Phil more minutes in midfield basically makes up for that. Plus looks like McAtee + Bobb from our youth might fill in backup minutes.
I think midfield is fine tbh, it's the wings I'm more worried about when Phil plays in the centre more.
I’ve got a conspiracy theory that sounds great in my head but probably idiotic on paper. City are going to nab Gabri veiga. It’s bizarre how quiet rumors are around him so they told him to wait until they get more clarity around gundo and Bernie’s situations. They’re becoming more clear and will now hopefully pick up traction with Gabri.Were in the shit here.

His profile would fit perfectly. Release clause. Success in la liga, young, and super creative. It makes no sense to me why someone hasn’t already paid his release clause unless he and his agent are waiting on something.

If he leaves City it is all downhill from here, thank you for the moments, the memories, the trophies and the unbelievable highs, I wish you all the best in your retirement
