It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

This is what I'm getting at... if the lad isn't happy, he's not going to be 100% committed. He'll drift through the last year of his contract, just waiting to leave. As I said, just like Raheem.

City had a talk with Bernardo a few weeks ago…

All the feedback #ManCity got from Bernardo Silva’s family was incredibly positive, highlighting how the player was enjoying his game and life in Manchester again. Style-wise, all parties were certain that @mancity are the perfect match for Bernardo Silva. [via @polballus]

The source is excellent. He might consider a move is City’s valuation is met but he is very happy to stay.

Yaya said that Bony got a big payday, got lazy, and put his feet up.
Bony suffered a bout of malaria shortly after joining City.

We've seen many great players struggle to adapt in their first season. Going with two strikers with no experience of English football is risky.

Let's just hope they both hit the ground running!

1. Haaland is a freak, he won't have any issues
2. We won the last 2 season without a proper striker

So far he hasn’t, and if another player comes up and eats his wage rise, he only has himself to blame. He has a long contract with us and hold no cards at the moment.

Bernardo Silva does not own his own cards? How do you come to that conclusion?

He is one of the best midfield players in the world, he will have a que knocking down his door when he comes to leave.

He's under contract. Loyalty bonuses play a strong part of what comes out of a player's/representative's mouth. He's said nothing.
Feedback from the family doesn't necessarily constitute "all parties"

I'd love him to stay but suspect that City would accept any offer in excess of what we paid for him. Much the same as Raheem.

It's just a job.

Not only is Haaland is a generational talent he is also a brilliant pro, the guy is going to the very top, enjoy the ride while he is with us.

What we have:

Grealish/Foden - Haaland/Alvarez - Mahrez/Palmer

Not to mention that Foden and Alvarez are both capable of operating on either wing.

What People want:

Grealish/Foden - Haaland/Alvarez - Gnabry/Mahrez/Palmer.

We really aren't short in terms of numbers even with Sterling and Jesus leaving. Why can't people see this?

IMO Gnabry or some other extra signing is just an insurance (if we can afford it) in case Grealish, Alvarez or Palmer can't hit the ground running.

For that reason I hope we sign someone like that (basically just needs to be like the best of Sterling and Jesus rolled into one lovable package with a decent haircut and charming smile). Its a long season.

I think we need one of the wide men to be a real speed merchant otherwise it's all a bit samey. That's what Sterling offers us and why it would be a risk not to replace him. I agree Gnabry would be ideal.
