It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Chappie]

The fee isn’t the same every window, especially if the player rejects the new offer put on the table and right now we do have a “game changer” with the Saudi.
I want to work out exactly why people suddenly think he is staying.
We know two things:
We offered him awhile back an improved contract that would give him the same wages as Grealish
The Saudi club offered an insane amount of money that he hasn’t yet rejected
He hasn’t said yes to either, that we know of
Am I missing something?

You have put a lot of theories there but the simple fact is that's all they are.
As you say the fee isn't the same every window ,it should now have gone up,going off the stupid transfer fees that are presently being paid.
But City gave Bernardo and his agent the fee required to facilitate a move as yet know one has offered that.
It doesn't matter a jot what the Saudis or Psg have allegedly offered him salary wise until they agree to pay the agreed release clause with City, he is going nowhere.
If we are buying players with a release clause, we have to pay it or walk away.
So the same applies to anyone trying to buy Bernardo.
It's that simple.

Walkers off and Bernardo will stay.

Are 3 best players since the takeover have been replaced Kompany Dias , Yaya Kevin ( slightly different players ) Aguero Haaland , no player is irreplaceable, doesn’t matter how good they are , treble winners

Dave ?

 

[Bill Walker]

But Bernardo won’t cost the same as Mbappe?

So why were you comparing the two transfers ?

A release clause would be in a contract and Bernardo’s contract does not have a release clause. The fee is to be negotiated.
What is the theory in my previous post that you quoted, I am working on the information shared here
Now I will share one “theory” then.
I don’t see Bernardo signing a contract extension unless he has made his mind up about staying in Manchester for the long term. He isn’t signing a contract to have better wages for a year and try again a move next summer, because it will be harder for him to be negotiated under this new contract. And I remain skeptical that he wants to stay in Manchester based on nearly every single interview he gives. Just one month ago at the international team date he said he still didn’t know what he would do next season.
The Saudi Arabia transfer window closes on September 20, by the way

Dave ?

Dave was good but to be honest he wasn't exactly a game changer. He brought control to the game but he wasn't one of those guys you look up to when the team desperately needs a vital point. Kev is the closest to Yaya in that role.

Are the Saudi league just having one big spend at this this summer?

I wasn’t? I was talking about the point a poster was making. He seems to think PSG couldn’t afford Bernardo. They don’t give free money and maybe they don’t want to pay what we value him, but those are different things. Even Aurelio di Laurentiis said last week that the only club that can afford Osimhen is PSG.

You’d think they are planning long term but if it’s a huge commercial flop this coming season, maybe everyone’s prediction here that it’s the “new China” comes true

Is anyone, short of the dwindling hordes of Ronaldo worshiping weirdos, going to watch this nonsense? I’d rather watch the French League. And maybe even the Turkish league.
