Things seemed to change after the Mendy business. I don't think he's ever felt the same about the UK since.What relevance is the team he is playing for. Bernardo has never once said a bad word about the club.
He isn't leaving City for professional reasons (well not as far as we know anyway) its simply a personal choice for him and his family. By all accounts that is the key driver here. You think his missus or her family give a shit about Bernardo playing for City or Barcelona at a footballing level, I don't.
At that point it's Bernardo's choice. We all want him to stay, but if he wants to leave, he wants to leave. When he leaves us, personally I couldn't care less where he goes, as long as it's not to a PL rival...Yep I’m cool with him seeing his contract out and leaving for nought but my suspicions it won’t be his boyhood club but Barcelona
Supposedly. I'm saying he'd only leave for Barca, if at all. He's not leaving City for PSG or Real Madrid. That's nonsense...Isn't Berny a boyhood Barca fan
Tapas, meh! But if we’re pinning our hopes on keeping Bernard with the Nell Lane Estate, then I’ll wish him well! (Incidentally which school did you go? I went to Stretford Grammar, but I had a couple of mates who lived on Nell Lane)Nowt wrong with Nell Lane estate. I went to school round there, & there's a great view of Southern Cemetery! :-)
No, but I'm pretty sure he does. So what are you saying? That he's some henpecked fucking pussy who doesn't have a say in where his career goes? Not buying. He wanted/wants Barca, lifelong dream, simple as. The rest is a bunch of white noise, bullshit made up on places like blue moon. He's not going to PSG or Real Madrid even if his missus were expecting triplets, bet on it. And since Barca are dead broke he's not going there either. Now if they get rid of a shitload of people and/or come into a benevolent new investor that could change. Otherwise, nothing to see here.What relevance is the team he is playing for.

So if he gets the chance to play for his boyhood club then money won't come into itSupposedly. I'm saying he'd only leave for Barca, if at all. He's not leaving City for PSG or Real Madrid. That's nonsense...
Agree with this. £75m is giving him away as it is, so if they won't pay then it's great news for us.The curious issue which stood out for me was Barça buying several players last summer, but apparently Bernardo was their main target? How does that work?
If I was Bernie, I'd be seriously pissed! They evidently prioritised other players above their supposed No 1 target, so either they can't want him that badly, or they think they can get him for peanuts... \0/
Thankfully City ain't having it. If they can't match our valuation, the player sees out his contract with us & leaves on a free aged 31.
I'm cool with that. He's more use to us playing, than trying to replace him with a peanuts fee from Barça, whose latest economic lever has been rejected by La Liga.
They're probably relieved, as it means they can't afford Messi unless he plays for free. Lol :-)
