It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Bobb ain't replacing Bernie pal.

I wasn't speaking as a direct replacement, even though he is a similar type of player. I am not sure that Bernardo is replaceable - he is a unique combination of skill and work ethic.

We always look at the squad as a whole and there are opportunities for Foden and Grealish to play more centrally, alongside Kev, Rodri and potential newcomers. In that position, they are the potential Bernardo replacements. That creates opportunity in the wide areas, where someone like Bobb can be used in a similar way to Grealish and Mahrez now, as an addition to the attacking lineup. He has the ability to beat an opponent, maintain possession and find a key pass. It opens up a more regular role for Alvarez too.

City think the majority of our business is already boxed.

Could be as many as five new faces!

Is that including Bellingham

Barcelona reference & Still Gundo, Bernie, Laporte, Cancelo, reference.
Barca would need to shift big wages to accomodate the above
I can only think FDJ, I really fancy Rice so hope I'm wrong but then Philips and Palmer could be a trade there.

I am not entirely convinced Bellingham is going to Real Madrid.

Me neither mate, just shows how far we’ve come as a club when we’re surprised somebody turns us down for real madrid, IF he has turned us down :)

 

[Centurions]

Still Gundo, Bernie, Laporte, Cancelo, Breckin, Doyle.

Also think Palmer and Phillips might also be up for grabs.

Walker wants to stay, even if means running down final year.

Is that Tommy Doyle or Callum, Tommy presumably?

Sad face time :(

Really? You fancy Rice over FDJ? ..not sarcasm, genuine question. Seems a few others are of a similar persuasion, so I’m wondering if I’m missing something, but I just don’t see a £100m player.

Gundo is free, but Bernie+Laporte+Cancelo = 160m, realistically.
I would be happy to accept Frenkie, but surely they would still have to give us some money? Unless it's Fati+Frenkie.

I would still hope to sign Rice and make a deal involving Kalvin. We have the money, so it's about time we spend it. If we lose the above players, that's some major losses, so we needed to replace these guys accordingly.

Bellingham still going to Madrid though.

I smell dipper..

Bernardo thread, Summer '22:



Nah, what looks goofy is you constantly repeating twitter shite as though you have some special access to what's gonna happen. You were wrong a year ago and you know fuck all this year, so pipe down son.

Ignore him mate, another bitter opposition fan - along to derail the forum. Pityful.
