Any fee?
Why is it a backward step to bring those to in even if we keep Bernie ?I think losing Gundo (no surprise) and replacing him with Kovacic isnt the ideal scenario.....Gundo had goals in him.....Kovacic throughout his career hasnt been that player...maybe Pep thinks he can so who knows but at present it doesnt appear great in that one respect
Having said that Kovacic is a decent player. ....certainly better that Phillips - id happily see the back of him as I just dont think he is ever going to usurp Rodri and it seemed like Pep preferred Stones and even Rico Lewis pushing into midfield rather than play Phillips
We all think that Foden may play more central...he can certainly add goals but Gundo had that knack of doing it in huge games and I think that is something experience gives players....maybe Foden just doesnt have that experience yet though he certainly has the skill set.
IF Bernardo leaves we absolutely must bring someone else in and we cant replace like for like but its going to have to be someone spectacular at some aspect of the game! If Mahrez leaves we may need 2 new players
If we end up with just Gvardiol and Kovacic that is a backwards step even keeping Bernie
Any fee?
We’re paying them!Any fee?
I love Bernardo, but he's also nearly 5 years older than Rice.So the steer from the club (via Jack Gaughan) is that we’re focussing on sales before acquisitions. Rice price as a guide for Bernardo price, no offers for Laporte and Saudi interest in Mahrez.
We've just won the Treble and you want us to sign Pogba? I'd rather put McAtee in the side than go for Pogba.Right hear me out on this one- juventus want rid of pogba- city wanted him last summer and so did guardiola. As a stop gap for a year or so he’d be no older than a gundogan but offers the multi functional type player that guardiola likes while also being able to replace the goals/assists. Injury prone players have been sorted out by city medical team in the past also. I know it’s mad, but if they were keen last summer why not this summer? There is no denying under pep he could be phenomenal
5 years older and 5 times better.Any one who wants Bernardo will need to pay what City want.I love Bernardo, but he's also nearly 5 years older than Rice.
Think he'll be pissed if we turn down anything below £100m.
