It's Quiet - a new dawn

It's been said multiple times we are not in for Fabinho, I've never heard anyone explicitly say we were not in for Bernardo.

Besides that Fabinho doesn't fit the profile for a Pep DM

who says we're not in for him? source? hes quite versatile, covers right back and centre midfield, gives us height

Sam Lee and some ITK's.

What does it matter if he's versatile if he doesn't fit the way Pep wants his DM to play he'd buy Carvalho before Fabinho because Carvalho fits the profile and Fabinho doesn't.

Sam Lee other reliable journos, ITKs all saying we are not in for another midfielder.

Versatile isnt really what Pep looks for in his pivot, he wants very specific attributes and that player doesnt seem to be available. Im convinced its a position he will concentrate on next summer when Toure and Fernandinho have gone and the rest of the positions are pretty much done. Think its a big year for Kimmich if he doesnt get the games at Bayern he would probaby number 1 target.

Give up, Fabinho doesn't fit the the profile for a DM under Pep even a blind man can see that.

I think a pivot will be our biggest signing next summer. If we get our targets this summer. I expect us to sign a maximum of 2-3 major players next summer. I''m sure that's the plan going forward. This summer will be the exception. It's not ideal to be in our position and need 6-8 new players in one window.

My guess atm would be Weigl or Kimmich to replace Yaya next summer.

I'm not arsed if we get him or not, just don't know why you are so convinced of it not happening.
