The only thing Bernardo is doing recently is carry water bottles.We don't just need a starting CB, we also need a Silva replacement. If we don't get the latter, and we make the same mistake as we did not replacing Kompany, we'll end up with Gundo in the 8 because, outside of Zinchenko, who is just not at the level, Gundo is the only player with 'controller'-like abilities. We all know Gundo is a shit no.8 but Bernardo is a ball carrier and Foden atm is more of a difference maker.
We play Wolves in just over a week and yet we've only brought in 2 bench players (on paper at least)
Last thing we want to be doing after last season is chasing LFC right from the off. We have to start like a rocket. Pissing about not talking to Napoli because ADL hurt our fee fees is ridiculous and the lack of even rumour for a CM is concerning.
We've signed one player of note in the last two summers (Mahrez 2018, Rodri 2019), both of which aren't shoe-ins for our strongest xi. This year, we've been boosted by retaining our Champions League status and by the fact that clubs need money because of the pandemic, yet here we are 10 days out from the season starting and looking at Otamendi and Stones starting our first game back. It's a shambles whichever way you look at it.
What is predictable is needy fans like you, who know the square root of fuck all in terms of what has or is happening spouting off.Looking for all the world that we put all our eggs in the Messi basket and have been left with our pants down. Predictable really
Simple answer, no. I don't think the club operate that wayI'm a cynical person so cut me some slack before calling me negative, I know I am!
Anyone think the club is reluctant to invest in players for pep when we don't know if pep will be here beyond next season?

Seeing as we put all our eggs in the Messi basket does this mean Txiki is scrambling around for more signings ?
No the entire model, with a DOF, is we buy the same players for whoever is manager. As far as I see there is no reluctance to invest, only a reluctance to rush to overpayI'm a cynical person so cut me some slack before calling me negative, I know I am!
