Silence primarily because who is paying the money ? My bet is Bernardo will go and possibly Jesus but that’s it. Laporte isn’t going anywhere because who is paying 70/80 million for him ?

Laporte will have a chance to cement his spot anyway at the start of the season as stones will be late back? I assume it will be a Dias and Laporte partnership to start the season so it’s then up to him to keep his spot.

If Jesus goes, reckon we’d get another back up striker in?

Would be risky with Kanes injury record.

Nah they won’t do that. Pep will still use the false 9 system to rest Kane IMO.

Yeah makes sense. Can't really see a deal unless as it's an initial loan + obligation/option as you stated earlier as well. My guess is once Atletico sell Saul a move could be possible for Bernardo.

Torres central?

Fair enough if you disagree and have complete unwavering faith in every single player Pep picks to sign. I respect your right to have that view, i'll simply remind you Pep singled out Bravo as his go to keeper to replace Hart.

The notion that you're not allowed to disagree with him as if he's never made a bad decision is just ridiculous. The guy is a genius but isn't beyond disagreement.

Don't think it's unreasonable to disagree with signings it's part of what being a fan is about, it's only a discussion board.
Having said that from my memory Bravo was not the choice to replace Hart, we tried very hard to sign Ter Stegen and Bravo was very much a fall back option.
It's very difficult to argue now that letting Hart go was not the right thing to do even if Bravo particularly in the first season was not a success.
We had to develop our play from the back and Hart was not the keeper for that.

Barnett is Saul’s agent FWIW.

He‘s looked decent there.

Bernardo is twice the player of Grealish
he would properly do a better job in the next 5 seasons given the chance in the city team
is see trouble with Grealish he is a nightlife eagle loves the limelight and put him in this city team it will double

Bernado twice the player ha ha ha amazing . You obv not watched Bernardo the last 2 seasons.

good god I've just peeped his client list. wow lol. The only man making moves this window looks like. Perfect sense why Ward-Prowse was linked to Villa straight after the bid news.
