I don’t think people have said he has been poor just not quite as good as the season before.I just dont get this growing repeating of 'looks like Bernardo wants to leave'. Other than some very vague rumours very early on in the summer, there has been nothing. No links with any club, no more from 'sources that know his neighbours'. Certainly nothing from the player at any point.
The longer and later into the window without any further rumours or claims, to me, the Less it looks like he wants to leave, not more as we make out. And even if he does, a club needs to come up with an acceptable offer to make it happen.
I also don't agree with this 'he has been poor the last two seasons' distilling of it. He was great at least half of last season. The half that really mattered, when kev got injured, he stepped up along with gundo, and we went on that run. He wasn't his best for a part of it early on, but which of our players were at that point. The season before he was more inconsistent, but only in comparison to the centurions season which was outstanding. He is still a damn good player, contributes a big part, and will be missed when he leaves, if that happens.
None of that is related to Grealish btw, for clarity.

No one is trying to dump Bernardo out the side but it’s not a travesty to refresh the team by replacing him with grealish.
Bernardo was not first choice for pep for a lot of last season. Even when he was well rested.
My idea don’t forget, I believe two private pms was the deal.
Only if bernardo leaves will we be able to speak honestly about his performances for the last 2 seasons which have been subpar.. But people can't let that 3-2 game vs liverpool in 2019 go
and with all due respect to sterling's sublime tournament he needs to prove once more he can put the last season behind him and preform to the level he's clearly capable of. i believe in him but he has to recognize how much of a liability he was on the pitch whenever he played for basically most of the season!
Spot on pal.I just dont get this growing repeating of 'looks like Bernardo wants to leave'. Other than some very vague rumours very early on in the summer, there has been nothing.

Agree completely. He suffers hugely when De Bruyne plays because most things go through him, so Bernardo plays the supporting role perfectly.We don't win the league last season without Bernie.
He was immense for the last four months.
His performance away at Aston Villa is one of the finest I have seen from any City player in the last decade.
It was ten men and on a similar par to the ten man show Dave put on at Hull City.
Great player, great guy.
Is it true though he genuinely wants out do you know?We don't win the league last season without Bernie.

Fact is someone has to leave if kane is coming.I just dont get this growing repeating of 'looks like Bernardo wants to leave'.
