It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Nah, this is ridiculous. He signed a 6 year contract and is an asset of the club. We've decided to accommodate his request to move as gratitude for "doing his part" as you say and are working in good faith to to that end, but our obligation ends when the only options presented amount to giving him away for well below his market value...this isn't a charity. He'll have to suck it up, be a professional, and collect his 150k a week or whatever he's on.

Hello Mr Levy, what are you doing on this forum?

Unless the club have already allocated his squad place, then we need to move him on.

Have you been negotiating for City? Levy isn’t taking £150 I’m sure

Just a quoted figure for effect mate. :-)

You don't keep people who don't want to be here. He has more than done his part.

Agree but at the same time you dont let them go for piss take prices/deals

Utter rubbish lately in this thread. Unbelievable!!!

How am I doing? LOL.

These rumored Bernando deals make no sense. Loans? €40M asking prices? His contract expires in 2025, if this is his market he needs to stay and get on with it.

So keep a pretty pissed off player then? I love Bernie but the standard of his performances will drop dramatically if he is kept against his wishes as its human nature! Plus it will renege on the alleged agreement he has with Pep, where he gave us last season after Pep asked him to, on the understanding he could go this season ??

 

[BufordUSABlue]

Delap is absolutely fucking miles off being our main striker. He might make it, he might not. We will find out as he gradually gets introduced over the next two seasons. Same as Foden and all the others who didn't make it.

Is the correct answer DD!!

Disagree completely.

His market value is whatever someone wants to pay.

"He'll have to suck it up" is the exact attitude that other clubs live by which is why they end up with the squad collapsing. Pep has fostered a fantastic group, he isn't going to ruin it by keeping people around who don't want to be here.

You also don't sell someone wil 4 years left on a contract for less than their value.

This mythical "Value", decided by who?

Bernardo is a pretty unique player, he isn't going to get double figures in goals and assists. He is a superb player in the right team, the exact sort of player that maybe a few years ago would have some competition to sign. At the minute it looks like Atletico are interested, purely to have Bernardo as a workhorse basically as thats how Simeone plays. One club interested and people think we are getting 100m.
