It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Damien10]

No its not simple because its bullshit.

He played wide right for Monaco, said he likes playing wide right and he played a lot of wide right for City. When KDB was injured he got to play in midfield.

He wasnt handled poorly, hes just not good enough to play ahead of KDB.

Pep went out of his way to find him a role on the pitch this season, he went to bat for him in public after the Conguitos thing and he said he would never want to sell him.

Pep couldn't have done much more for Bernardo.

I think you'd have to be willfully stupid to really thing a player not good enough to start every game in his favourite position is "being handled badly"

Not good enough to play ahead of KDB is that by name or by merit. Bernardo at times deserved to play ahead of Kevin this season.

Citys best form this season come when Kevin was out, Bernardo and Gundo was unbelievable during that period.

Pep would constantly sub Bernardo when others was playing alot worse, was it just easy for Pep to make them moves because Bernardo is a nice guy?

So you're inventing nonsense and getting upset when people point it out.

What nonsense? If the story is false, fair enough, but we’re all reacting to the same story here

Not playing in his best position, it's actually quite simple isn't it?

What would you say was his best position? Personally 3 titles in 4 years since signing him wouldnt point towards pep making too many errors in managing our players

I thought we were building from a position of strength yet most of the talk recently is of deals potentially being made for Jesus, Bernardo and Laporte.
Of course it could all be pie in the sky nonsense but if there's any truth in the three of them wanting out or being allowed to leave then our incomings need to be something special because we are talking some top notch players being sold here, not a couple of Fringe players.
I trust the club yadda yadda yadda but not sure I like where this window is potentially heading.
The players we have been linked to are not easily attainable by any stretch and it wouldn't shock me to see both Kane and Grealish starting next season at their current clubs.
Go big or go home City.

fucked up we’re not only losing everyone in the squad but also Chelsea are buying everyone we want, and Newcastle are the new “oil” club and can out bid us.

Terrible time to be a blue huh!

 

[EekC]

True enough.

He was swallowed whole by Chelsea in those games.

He doesn't look half the player he was maybe three years ago.

Tbf we got swallowed whole by Chelsea as well

No he isn't better than KDB. that isn't a criticism he just isn't not sure any midfielder in Europe is .

Maybe the term 'best position' was the wrong term. Playing Bernardo with freedom is where he shines.

How dare you?!

Exactly. So why bring someone in who won't improve upon it?
