Grealish, Foden + De Bruyne =

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

The only way I could accept Grealish playing for us is that there is a contractual obligation on his part to never wear a head band.

As in offering him to Villa? That's a hysterical headline if so.

If he doesn't like Manchester he ain't gonna like Birmingham is he.

Is there anyone Barcelona don't want?

Benjamin Mendy

Apparently this is just terrible aggregating from City Chief (which happens frequently) and it says Bernardo is the one who would leave for Grealish to come in

I read it that way at first too, but I have to assume "offering" means making it known that he's available to interested parties

If we were trying to Moneyball it, yes now would be the time to sell. But we rarely cash in on our players unless they are unhappy, and there's no sign of it with Gündy. He'll almost certainly stay to the end of his contract and leave on his own terms, like most of our long-serving players

But all the "ten year players" had multiple managers during their time with us. Most managers (including Pep) have argued that players get bored of hearing the same voice, and Pep is notoriously intense too.

Pep is heading into his sixth season, so he's in new territory, and by the end of next season he could well be our second longest serving manager ever. If he's planning to stay, then he likely needs to refresh the dressing room even if it means selling players that have been successful.
