Garcia mate, Laporte will come round eventually, he’s just not used to being on the bench.

Man City Star 'Would Be Delighted' To Sign For Barcelona This Summer - Club 'Would Welcome' Arrival of Player

Manchester City centre-back Aymeric Laporte "would welcome" playing for Barcelona next season, according to Spanish journalist Miquel Blazquez.

I simply thought that such a deal went through having misheard in-game Euro commentary.

I don't really get this - if we lose Aguero and Bernado and replace them with Kane and Grealish, I think it's a step down in quality.

I get the shiny and new and English thing, and that Aguero didn't play much last season, but I don't buy in to this idea that we're getting massive upgrades to our squad.

If anything, the starting 11 is going to look weaker on paper next season that it has since Pep's first season.

I love Bernardo but he's hardly set the world alight recently and his issue with the climate etc .. has potentially hampered his development so I'm sticking my neck out to predict Grealish would have more impact next season on an upward trajectory.. and I just didn't see Sergio staying fit enough to make a long lasting contribution

You don't buy footballers at our level and worry about resale value. You buy them because they're good enough to play for us.

With the academy players we're selling/sell on clauses etc we can easily make £50m a season nearly every season now. So you can write off a loss if you need to. Kane might get injured and not deliver. Haaland might join and get a career ending injury. You don't know what will happen there. Kane does have a history of problems but has still come back and scored a lot of goals each time.

I‘m not basing my opinion on unpredictability of injury coz its a contact sports after all but more along the lines , what if his playing style doesn’t fit as we hoped for ? what if he does Ibra the long nose ?
There are some many variables even at this level where the club is atm .
Theres a book we need to balance at the same time .

Neither would have made it with us so can’t really blame them, we would only have been extending to loan out and then sell. I suspect Bernabe will return to Spain, Barca B have been rumoured among others including David’s Real Sociedad. Felix has been linked with several Championship sides and Celtic but he may well try to piggyback the buzz around his brother’s Germany U21 success and look to the Bundesliga

IMO
Grealish > Silva
Aguero > Kane - except that Aguero is in the twilight of his career and as of late, is frequently unable to start due to injury.

Anyhow, I rather doubt that we'll sign Kane, because Levy is - predictably - being entirely unreasonable.
 
We've kind of heard rumours about a few players that may not be 100% happy with things, such as playing time or whatnot. But we've only really got any substantial ideas about Bernardo and Sterling. We believe Bernardo is looking to go, and Sterling is looking to stay. But we haven't really heard anything substantial about Laporte or Jesus. There's split opinion about whether Laporte wants to go or not (and he's already turned down one rumour publicly) and nobody has much idea about Jesus.


So has anyone heard anything concrete about either?

Come on we all know where he will end up!

Probably. But it's crazy how old and unbalanced their squad is. They need a CB or two fast as well. Lots and lots of money required at a difficult time for the club.And then there's Haaland, supposedly promised for next year already. Can he really promise to buy both players next summer? Sure that one doesn't get cold feet? Interesting times ahead. What will Perez do?
 
Laporte rumours today and Ben White mentioned as replacement, I cannot see Real or Barca giving best 60m + for Laporte. Not in their current financial mess. neither any other club. Keep Laporte as we do not know what will happen to Dias and Stones. Maybe another great season from them maybe not...

Shame we were talking about Bernado Silva isn't it.

All that work gone to waste.

Mind you it would have still been not relevant even if you had worked it out.

Shame you dont work hard enough to look that I corrected that and posted Bernardo's winnings
