If that were to happen and Bernardo stayed for the duration, then the triumvirate (Gundogan, Bernardo, de Bruyne) could all bow out in the summer of 2025.Gundo on a 2 year
It's 12 months too late mate. We need to be blooding their replacements from now whilst they're at their peak & not when they're finished with high end football.If that were to happen and Bernardo stayed for the duration, then the triumvirate (Gundogan, Bernardo, de Bruyne) could all bow out in the summer of 2025.
I’m not suggesting we don’t buy someone, just that we could keep all three until 2025. That would allow us to have, in 2025, say Foden (25), Bellingham(22), Perone(22), McAtee (22) and others fully blooded and experienced; the numbers in brackets would be their respective ages in 2025. Those youngsters could do the hard running for their elders over the next two seasons. I just can’t see us allowing two thirds of our attacking midfield and all that experience to leave this summer.It's 12 months too late mate.

At 60 minutes, KDB was physically fucked! He had his hands on knees & was blowing like a 1950s diesel engine doing a cold morning start. Next season his game time will have to be managed to get the most out of him.
Having said that, Thierry Henry said today it was amazing that KDB's playing at all with the ongoing personal issue he's currently dealing with.
Henry said it was a private matter, so wouldn't say what it was, but could that be why Kev looked like he was staring & pointing at the sky whilst crying after scoring the equaliser against Real last week?
Apparently a City insider also said we don't expect the issue to affect the rest of Kev's season. Whatever it is, I hope it gets sorted for the fella soon...
We dont get a choice with Gundo really and by all accounts if Bernardo brings us an offer, we have promised to not stand in his way and we set a dangerous precedent if we force him to stay.I just can’t see us allowing two thirds of our attacking midfield and all that experience to leave this summer.
