No way he ever plays for another Premier League club.

I imagine back to Benfica or maybe a season at Barcelona until he realises they don't pay their bills. Maybe MLS is an option too.

I'd be inclined to offer him 2 more years at a reduced rate with decent appearance bonus and other add ins - with another clause in there allowing him to go to Benfica on a free after the first year if he wants to.

This season has shown he still has it in the tank when played in the right position and it seems he a really positive influence on the younger members of the squad.

If he captains us to the title (and domestic treble) I think we might be able to sway him for one final hurrah

You say "when played in the right position". Really ? Bernie is the epitomy of the Old Dutch way of playing. He is all over the field . Always near or involved in the action ,whether right side , left side, dashing back to take a pass from Donna, helping in midfield. Attacking and trying to score,

He has been great for ages, This season especially.

What City have learned is that , like Gündo, players going away , as they are older , don't come back as good as they were when they left.
So , yes Bernie could easily add another year or two. Not after a break though.

There was a pundit either on TS or during game last night commenting on Bernardo being a legend and saying about him having a statue and rightly so!

Whoever it was said "well they need to make sure its on wheels, so they move it all round the ground"

Funny but a true reflection of Captain Nuisance!
