Three players have left permanently with a few surprises on loan as well. Normally winning pots makes players want to stay yet the three that have gone have gone where the chance of winning things is a lot less.

Is it because of the World Cup and in the case of Sterling and Jesus they want to be playing more? Is it the uncertainty of Peps contract situation? Or is it simply the time is right to move on?

Bernado himself hasn't really said much to quash the persistent rumours about him wanting to move either which you can take which way you want.

Pep is correct though in only wanting fully committed players. Maybe Bernado has indicated to Pep he is fully committed as the professional we know he is but if an opportunity arose he would wish to explore it


Perhaps Bernardo feels he doesn't need to quash rumours because they didn’t orginate from himself in first place.

In addition, you are correct that Pep has said on many occasion that if a player wants out he won't stop them, yet yesterday he said he 100% wants Bernardo to be a City player this season. I read that as he is staying but happy to let the press speculate over nothing.

I've only seen Bernardo linked barca who are fucked and can't sign him realistically anyway.

Thats just my take on it though.

If we sell Bernardo I think the most sensible target and what I could see is us make a huge 100m+ bid for the uber talented left footed wonderkid CB/LB Gvardiol from Leipzig, who Chelsea are also desperate to sign, so we could outflank and gazump them almost in revenge for Cucurella at the same time.

We do have a relationship with Leipzig from our Angelino dealings, so I'm gathering it's friendly enough.

I think any bid we make for Gvardiol could be more like a 120-130m range, no joke, because the word is any way to get him has to be way over the top, bit I am not against it as he's a rare player who also can fill multiple needs for us.

Bu that I mean not just LB and CB (also since Laporte may be out for a while). I also mean as a CM/CDM.

Like Pep has done with other players I can easily see how Gvardiol could also slot in as a 6-8 box to box type of player. He's got the technical ability, makes a lot of runs as a CB and LB, loves to cuts inside, works hard, and can tackle hard and has good anticipation.

Otherwise, we're relying on a lot of hope and none of the other LB options and ways to fill Bernardo's role are going to be easy to find.

We were looking at Ryan Gravenberch when we were looking at Phillips, but he wanted to start and now he's a Bayern player.

I can't quite tell who else is worth much investment.

Anyone remember Bobby Duncan, the wonderkid cousin of Steven Gerrard who left us to become the Dippers' second coming, then left them to become the hero of Fiorentina, then left them to become Derby's main man?

Well, he's just joined Spanish third-tier club Real Balompédica Linense, aged 21 and with just 90 minutes of senior football under his belt (180 minutes if you include the Auto Windscreens Shield)...

That’s mental. He was class for our kids. Badly advised to go to Liverpool and then was badly advised to go to Fiorentina.

RB just signed a highly rated left back I think, so it’s no surprise to see Angelino off.

better quality than zinch going forward but about as poor defensively. I read he had other options over here but he must be settled in Germany. good luck to him

Yeah my thoughts too. People can say he moaned about not playing when here, but we sold him only to buy him back - I’d think I was being brought back to play as well, otherwise what’s the point?
