Wishlist Bernardo Silva

[Georgy 439]

Official now, that's a board right there not wasting time like us. Judging from Conte's comments saying he wants to complete his team for CL next season instead of upgrading the team, I'm skeptical we will even search for a new RW, LB or RB to be honest. We will see.

we were never interested in Silva is the truth. When our scouts were watching the Monaco vs Juve game, apparently we were monitoring Lemar (who I think would be more ideal for us being a left footer), Bakayoko and Mendy. I think there was another player too, but can't remember exactly. Does anybody really think Silva is or will be better than Willian or Pedro? I don't personally, and we need a player to displace them not be at their level. The more I have watched him, the more I feel he's a good dribbler and can create, but is more of a Mata-esque player who goes missing too often.

They have Sterling, Sane, De Bruyne and Silva. Nevermind Jesus and Aguero. 

Not sure why they need Bernardo. 

Still, we will have to be very good in this summer market. And seems quick too or everyone available will be sold.

It's called negotiating. You think we're going to go in and throw down too much money for a player who isn't worth the money? The reason City have got Silva is pretty simple; nobody else was serious enough about him to put in a solid offer.

Give our club some slack for Christ' sake.

I said a few days ago in some other thread that City will mean business this summer. They had a poor season after all that spending last summer.

I trust Chelsea and our owner to keep their word to Conte who has proven to be the best. Chelsea and Abramovich have a key in their hands with Conte to greater success. 

If they don't back Conte this summer, he should walk and we can all give up on our board and their ambitions. 

 

I see Chelsea fans replying on City's tweet about them signing Silva, saying "City is a club that gets things done." Some of our fans are really annoying melts. 

We all knew Pep isn't taking that shit from this season onto the next one. Water is wet, City is blue and City is a ruthless spender. And Pep is just an ordinary chequebook manager like Mourinho.

€50m + an additional €20m in performance related add-on's. Seems Monaco are easily negotiated with. They have no problem taking smaller initial fees and inserting add-on's. Did the same with Martial.

I seriously doubt we're getting Alexis. Only if Alexis himself pushes for a move he might join us but I think we have little to no chance. 

Agreed.

-Arsenal missing out on Cl first time in decades

-Wenger extends his contract

-Then Sell your best player to your biggest rival. Their fans might riot if they did that.

And they should, because what's going on at Arsenal is utterly and utterly ridiculous.

So there is a chance? since both of us might have underestimated their incompetency.

The Payet problem West Ham faced back in January shows a player has more power than a club has.

If Sanchez wants Chelsea, and Chelsea can pay Arsenal, they have to accept. And to be honest, Arsenal fans should accept his decision if it happens. Shows Alexis is ambitious. 

[Clockwork 1,794]

Not much bothered by missing out on B.Silva even though I rate him. 1) we were hardly linked with him. 2) there are plenty of good options out there.

what bothers me a bit though is we are most consistently linked with Bakayoko and Lukaku, two players I can't get excited about. While City are strongly linked with Mendy, Fabinho, B.Silva, etc who I rate and enjoy watching.

If people are going to use lines like "Their board are not wasting time unlike like us" can we have some substance to confirm that our board are wasting time please?

People are obviously going by past windows. I hope we have one big signing before the Confed Cup.

Pretty much what LAM09 said. As far as last one being Alonso who I think dragged over a month. I remember reading we want him ages ago and we weren't even linked to another LB. When was the last time we got rumored about signing someone and in less than a day confirmation excluding last day transfers? I think last one from memory, done relatively fast was Cesc.

Transfers aren't FIFA17, and all this so called 'Panic' is coming because City have signed one player, one player. I said earlier, we have a cup final tomorrow and even forgetting that, who's to say we are not setting the foundation and are ready to announce signings next week?

I cannot believe I am having this debate with a transfer window not even open and not only that, but our season isn't finished. Come on lads, seriously.

I'm not panicking at all. Just don't want another deadline rush like previously windows that I mentioned in Luiz's thread a few days ago IIRC.

Confed Cup starts 17th June, so that's exactly three weeks tomorrow. Nainggolan or Bellotti would be a perfect start.

[Fernando 6,585]

Good signing. 

But not what City need. 

They are not going anywhere if they keep this up. 

They need better defenders. 

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

   I don't see the big deal here. He's not a great goalscorer and he's not the creative force De Bruyne is. He's the heir apparent to Silva but it's more of a signing for the long term rather than one that will drastically boost the strength of their first XI. 

  The main reason in my opinion why City were underwhelming was because they lacked goals in the first half of the season with Aguero being their only player to score more than 10+ goals. A lot of creativity but only one goalscorer. Gabriel Jesus in the 2nd half of the season has performed as expected and looks like a consistent goalscoring threat, despite being injured. Pep has also shown he's willing to play both Aguero and Jesus together.

  But if they sign both Walker and Mendy, I think it's time to start getting worried. Nevertheless, we still have a huge game to negotiate tomorrow. Once it's over though, no fucking around Granovskaia, Emenalo and co. Time to get to work.

Not wasting time like us 🤣. People are fucking mental. We've just won the league,THE LEAGUE! tomorrow itll be a DOUBLE hopefully and already we've got numpties slating the club (despite having zero knowledge of what our plans are) for not signing a player unheard of by most 12 months ago. City need all BUT another tricky winger. If they'd have gone out and signed a couple of tasty CB or a good GK I'd be thinking good business. But honestly not concerned about this guy. Seriously calm your tits people
