Title: Bernardo Silva?
Post by: Hesperus on May 26, 2017, 11:14:26
Strong rumours we are about to sign him and he's in Manchester undergoing a medic. Decent Monaco player.

Interesting, they've quite a few decent attacking players but I thought we might be after the right back who we have also been linked with!

Also linked with their left back Mendy. For better or worse it looks like we're getting Walker for the right back position.

I wonder if we'll play him mainly through the middle or out wide...

If we're losing nolito and navas, I guess there's space out wide. Will be even harder to pick a team if we get Sanchez in too.

With Bach on the way out. Clichy gone, we're down to fuck all home grown.

Garcia. Maffeo. Angelino. Unas. Roberts. Gunn. Diaz Will we start to see them play next season???

He is a winger isnt he? Not certain that is where Pep will play him, we have a few options there. Looked good against us, very good, we couldnt get the ball off him. Is that the end of Sanchez turning up? What about Roberts?
Title: Re: Bernardo Silva?
Post by: gavin on May 27, 2017, 21:42:05
Doubt it is the end of Sanchez. Roberts looks doubtful indeed. Bit concerned he played in a team where Scott Sinclair was player of the year but he has looked very good on occasions I've seen him but then again mainly against shite opposition.

Hard to imagine how we could replace David Silva or provide like for like cover if he is injured. However, with our first signing of the summer we have just done  that and with another Silva who is a magician with the ball.

Really looking forward with excitement to see Bernardo playing in a City shirt and with David Silva.

That criticism would carry a little more weight if City had managed to beat Celtic in either of the games between the two.  ;)

All about building a squad. Remember Ilkay  Gundogan a midfielder been out most of the season.
So Bernardo Silva a midfielder good replacement?  Have to say Gundogan fitness or lack of is a worry

Another very young player too. The age profile of our squad is improving.
