I suppose it will depend on how personally happy Sancho is here as its not as though UE has him firing on all cylinders .

It shows how little interest I have in seeing Man City wallop everyone in sight, Bernado Silva has been there years and I have no idea at all what sort of player he is, only that he always seems to play in most games.

Same. I'm like that with most football. I saw people on here giving Ugarte the bird the other day and it struck me that, though I knew his name (and that he's from Uruguay because I'm a sucker for Uruguay), I had no idea what he looks like, where he plays, how much he cost or whether he butters bacon rolls. It largely passes me by.

Bernardo put in one of the best individual displays I've seen from an opposition player when they beat us under Gerrard and he scored that mad volley.
he's been superb lately

That's because he's good enough to be able to play most positions (and has across midfield) in Guardiola's side.

With Sancho, I remember reading his agents saying that his next move will be a football decision rather than being about maximising the amount of money they can make. So it's possible that we might sign him on more favourable terms.

With Bernando Silva, I don't watch Citeh much either but I did watch the Liverpool-City league game a month or two back. Silva was brilliant. Absolutely ran the game and was obviously the man of the match.

I’m pretty much the same.

OK, I just think of him as one of the players on the highlights congratulating Harlaand after he's scored another tap in to complete his hat trick in a routine win.

He's probably the player that's had a dozen touches of the ball in the build up before playing a great pass into the winger, who then squared it to Haaland.

Im all for Silva on a free but who's shirt is he taking? I doubt he's leaving city to sit on a bench, if its Tielemans no, Buendia? yes bring him in. Class player who's played 60 game seasons for years and never gets injured

Silva wouldn’t come here - but if he were here he starts every game.

Yep.

He has been talking about returning to Portugal for a long time, he will be going back to Portugal or Spain.

Bernardo Silva is brilliant, and will probably remain so for another year or two.  But he's not coming here. My guess is it will be a big contract somewhere not particularly competitive. 

He's getting plenty of games at City, so if he wanted to continue playing at the top level, he'd probably stay there for another year, at least.  My guess is he's either doing one big mega-wages move to the middle-east, or he'll go back to Portugal for his family.

Shame, as he'd be a massive upgrade on Buendia.

Yup, great player, not coming here. My guess would be a couple of years at Juventus, finish with a couple of years at Benfica.
