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.

I think he has being going back to Portugal since 6 months after he arrived.

Silva would be the perfect tactical fit for us but there isn't a chance of him signing for us. Barca will probably find a way to squeeze him into their squad on the final day of transfer window.

Funny how we all see the game different - yes he is a brilliant player but it boils my piss that every time he has the ball in forward positions he never crosses it but instead chops inside then outside, then inside then lays it off

He does it that much Matty Cash must have a boner watching him

I suppose six-time league winner and one-time Champions League winner Bernardo Silva should've focused more energy on Whipping It In.

Annoys me that Erling Haaland steadfastly refuses to charge into the goalkeeper when he has the ball in his hands. It's almost like the game has changed in the last eighty years.

A bit like Gilberto Silva his namesake - you know they are very good players but nobody knows what they do.

If Bernardo Silva wanted to stay in England, he'd just stay at Man City.

They don't want to lose him, he just wants to move to sunnier climes.

Isn't Birmingham further south than Manchester, and less rainy?

Lisbon has more rain than Birmingham 28.6 inches vs 26.8 inches, only difference is the number of days it rains, 77 vs 125. (Manchester 365).

I have never thought he would come here, just had to question the Stevie Wonders on here.

That’s two games I’ve seen Rowe play now (don’t really remember him in the group game) - one brilliant and one not so much. Might be good, but wouldn’t put him in the “definitely sign” category.

Maybe. The way Bologna set up didn't favour him.
