he's basically a Space Interpreter
Could Anderson be a possible replacement
People isn't not staying to replace Bernardo lol he's leaving fr
Silva and Gundo and irreplacable.
his hair follicles are his biggest problem if we’re being honest
Answer is nico O’riely
Just get Bruno
The most difficult decision is how to replace Guardiola lol
Elliott Anderson
Nico orali ✋🏿
Silva reminds me of what MØ has become for arsenal. Both aren't G/A monsters but are quiet conductors of the game. Helping their respective teams unlock stubborn oppositions. I will caveat my point though by saying I respect Bernardo's levels ahead of Ødegaard in major honors and level of consistency. It just interests me when players are stylistically similar…
He needs Szoboszlai
A gamble that could payoff would be James Garner. But a more proven international player would be a safer option.
Cherki
Too early to call, but O'Reilly might be the one
O'Reily or Reijnders have potential….
I think foden will emulate silva's impact
Biggest influential player for Pep at City.
Thank you for everything Bernardo 🥺
I’m sure they’ll spunk a load more money on the best players in the world. 115.
Is Silva leaving this summer?
Eduard Spertsyan is the guy to replace him
He replaced Aguero, we'll be fine😂
Pep won’t be here to replace him
❤
David Silver is my favorite footballrr
And yet he underperforms for Portugal every single time.
Because Bernardo Silva inherited the role that previously David Silva had in City the question is – are there any short midfielders named Silva available? 😀
Did you see the animation for the like button?
Bernardo and david ….two silvas who are one of my favourites epl players of all time even as a united fan
He’s our legend ….we love you bernardiki 😿😭
Both are going , sad 😢
Bernardo Silva the box to box, regista and playmaker hybrid will be hard to replace
People overestimate this position – I say that playing it. Anyone can play it, whether you’re a good passer, have a good shot, quick or just have good stamina – they all work.
Foden can play this role – they won’t miss him that much, the role will just adapt.
Swiss army knife. These types of players are crucial in a team.
Cherki?
Silva must win major trophies with Portugal to be considered as elite
I feel foden can do the free man role….
I thought foden is going to be that guy when he was all over pitch in the first half of the season. Now he is dropped. Maybe nunez can do that role. He knows defence as well now
Alex Scott
Most underrated in Prem history
Hear me out, Phil Foden 🗣️
Diego Gomez would be a good shout. He's already developing a reputation within Brighton as a very hard working, roaming, goal threat
I think we jus move O'Reilly to mid full time cause he also is everywhere
He should buy Vitinha that would be an awesome replacement
One of the greatest Silvas of Man City
