Remember Utd just spemt £52mil on Fred whose a much lower profile player.

He would have also received a signing bonus + big wages.

Its a great deal for us...

Let's relax a bit and just enjoy the quality footballer we're getting in Bernard.

I was literally thinking the day before this broke “I wish we were in for this bloke” and suddenly we were, does this make me itk/the esk?

Played 29 games last year before he hurt his shoulder in March and missed the rest of the season.

6G/3A in 18 league games
3G in 8 Champions League games (they made it to the Round of 16)
1A in 1 league playoff game, I guess they have a second phase of the league like Scotland does
1G in 2 domestic cup games

They’re 2 completely different things mate

Really excited to this bloke play we’ve not had a player like this in such a long time almost a coutinho type someone who drifts between the lines pienaar was great at that but I think this fella will be even better

See lots of folks slotting him into midfield but it looks as if he's hardly played anywhere but the left wing. Will be interesting to see how Silva lines them up.

How’s the 72 hour medical going?

Any insiders down at FF or the local Spire give us an update plz

Seriously guys, lets be happy! This is the guy that Scolari described as having 'joy in his legs' because of his dribbling ability. And he's joining us..! Watch it once more, you know you want to!

Interesting to see which of him or Richarlison plays centrally (assuming Walcott on the right and lookman benched)

Think this is the player I have waited forsince Pienaar

No sarcasm. Genuinely hadn't read that. True or bs?

It's not YNWA, it's 'I never walk alone' something to do from when he was a kid, it was on a pendant from his parents or something

So where's he gonna play?

I think Tosun, Richarlison and Walcott get the nod as the attackers. Bernard is too good to sit on the bench so that pushes someone out of the number 10 and a midfielder (hopefully Schneid) to the bench.
