Confirmed Signing Bernard

[dholliday]

Not a mention of bill this summer either, goes to show don't it.

So finally we have a replacement for Pienaar?

Left sided attacking mid/winger.

I’d say we’ve finally replaced Arteta

Waiting for that swoop now. Been here before with Fernandes.

Never again will I get sucked in.

Has to be played in the middle surely? à la Arteta.

Wonder if Tosun will be moved to the bench? Silva has said he likes to have a front three that can each play multiple positions. Bernard can play on both wings, Walcott can play striker and Richy can play all three. Would be interesting to see where Bernard fits. Have been wanting to see how Walcott would do down the middle for a while.

I very much doubt this would have happened without Brands and Silva. Got to give them credit where it is due. Major coup imo and a huge upgrade from Bolasie who will be gone in the next few days hopefully.

Perhaps as @micknick suggested, with Richarlison we’ve replaced both?

This is how I like my signings.

Had this been publicised like our other transfers and targets this summer, hearing that it's this close to being done would be naught more than just relief from about 5 weeks of "negotiations".

Having something come out of the blue like this and be basically done feels much more satisfying.

The number 8 we’ve been wanting

Wish I could just enjoy this news. I can’t help but feel like it’s going to fall through.

Yes. This lad has got a similar feeling about him, for me. Very technically capable.

 

[eurosrees]

Ffs - Everton that.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Trying to wrap my brain around how the Scouse would pronounce his name.

BEH-nod?
bur-NEH?
bum-DAH?
