Confirmed Signing Bernard

[N.S.N.O.]

Some Brazilian site has just tweeted that he'll have a €45m release clause.

Prefer he didn't, but I guess on a free transfer, can't complain

Even if he has a release clause, rather get him on a free with us getting 45m down the line than not getting him at all.

If someone is willing to pay £45m for him then he’ll have been a success. £45m profit and some good performances I’ll take all day long.

Release clause wouldnt be ideal
But ok thats football

Had to be a catch somewhere.... Probably getting a 20m signing on fee, and 10m a year in wages....

Still worth it if we get 1 great season out of him...also makes us a more attractive option for other transfer targets this week..

And replace Tosun? I think Tosun will surprise a few this season. He's not the quickest but he's strong and knows how to finish.

I like Tosun. I just think Richarlison has everything in his make up to be a possible revelation up front.

Imagine how many goals that front 4 will score against our defence in training

Doubt he will have a release clause.

A signing to get really excited about if it comes off

Hilarious so many people are worried where he’ll play, who will miss out etc... it’s called strength in depth, competition for places and options off the bench to change games - something we have been missing for years.

Just need the same now in defence and holding midfield and it may just get a bit fun being a Toffee again

Not ideal if he has 45m release clause. But if he's on a free he held all the cards. I reckon it's nonsense tho. Think this lad will bring something completely different to the table that we desperately needed.

My pants just got a lot tighter...phwoar

Always thought up to about two years ago he was too lightweight and inconsistent for this league, the past two seasons though after texeria (so) left he massively imprived both physically and in consistency
Great signing tbf.

Maybe we are going old school and playing 5 up front, 3 midfielders and 2 full backs.

Thus avoiding the carnage that is buying central defenders at this moment in time

No idea

Nice to have a bit of flair back after Koeman did his best to rid us of any exciting players.
