[Nymzee]

Have not done one for a while. Might do one later

Welcome Kenwyne Jones

Nice.

Could also say 25 year old Brazilian international. But if you choose to focus on the pessimistic that’s up to you.

True - with any luck he will be more Juninho than Rafael Scheidt!

Of all the great Brazillian players there have been...Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho etc, names instantly recognised for greatness...we get Bernard...I mean, seriously? Why don't we go all out & see if Terrence is available too!

You could call him Bernardo, if it makes you feel better

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Daily Mail certainly sounds confident.

"Everton have signed exciting Brazilian forward Bernard after holding off interest from at home and abroad.
The deal will be announced on Tuesday, subject to a work permit, with Bernard due for a medical on Merseyside.
The free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk is seen as a coup for Goodison Park manager Marco Silva, whose personal intervention swung the deal Everton's way".

Wait until we sign two of Brazil's best - Elton and John.

With Dickov just behind them in the hole....

At least it’s better than Fred.

After having slept on it, I dont think this rumor is true.

 

[mawders]

The exciting thing of the arrival of Bernard is that it allows Sigurdsson to play a deeper role
...so that Schneiderlin can be benched

It won't though. He'll be the single holding midfielder

If this falls through then this site and evertonians worldwide would literally implode. In fact I reckon there would be a purge of some kind. Hopefully we took lessons from muller all those years ago

Too many media outlets have reported this not for there to be genuine legs.

But it’s Everton we’re talking about so will just wait and see.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

So, an inch shorter than Inchy?

Acc to Wiki, yes.

 

[Groucho]

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

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

Just "Bernard" mate

The fly in the ointment is how close we are to the close of the window. Hopefully it won’t have a bearing.

Heating he will only move here if his best pal Mina does.
