Confirmed Signing Bernard

[N.S.N.O.]

Tim Vickery on Talksport before basically slating Bernard for his attitude at Shakhtar and “hopes” Yerry Mina succeeds at Everton because he’s not the greatest.....

Noticed they also mentioned how Bernard replaced Neymar in the world cup 4 years ago against Germany "and look how that turned out"..... As if that result was Bernard's fault.... Amazing how the media downplay a Brazilian when we sign him, but jizz over every other Brazilian signed by other clubs..

David Silva?

Yep, christ if he's even a quarter as good as Silva we're laughing...

Vickery is never shy to admit when he gets one wrong - he even acknowledged that Funes Mori was better than expected, though Vickery was still ultimately more right than wrong in that case.

Always seemed a bit ridiculous to be accusing journos of deep state anti-Everton conspiracy for being insufficiently Fox News in hyping up our prospective signings, given the way some of us talk about our actual longstanding contributors like Jags or Baines around here....

As for Bernard's attitude at Shaktar, I suspect the ongoing civil war/covert insurrection/forcible exile of the entire team may have ruffled feathers in the dressing room

Wait until he has his first pint in Arena square

Vickery was bigging up Mina actually but yes there are double standards.

Even a quarter in height and ability it'd still be an improvement. Good a good feeling about this one......if it comes off.

Actually had good things to say about Mina... conceded he was raw and looked a little clumsy at times but thought he was well-suited to Prem and a good signing. Seemed less convinced about Bernard, his attitude and that he might be a bit lightweight for English football. Didn't question his talent. Remember him saying similar things about Coutinho when Liverpool first signed him!!!

What is his attitude like? Lazy? Doesn’t turn up for training? What did he say exactly?

I’m so excited about this signing, it has made me fall back in love with the blues after hating them under Big Fat Sam.

Can't get my head around us signing a £50m player on a free. It's the least Everton thing I've ever heard.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

A player that understands the concept of pass and MOVE.

Our fans will love him because he's always on the move - something we've been lacking in our attack for too long.

He is at that level? Wow.

Vickery's opinion is solely based on who the buying club are, not who the player is. It's a pattern with him over and over again.

You can safely disregard everything he says.

You would think a serious Football journalist would think that right?.... But no, he's rubbish apparently...

 

[FTY]

He is at that level? Wow.

Shakhtar signed him for 40m a few years ago, and that was before the market went weird

Cripes. And we get him on a free?
