Confirmed Signing Bernard

[Toffee in Jandals]

Not being funny, did he even have 1 day of training anywhere? He was a free agent I thought.

If he's a good professional, which I hope he is, surely he has been keeping himself fit the last couple of months. Obviously it's a different thing though to be match-fit.

Reckon this could turn out to be the best bit of business we've done since arteta/pienaar

I’m calling it now, he will be as good as if not better than both. I have never seen him play mind, but I have a feeling

 

[Tel001]

This. Bernard and Sigurdsson centrally with Gueye in DM, Richarlison and Walcott on the wings and Tosun up front, all sounds very sexciting..

Not a bad bench/reserve too in the midfield/attack positions with Andre Gomes, Davies, Dowell, Niasse, Calvert-Lewin, Lookman and of course, Schneidy.

Fixed

 

[Everton_Gary]

If he doesn't score a blammo by October he's a failure

I'm thinking he comes in off the bench against wolves and scores our third, his first blammo of many this season.

 

[Westend Blue]

Effing exciting about this fella this is the third time I’ve said it NEA

This is what I want to see - just like City set up. Gueye in the Fernandinho role, Bernard in the Silva role and Sigurdsson in the KDB role. Walcott = Sterling, Richarlison = Sane.

The above highlights how much better City are I suppose but it’s not really them we’re competing with at the moment. They finished so far ahead of everyone though that if we can get ourselves performing anything like they do it’ll be incredible.

I think the Steve Buscemi looking scamp is going to rip it up, go on Bernard son.

The problem is the giant gap in class between Gylfi and KdB and Bernard and Silva will make that system unplayable for us more or less. City get away with not being great defensively in midfield by never really giving the ball away. No shot we could pull that off

I really like the look of this kid. Great turn of pace, an eye for goal, can really spot a pass

 

[Manx Blue]

Could quickly become a fans favourite.

Can’t wait for Saturday!

Can’t wait for Saturday!

We'll know better by 19.15 (or 7.15 pm old money). So hope your optimism is well placed but it will be a heck of a first game as Wolves are on a crest and have also bought in some decent players so it is a difficult game to call.

 

[Boss Silva]

Could quickly become a fans favourite.

Can’t wait for Saturday!

Will not be involved

 

[Manx Blue]

Will not be involved

I mean as the season unfolds.

 

[Bluebonic]

Along with la magica, he just seems to have a joy of playing football. Hopefully Everton don't take that away from him.

I'm really hopeful for this guy, and hopeful the Goodison faithful understand the project this group has undertaken to right the ship (aka minimal to no booing the first month or so)

Dont’t let the Goodison crowd see that as a challenge mate! They destroy players almost casually, if they think they are being dared to do it, God help the poor lad!

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Is he predominantly a Left winger similar to Pienaar?
