2020/21 Bernard

[DanEFC92]

We have 30 players in the squad and no European games

There's so much tosh that needs punting ahead of him.

True but he is more puntable than most of the deadwood

[jimmythenut]

Isn't he on 100k per week also. Plays 1 in 3. Gordon, Iwobi and Richarlison all play down the left. Plus Nkounkou.

Rarely see him in a central role because he's not strong enough. Love the guy, absolutely class on his day, but maybe a move is good for him.

Probably but gomes and Allan were missing on Saturday and Richarlison couldn't finish the game and he didn't get a kick.
Handy enough player to have in the squad but he doesn't contribute enough for the wage he's on.

 

[dutchblue54]

we are going off a Talksport link ? unless this romano fella or King are more concrete it is a rumour for me

 

[thorney33]

He’s worth keeping around, in theory.

But not on the huge wages he’s on. Cya lad.

Bernard off to Roma???

According to Talksport.

We take El Shaaraway on loan then pls. thanks

 

[orly]

Is he replacing Justin Kluivert then?

I am miserable about this ffs

 

[Kever10]

Another who can leave but only if we get an attacking option in

Letting 2 go without a replacement is strange

Letting 3 go without a replacement is just daft

Carlo did say the squad was too big, and we've signed Godfrey since then. Walcott and Bernard are 2 of our top earners and don't look to be close to being picked. They are both capable of doing some good things and also of being completely anonymous.

Kean is the surprise out of the 3 for me, but maybe he thinks since we can't shift Tosun, who won't be fit until after deadline, he can be the back up for DCL until January, along with Simms.

I'd still like 1 attacker who gives us options out wide as well as up front, whether that be Zaha, King, Lozano or a n other. Maybe he thinks Gordon and Iwobi are enough?

I think there is still time to see some more movement, both ins and outs.

 

[andy4efc]

Like Walcott he doesn't play/contribute enough to justify his huge wage.

Correct, Bernard has ability, but clearly CA doesn't fancy him and understandably as Bernard has no consistency at all.

I for one, if he goes hope he goes and finds his feet at Roma.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Do we realise we need more than the first XI? I don't get it yanno.

Richarlison, Gordon, Iwobi, James for two spots. Gylfi can start wide in an emergency I guess plus it frees up wages to do something in January or whatever.

If we are relying on Bernard and/or Walcott to play things have gone very awry already.

 

[sdk]

When you pry him from my cold, dead hands.

 

[paulbefc]

He's one of the top earners at the club isn't he?

If he's not starting games (or even getting on the pitch) without injuries, I don't think we can justify keeping him.

It's kind of looked like Ancelotti hasn't rated him particularly highly from the start.

I refuse to believe we could be letting this many forwards go without a really decent sized name coming in though.

Bernard off to Roma???

According to Talksport.

Or at least talkcrap.

Or at least I don't want to believe it.
