He’s a Tommy tuck in just like rodders!
i rather have this than lose Bernardo to Barcelona for the money we could never see in the bank accounts.Neves would be twice the price of Nunes but come with less international experience, limited Champions League experience, and having never played in England. We could also have bought him last summer for less than we spent. As such, I can only see our interest being genuine if it involves Bernardo heading in that direction, which I hope is not the case.
If Bernardo leaves this summer, it will be because someone has stumped up the cash, and then we can use that money towards getting the players we need. As I’ve said elsewhere, close to €60 million for a 30-year-old is a tough stretch for teams on the continent. Neves is a fine prospect but not one who would immediately lighten Rodri’s workload or replace what Bernardo brings, so if he’s coming to England, it might not be to us.i rather have this than lose Bernardo to Barcelona for the money we could never see in the bank accounts.

The last two seasons have seen us tread water in terms of centre midfield, and that’s being generous, so it would be folly to pin our hopes on one so young and inexperienced. The games away to Arsenal and Liverpool showed what can happen when the midfield is overrun, so Guimaraes and Paqueta make sense.i think the club long term would want Neves but it seems according to Tolmie that Pep wants Bruno?
