Bernardo Silva

Lol - ooh you tinker, not even close to a Clarkie here

More bites than I expected in the first 10 minutes, before you busted it.

Happy with the backlash though, shows there is sense our there. Particularly as parts of that are not actually that uncommon either.

Some awesome clarkie’s going on here this afternoon, can’t believe so many bites.

And that is fine, sell Bernardo, move on. If we can get around the £43m we paid for him, that will be good business. We should be happy with it, enough to cover the transfer fee we paid. Player wants out, no point keeping him. Palmer can replace him, or another academy kid. Take the money and the squad place.

Ok, I am just going to say it, this Palmer thing is getting crazy right now. We need to curb our expectations about this kid. In the Gabriel Jesus thread, posters think Palmer can replace him. In the Sterling thread, the posters there think Palmer is the answer, same thing in the FFS thread and now in the Bernie thread too? I am just wondering when someone would suggest Palmer as a good replacement for Eddie. I love the kid but can we dial it down a little bit? Palmer is not the answer to everything.

In reality we should be paying Barcelona to take him.

Sorry but this is the dumbest thing I read today

Bernie is a top five player in Europe. Crazy to sell him. Who can replace him?

Laporta agrees 100%

Spot fucking on. All that in addition to having already replaced Torres too.

That's the difference between the winners & losers in life. )(

Yep. Losers are the ones who treat games as if they are life and death.

Then someone genuinely dies and you realise how stupid that is.

Expectation may be getting giddy,but the reality is the kid is an awesome talent.He proved a standout in the EDS and he ripped it up for the National team,he also showed in glimpses.when given a chance,that he can very much hold his own in the Prem.

All he is missing is an opportunity,faith and ultimately experience.

While i fully understand caution,lets not also go down the opposite route and underestimate what he can be capable of.

All that may be true. The point is, he's no replacement for either Jesus or Sterling. He won't contribute the significant numbers of hoals and assists they do, and it is naive to expect that. Hope he does get more minutes and works his way gradually and steadily into the team, and has a future here. But not at the expense of having a player that can help win things now.
