Confirmed Signing Bernard

[Moham-17]

Won’t get my hopes up too much until I see him wearing an Everton jersey while signing the contract.

Exciting news though.

A 5ft 5ins Ukrainian League player - hope they have done their homework!

A 5'5" Champions league Brazilian International player.
I think they might just have done the homework.

I would think most have already scouted Brazilian national team players, although Bacchi doesn't seem to like him. He moved from Brazil for like 25M Euros, at the time, a top 5 all time fee to a Brazilian club. He's not exactly an unknown player, put it that way.

Maybe, but he never made the World Cup for a rather average Brazil squad. With any luck he will have a similar impact to that other might midget Juninho - but I am unsure he is close to that level. It is interesting they seem to be building a team that is more Latin than English.

The right people in the media seem to be backing this to happen. We've all been here before......... but this sounds promising.

Would love it to happen but it could be agent games

AC Milan will reportedly look to sell their players to finalize the signing of Bernard, who is very much intent on playing under Rino Gattuso next season.

We have previously reported that Bernard's entourage has already held a meeting with AC Milan about a possible move to the San Siro and both parties are positive about doing a deal for the winger.

Gazzetta dello Sport say that Leonardo will first look to sell the duo of Nikola Kalinic and Carlos Bacca before finalize a move for Bernard, for whom the competition is already increasing.

Inter have informed the player to wait and not hasten about a move to Milan as they themselves are preparing an offer.

Leonardo is convinced that the Brazilian will sign for the rossoneri, despite interest from Chelsea as well. And the club already has a rough agreement with the player and will hand a wage of 3 million euros a season, out of which 2 million euros will go the agents."

But he did mate, in 2014. Even if he didn't, there are loads of very good Brazillian football players around who don't have a national cap to their name.

Well, given that Sandro is reportedly on 100,000 a week, if it comes down to wages, we're gonna win hands down.

I hope we aren't holding it against him for making the national team at age 21 and actually getting into games because they only made the semis and got crushed by Germany.

I'm sure someone will assume he's crap coz he played in the 1-7 semi.

We’ll be drinking caipirinhas at half time instead of pints at this rate

Hopefully in Brazilian measures (1/4 bottle of cachaca per drink)

 

[carlos NSNO]

He can't defend in central midfield, how the heck is going to play CB?

neither could jagielka that's why he got moved to CB and done a decent job

He also got moved to CB because he was fast and strong. Morgan is neither and can't mark anyone in space or in the box. He'd be a terrible CB.
