2020/21 Bernard

[Goat]

Yet Bernard has out produced him in 2 of the 3 seasons they’ve been at the club together

Both had 5 goal contributions last season.
The season before Iceland had 19, Bernard had 4.
Both have 1 this season.

It’s essentially the same though isn’t it, one scored more goals than the other, but was not the better player.

Pienaar and Baines was what kept us competitive all those years. Its not the same at all. Bernard hasn't been effective at any time he's been here.

He's just one of a long list of players who need to be moved on eventually and upgraded.

I’m not saying Bernard is as good as Pienaar at all, I’m just saying goal tally alone isn’t always a fair justification of who is a better footballer. At times, Bernard has definitely been more effective than Sigurdsson in terms of freeing up Digne and linking the attack to the midfield. He wasn’t helped by being shoehorned onto the left hand side of a flat Burnley-style midfield 4 last season though.

He played almost half the minutes last season and a quarter this compares to the Icelandic fraud, so per minute he absolutely rags the ferret everywhere, goals/assist/chances created/forward passes/dribbles/likability/tattoos

“We tried to convince Everton to let him go, but the club wouldn’t agree even to a loan,” agent Adriano Spadoto told LaRoma24.it.

“I think we will try again in January and a definitive deal could be done for circa €7m.”

Decent option for his position in the squad; we're hopefully fighting on three fronts for the majority of the season so we'll need him. I fully expect that we trade up again in the summer. There always have to be back-up players who make a positive contribution to the squad without being disruptive.

7million for a loan is good business

 

[Blue Shoes]

7million for a loan is good business

Surely that's for a perm, that would be an insane fee for a loan.

 

[Eggs]

....I think he means £7m for a permanent deal.

Buy josh king Now and Sell him in January.

You 'd replace Bernard with Josh King???????

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Letting a player of Bernard's obvious quality leave for 7M would be a travesty right up there with appointing Big Fat Sam. We are not that stupid and not that skint.
