Can check my posts from years ago to see us was not a fan of Bernard or him making it in this league mate, but the lad his last two seasons at Donetsk really nature's physically and workrate etc to change my opinion on him hugely before we ever signed him.

Ultimately he's not gonna wrack up loads of goals, neither did Pienaar though remember, but what the lad does do us interlink play brilliantly and much like with Pienaar the players around him improve when he's in the team.

Think about Digne, looked decent early season, then exceptional since then - guarantee if you stuck a Walcott or Lookman ahead of him he'd not look as good.

Bernards weakness, is he's a forward player who doesn't score many, which if the rest of the forwards are scoring at a better rate, is fine having one who plays that "greater role" in making the system feel better, when you have three out of four not scoring though, on top of zero goal threat from centre mid, then it starts to look an issue.
Get in a good striker, another goalscoring attacking mid/winger, and Bernards lack of a goal threat doesn't matter as his general play more than makes up for it.

As for Mina, I like him, like the guys attitude, like that he's a big physical unit, without being slow or having g any obvious weakness,, but he's also decent on the ball which we have lacked in the side, is he the finished article - nope, still makes some mistakes but let's remember, the lad is still young and at the top level pretty inexperienced.

Also think he needs to ultimately play on that right side - not the left, keep Keane as the backup, get in a starting left cb who compliments Mina - think Zouma was brought in initially exactly for that, but Minas injury and Keane finding a form no one expected has complicated the choice.

Pretty much agree with all you've said here mate but especially the bolded part, having an intelligent footballer ahead of him allows Digne to push further up the field, some of the triangles played between Gomes and Bernard/ Digne is clever intricate play, drawing players out to slip Lucas into a crossing position.

I dont buy Bernard as a wide man. I think he's more of a floating attacking midfielder who can cause damage in a free role. His chances are crowded out by Sigurdsson being here in terms of that possibility. He could be our Coutinho, IMO. I could see him working out in a diamond formation.

We cant offer trophies, and those two are young and ambitious and would have their heads turned easily enough.

Enjoy them while you can.

So any thoughts on a possible balotelli move in January?

Nice President confirmed they will not renew his contract and balotelli previously stated his desire to return to the prem.

Not pretending to know Marco’s preferred striker type but he is fast, physical, good in the air, proven scorer in the prem, creative on the ball, and can distribute equally as well.

Balotelli... proven scorer in the prem... like 1 goal in 16 for the RS?

No thanks not the player we need.
