i didnt even though there was a river plate in uruguay, or know what river plate was til someone stuck a map of it up the other day.

i will judge him on what he does on the pitch though so hopefully he is less forlan and more suarez for us

If he's Forlan post United... Christ I'd be walking around with a boner permanently.

hoping rodriguez can be another chicarito type player. that was one out of the blue for united and a great poacher.

Bernard must be a joke. Isn´t it???

 

[Hibbertinho]

Its a football team not a theme park, who cares how tall he is or isnt. Bernard is a quality player and would be a great addition but I would still much rather sign Yarmolenko.

Don't you want a ride on the Yarmolenko?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Looks like he has two good feet, quite quick, but I don't see him threading balls through for Lukaku.
Also his goal and assist return for the Ukranian league is very concerning for an attacking player.

Agreed, it's very concerning at best. We can't seriously be after him for the price it would take, given his return, or lack thereof.

Read this this morning. Don't know if it's been posted already....

• Everton want Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian playmaker Bernard after ending their pursuit of Andriy Yarmolenko.

Quoted in the 'paper talk' section of skysports....
0How did the Yarmolenko deal break down? I though we were close to that.

Wow your so 12 hours ago

As some have said, Bernard isn't exactly a playmaker. He's a pacey winger who gets in behind teams to score or assist, but doesn't create many chances per say.

yeah... we were sort of there 15-20 pages back around yesterday teatime.

you might need some fresh plutonium for your DeLorean, it seems to be playing up a bit.

Nah, my new flux capacitor is on order from Amazon. Got free delivery with self-lacing shoes!

Rodriguez is exactly the type of low quality import that the FA and Home Office want to stop from coming to our league.

Unless this lad has a European passport there's no way he's getting a work permit

 

[BlueToff]

Josip Ilicic was superb yesterday for Fiorenitna. Remember we were linked to him a few years back. Not gonna happen but he really impressed me. Shows that Yarmolenko would work as a playmamker as well I think.

He's half-Italian by all accounts.

Can we just buy Quintero already...

He's a bit of a freak player, can do everything; long shots, strong, tall, skillful, vision, playmaking. I was really impressed with him in that game against England.

 

[jazzy]

I suspect that at the end of the window we are going to be very , very disappointed.

Got a horrible feeling that the Argentinian lad will fail to get a work permit and that we will end up with just Leandro Rodriguez ( come on has anyone ever heard of him ? ) , Evans and Lennon.

It really wouldn't suprise me , despite all the protestations if we sold Stones on TDD>
