Nah, he's Portugese. He's looked good any time I've seen him, but it's the French league and I'm not sure how many of our problems he would be the answer to. Not seen enough of him to properly judge. He's a beast on Football Manager though if that helps.Is this the guy who played for Brazil in the WC? If so, then my brief assesment would be no thanks
No, Bernardo Silva is Portuguese and plays for Monaco, Bernard is the Brazilian playerIs this the guy who played for Brazil in the WC? If so, then my brief assesment would be no thanks
He's played about 25/44 games as a RW this season to be fair. The rest being LW and as a #10. I genuinely think playing on the right is the best role for him. He's pretty quick too unlike Mata and he's very positive on the ball, always dribbling at defences, he doesn't really pass it back. I think his workrate is good too which is why Mourinho would like him.Reminds me a lot more of David Silva actually. But again, he's more of a No 10 isn't he ? We need a fast RW and Silva isn't fast. But he's definitely a great talent though. Him and Rafa Silva are great talents. I prefer Rafa Silva and playing him in midfield.
Silva isn't slow, I don't know why people think that he is.I guess Sky won't need to do slow motion replays in our games next season, our play will be in slow motion all the time.
Zlatan
Silva Rooney Mata
Carrick Schweini
And a version actually able to dribble. Last year I dismissed the fact that he could be bullied in the PL, but people were probably right, that's a worry.He's a quicker Version of Mata. Very talented player indeed.
The lovechild of Mata and Mats Hummels
He could be sold for the same price than Carrasco since they are in the same situation, clearly talented but not a key player for Monaco.Also, he signed an additional 1 year extension to his 4 year contract last Summer.
Hope we don't get mugged off but he's certainly worth pursuing.
I'm assuming this is a low fee. How good can he be, potentially, if he does adapt to the physical aspect of the PL?He could be sold for the same price than Carrasco since they are in the same situation, clearly talented but not a key player for Monaco.
I didn't compare him to Mata.. . I said he reminded me of David Silva. Well he's not slow, but he's not got any real threatening pace either. He's about Januzaj's level (But Januzaj has great acceleration). But yeah, there is a genuine shortage of quality RW right now. Dembele looks the most promising, but if we don't get him, someone Like Bernardo Silva would make sense.He's played about 25/44 games as a RW this season to be fair. The rest being LW and as a #10.

Don't understand the Mata comparisons, he's closer to Sterling than Mata...
Bernardo is a bastard to defend against (something we've lacked), he's so tricky on the ball, a terrier if you will... Personally would love us to sign him.
Only issue is he's light as feck, I'm worried that a breeze in Manchester would send the guy flying. David Silva is a great comparison to what he should be working towards, when David excelled in their inverted 4-4-2 in Pellegrini's first season. Was really expecting him to push further after how well he did in the U21 Euros.
I'd also ideally prefer someone more in the Dembele/Sale/Coman mould who combines pace and power well.I didn't compare him to Mata.. . I said he reminded me of David Silva.

Carrasco has been sold for 17m€. If he adapts, he could be as good as someone like David Silva but he has been underwhelming this season. Now I like him so I don't know if I'm being harsh or if I'm overrating him, I think that he is more talented than Carrasco or Lemar, talent-wise he is on par with James Rodriguez.I'm assuming this is a low fee. How good can he be, potentially, if he does adapt to the physical aspect of the PL?
Wow, this sounds like a no-brainer to me, for that sort of fee. In terms of technical ability he does look fantastic. Did him and Martial have a good understanding?Carrasco has been sold for 17m€.

Would be fantastic if we manage to make a deal like that.He could be sold for the same price than Carrasco since they are in the same situation, clearly talented but not a key player for Monaco.
Not particularly, they are both comfortable with everyone.Wow, this sounds like a no-brainer to me, for that sort of fee. In terms of technical ability he does look fantastic. Did him and Martial have a good understanding?

Would be an upgrade on Mata if we signed him.And a version actually able to dribble. Last year I dismissed the fact that he could be bullied in the PL, but people were probably right, that's a worry.
That's not saying much at all.Would be an upgrade on Mata if we signed him.
