Listen I know it's the Chavs so we never know but I really can't see them making yet another advanced attacker signing. They are signing Schurrle too don't forget.

Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Moses, Schurrle, Marin. Add Bernard and that's way too much.

Still it could be Shitty or Liverpool who's 'close'. Please let it be us.

It could very well be them neighbours as well. I'm sure Wenger is very keen on this boy.

I hate to dampen the mood, but it seems these days very little happens in the way of player interest without a single ITK knowing about it. The fact that we have had nothing on him from a reliable source is a bit worrying, is it not?

Not really, ITK's are not omnipotent, there can be deals ongoing that they never catch wind of early.

Sick to death of all these super rich clubs, won't be long til they all fuck off and form a new league

 

[etchedchaos]

So the Atletico equivalent of Ben says City then? Did he see a City representative from up in a tree by the training ground?

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

They don't even have a frigging manager!

Bernard Right On?

 

[moomin]

What a joyous day that will be. The quality will drop a little but we can get back to watching some proper footy between football clubs again. Let the super rich become franchises, lose their soul, and play historically non-existent fixtures between each other ad nauseum. The novelty will wear off quicker than they and the advertisers imagine. Good luck being a fan of one of those teams unarl. Think travelling to away games is expensive now...

 

[gibbospurs]

Well why the fuck are we not in for him??

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Off topic, anyone still remember Lee Bernard ?

It would be lovely but your bolded part is what I think we all know is actually happening. He'll be on the bench of citeh or chel$ki soon enough.

Here's the original link, translated from Portuguese. I have no idea how trustworthy UOL Esporte is, they could just be a Brazilian talksport for all I know. Maybe brazilyid could fill us in.


In the crosshairs of European clubs, Bernard can leave Atletico in the middle of the year

Bernardo Lacerda
Main revelation of Atlético-MG in recent years, the attacking midfielder Bernard returned to the agenda of international transfer.Apart from Borussia Dortmund, who shows interest in the young athlete, the England football may be the fate of the player, more specifically Tottenham.
According to UOL Sport found, Tottenham are interested in hiring Bernard, by appointment of coach Andre Villas Boas. The English club, which also target Leandro Damiao of Internacional, has begun talks with representatives of the athlete.
People linked to the entrepreneur Giuliano Bertolucci, who guides the career of Bernard in Europe, as already give certain output Bernard in the middle of the season, after the Libertadores, when the European transfer window opens.



Brazilian press are also reporting that Dortmund had a 15m euro bid rejected, and that other clubs including Porto are interested. They expect Bernard to go soon though.

Still trying to forget him. The Kane of his day. We always have a good yoof striker who quickly fades into the Charlton or Brentford ranks.

The way things are going FFP's gonna turn into all out war, either the bankrolled clubs start a law suit when they're penalised or clubs such as ourselves start one when the bankrolled clubs aren't penalised, really wouldn't suprise me to see a breakaway league

 

[PrettyColors]

I'm not fussed. Well, I am fussed by him, the player, I'm extremely excited.

But considering we're against Dortmund, City, etc., teams who have more money and CL, there is no point to getting our hopes up.

Someone has to be the Wigan Athletic of the superleague I guess.
