I really want us to sign Bernard - he looks amazing and is another classy signing to pull off.
However, I (and I am probably in a very small minority here) would like us to sign Damiao. There, I said it.
When we were linked with him in the past, I loved the idea of us signing a Brazilian striker - now that we have a Brazilian midfield pairing, that desire is even stronger. Imagine if we got Damiao AND Bernard? What if Gomes recovers his form? We could have 5 Brazilians in our starting line-up... Then, if we accept Bale is leaving next summer, we do a swap for Neymar, Under Armour do a yellow and green away kit - forget "it's just like watching Brazil" - we would have most of the team playing for us. Just a few more players to sign at that point to complete the master plan... We could keep enough English players in the squad to satisfy the rules but never play them ... Mwah ha ha ha ha ... Oh, time for my mess.
I would also be happy to sign Leandro; just because we have been messed about by his club does not make him a bad player. I guess I would be happy if we just heard we'd signed him rather than another long protracted negotiation.
