Duarte Bernard

[Wick3d]

My piece of advice to the club, just buy him. If not, for the love of god move on quickly and lets pray you don't live to regret it.

Isn't he similar to a couple of players Arsenal already have i.e. Rosiky/The tricky spanish chap (i need to watch more football) don't really understand why Arsenal would need him.

Rosicky is crap and more of a central player, Cazorla is quality but Bernard and him would compliment each other well as they can both play right across the 3 attacking mid positions

reckon Bernard will cost close to 30 million euros tbh as Neymar just went for 57 mil

rosicky certainly isn't crap, he just can't stay fit.

Wasn't Rosicky pretty decent last year, i remember them struggling a little when he was out of the team? Well i guess we will have to see how this one pans out, Arsenal seem to be bidding but not sure if they really want them (30 million for Suarez when they probably knew that wasn't gonna happen at that price).

Edit: bidding to appease fans!

I'd say Rosicky got them 4th place last year and on his day is one of the best midfielders in the premiership. is it a coincidence they went on a ridiculous streak of no losses when rosicky came back into fitness? i don't think so

Do you want to actually try making a logical point rather than just disagreeing with me and writing 'rosicky is crap'. You clearly either don't have a clue or are too childish to admit an Arsenal player is good

people go on about wilshere all the time but he's a pretty harmless footballer currently. i don't think it was a coincidence that when wilshere was injured and rosicky replaced him, arsenal couldn't stop winning, he has far more tools to hurt the opposition.

Correct. Rosicky was amazing for them at the end of last season.

 

[samsonlevi]

Just to remind you guys.... This is a Bernard thread, not Rosicky!!!

P.S he's not crap (Rosicky) but he is getting on a little and as much as I would HATE it Bernard must be a player that interests a lot of clubs us and arsenal included!!

 

[Rogmeister]

I'd be gutted if arsenal get him. I really don't think we have a chance and would much rather see him go elsewhere.

This fella could be something else in a couple of years. Very exciting prospect

 

[Barry Mead]

When did you try to explain to me in more detail? Your reply had one line in it going on about how I thought I was an expert.

I don't know about you but I sure am confused now. Enjoy the rest of the sunny Friday mate and I'll go back to browsing/lurking

Sorry, don't let me put you off posting, football is all about opinions and message boards are there for people to voice them, I just thought you hadn't understood the point I was making looking at your initial response. no harm done, besides I'm used to people disagreeing with me I've been married over 30 years

Nah, I just tend not to comment much anyway, I usually just like to have a browse on here to see whether there's any developments on us signing players.

Well, Barry: seems like you have been creating a bit of a stir around here.... too much sangria and sun, old boy!!

Not that you need me to defend you in any way, but maybe it is a good time to roll out this article of the future of football trends and formations - again people can disagree with it but I think it does make interesting reading, especially if one takes into account that it is proposed by a World Cup winning coach.

Maybe AVB is heading towards a fluid 4 ahead of 2 defensive???? i.e. 4-2-4-0 as a 4-6-0 hybrid, especially with the athletic strong runners we'll have (if all fit) in midfield??

One of the early differing voices made a valid point on players getting in each others' way: I'd agree EXCEPT the players we seem to heading towards are not the dumb English (sorry) lacking technique players of the past (with notable exceptions - you know who they are), especially if we get Bernard (I'd rather spunk £20m on him than Benteke: can't comment on Lamela (sp) as never seen him).

 

[thfc1989]

Have we actually been linked to him recently?

Levy's dream formation me thinks

Nothing concrete, but he's a Brazilian playmaker, so people want to believe...

 

[easley91]

I thought we either made a bid, or a proposal. Might have just been ITK though.

 

[Twizzle]

so we're after a wide attacking player according to the goat

this could be the man fingers crossed
