are Chelsea retarded? I know he had 2 years left on his loan or something that they couldn't recall him back from but 20m seems pretty cheap. Jabroni's like Coman went for that price. I mean I guess he would have been 30 by the time they could recall him so they gave up.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon May 22, 2017 10:25 pm

Cuadrado was adamant he wanted to gtfo of chelsea, he would have been a dud

That's what happens when you buy a player who's really similar to the one you already have and don't play him just as he's hitting his peak

Retarded move, which I said back when it happened.

Who needs Cuadrado when you have good Nigerian lad Moses.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon May 22, 2017 10:28 pm

Feel bad for Conte

Wanted Cuadrado's dick, was linked to him every Year at Juve. Cuad ends up at Chelsea and as soon as Conte inherits his dream RWB/RM combo player at Chelsea he pushes as hard as he can for a move to Juve of all places, so much so that they loan him out for 14 years rofl

Conte like that obsessed ex boyfriend. She's not into you bruh.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has made Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante his No.1 transfer target, according to Don Balon .

The Blancos boss has been unimpressed with Casemiro's performances in recent weeks and sees Kante as an upgrade in central midfield.

Zidane has already spoken to president Florentino Perez regarding making a bid for France international Kante.

wtf is Don Balon, I always see it quoted this season and it usually smells like BS, they come off as the Spanish equivalent of The Sun. ~~Obviously not happening but I thought it might get a rise out of Kick/Blue Barrett so worth a punt.~~

Manchester United ‘make offer that cannot be refused’ for 22-year-old Ligue 1 star

The more we edge towards the transfer window, the more Bernardo Silva appears to edge towards Manchester United.

It all started back in February when Le10 Sport strongly suggested that José Mourinho’s club had pre-agreed some kind of deal with Monaco, rumoured to be around €50m, and the story never really left.

Canal+ recently claimed, after the principality club lifted the Ligue 1 trophy, that the player was ‘very likely’ to join Manchester United in the summer, and now France Football have joined the party.

In their weekly edition, the French magazine look at 11 players likely to leave the league in the summer, which includes Bernardo Silva because ‘Manchester United have apparently made an offer that cannot be refused’.

top 3 most wanted signing for us this summer

just need to sign Belotti or Mbappe and Naingol now

any good LB's kicking about? legit no idea who we should be looking at

I'm going to be seriously jealous if you sign Bernardo. That's the one we should be getting, not Alexis.

by CBarca Mon May 22, 2017 10:40 pm

Has anyone here watched Bernardo outside of a couple CL games?

Alexis is unreal. I'd rather have him than this Bernardo fella.

by Firenze Mon May 22, 2017 10:43 pm

completely different players anyway

Sanchez is basically a pure striker in my eyes nowadays with a decent short passing game

Bernardo is Juan Mata on steroids, with pace and versatility

I haven't watched him in Ligue 1 but I've heard enough and dem FIFA stats don't lie tbh

by Hapless_Hans Mon May 22, 2017 10:45 pm

I've wanted Bernardo ever since @farfan dubbed him the next Portuguese superstar

back in the days, Don Balon was a highly reputable spanish editorial printing high quality pieces about spanish football, there reputation was very high, but they went into bankrupcy or someone.

It came back recently in name only, and it's just another catalan influenced piece of journalistic shite that makes up stories about Madrid to get clicks.

waste of time, they have as much credibility as Alba's diving

He's legit awesome on PES which is about as good as watching real life games IMO.

by Arquitecto Mon May 22, 2017 11:07 pm

Bernardo is as you see him CB but is known to be a big game flop and doesn't cut it well versus the bigger defences. A title I sadly see lasting with him for long given some teams know his glaring weaknesses.

by Casciavit Mon May 22, 2017 11:23 pm

Bernardo is like a quicker David Silva with more flair. He'd be a great signing for any team.

by Mr Nick09 Mon May 22, 2017 11:31 pm

quicker David Silva with more flair is Iniesta or a midfielder that would have dominated football for a decade.

Sorry but Bernardo Silva is not that. He is a quality player though, just careful about the comparisons and what you expect from him

by Casciavit Mon May 22, 2017 11:32 pm

I'm speaking stylistically. Obviously he isn't at that level to dominate matches like those players.

would that mean the end of mata if you sign him. mata is to good for your bench

by sportsczy Mon May 22, 2017 11:44 pm

French U20 international Amine Harit (that I keep telling you guys about; he plays for Nantes and is a beast)... is expected to get offers from Arsenal and Liverpool. After the U20 WC that's going on right now, you will probably see everyone else jump in.

I still hold hope that Monaco can get him.

yes

Mata is my favorite player for us but he's quite inconsistent but like you say, too good for our bench

I fully expect him to move on this Summer

Brilliant start to the window if thats true.

A quality holding midfielder for the next decade.

Isn't he going to be a right back? considering that's his natural position anyway and it's a pretty massive need for you.

Huge need but i think Pep wants Kyle Walker at full back with Fabinho playing an anchor role in midfield. The fact Fabinho is so versatile is a big factor as well.

by Mr Nick09 Tue May 23, 2017 12:10 am

fabinho is not an anchor though, he is nothing like the type of DM pep loves.

This kid still pretty good then?

Because I recall hearing a lot about him, still do here and there (didn't he score vs Arsenal or something?) but not as much hype as there was previously. He was like 17 when he first started getting hype tbh so I usually think those people are frauds unless I watch them and deem them good players (recall watching Angel di Maria in 2008 olympics, was clear he would be good).

by Mr Nick09 Tue May 23, 2017 1:04 am

yes he is still good and still very young lol, he was voted best player in jupiter league 2017. He is progressing according to his age and now he is stepping up. Will be interesting to see how he compares to Verratti over the next year or so

What do you mean " still " pretty good? this was his best season. Laughing
