Very happy with his addition, exceptional player with a skillset that we clearly lack. Wish him all the best!

 

Great player. Good to see some experience join the ranks.

Hopefully he has a significant impact on the field and in the dressing room.

Love the signing on paper.

 

Confirmed 2 year deal. What a signing.

 

Very good signing. Wish we somehow have gotten him earlier. Fighter on the field and technically great.

 

2 years? Very good deal.

Haaland is such a good sport

 

A football savant if there ever was one. Extremely intelligent and technical, but also such a fighter with huge huge balls. The definition of a winner, a champion through and through. Rare breed honestly. You simply cant but respect a legend like Bernardo Silva.

I am worried about his athletic decline though. I know he's never been about sheer athleticism, but he's jst slow on the turn at this point. He definitely lost a gear in the last year or two and it showed regularly. Theres no doubt that hes past his peak already, but hopefully we take good care of him and his mental and technical characteristics outweigh the physical ones.

Its a good signing on a free, the reward could be quite high if it works out. Perhaps I am just disappointed because a signing like this signals the opposite of a long term project and squad building. But in a vacuum, in the current context, hes a valuable addition.

 

he is by far the best midfielder in this team,has to start and play in a double pivot or as an 8 in a 4-3-3

he cant play on the right wing anymore,leave that to Endrick,Fede,the dictator or Arda

finally there is a guy who can control a ball,pass and dribble in the middle...Pitarch can learn some things from him

but he isnt enough ,need another midfielder...Enzo meh

Even though Cannavaro was past his prime, he was starting CB in back to back La Liga titles as well. A position that was a headache for years with failed signings like Walter Samuel and Woodgate.

 

LMAO Emerson. I forgot all about that guy.

 

Too bad he had a stinker today alongside CR7. He got benched at half-time while CR stayed on the pitch.

 

My man really looked like Puma and kind of had the mannerisms to match

 

I hope Jose can squeeze every drop of top flight football he has left. Very skilled and versatile player. Can fix a lot of our midfield problems. I just hope his leg are still there.

 

I have a feeling that he would be an automatic starter in the first season in his first season. Looks to me miles better midfielder than what we have currently. I hope that we he will have positive impact on our young midfielders - Jude and Arda and also positive impact as a professional in the squad. We've lost that with Modric and Kroos gone.

 

The guy played nearly 4k minutes for City this season, more than the likes of Foden Doku Reijnders and Nico.

Social media is judging him way too harshly on one half of football in a Portuguese side that has historically struggled.

 

Good player, but was lucky to be playing in Pep's system & I personally don't feel his best is yet to come. Hope he sparks some creativity where others failed

 

Bernardo can be a quality footballer and still have benefited from spending the better part of a decade in one of the most rehearsed systems football world has ever seen. I think those ideas aren't competing with each other.
