About £15m imo. Not sure if levy would pay that

We paid that for Modric. We're looking at a kid who has broken into the Brazil team and is looking like a real hot prospect. If he gets as good as Modric, which is entirely possible, Levy can make 100% profit on him, and maybe more.

Villa on perm or loan?

Perm.

Still think he's got 2-3 years at least in him at top level.

I would fathom we could potentially get both wrapped up for around £25 million.

I would hope that outgoings would cover that alone... Of course the more outgoings, the less we can afford to only bring two players in; it's a balancing act.

Yes but this is Daniel so you never know. Often full of surprises, sometimes good others bad

Just done the Youtube thing on Bernie.

So what we have is a lightning quick midget who, although right-footed, can shoot or cross with either foot, will choose to pass when it's a better option than shooting, is tricky and hell, has good positional play, follows up on shots instead of admiring the play, and, improbably, gets the odd headed goal. Oh, and can score from free kicks.

Works for me.

Villa and Bernard would be awesome if they were are two major signings. The biggie being keeping Bale.

Throw in a few speculative purchases/some prudent cover and I would be over the moon!

I would imagine it's one or t'other as its Lennon's place that's under threat from both as I very much doubt we'd employ Villa up top.

It's just really encouraging the type of player we are looking at this window and ones where they will hopefully be the final pieces of the jigsaw.

Basically, an upgrade on Lennon.

Someone who can take a corner that beats the first man wouldn't go amiss either.

Depends really. Villa would play from the left perhaps, Bernard from the right and Bale behind the striker - if its a 4-2-3-1 etc...that would be a pretty fluid three as well, plenty of scope for interchanging.

Not sure what way we'll set up so its hard to second guess from that point of view.

Is Villa good on the left of a front 3 or is he better up top?

Difference between the Cobra and the Goat is that the many sources behind the Goat have been very carefully scrutinised by Rob and the Mods to prove their links and detect bullshit. How do you know that has happened with the Cobra? You dont.

Madness. If he is the guy for this outrageous amount of money, then great I hope the club have seriously done their homework. If not then I hope we have a viable alternative that does not have to cost 20 million whatevers.

Lets explore the World market and not just the European one (like that other mob).

Don't worry, if he joins his corner taking will be on a downward trajectory until it is in line with the rest of the squad

Get it done Daniel, don't haggle until the big boys come in or piss off his agent and/or owners

A one-off accidental snippet of ITK for you here:

Kyle Walker possibly off to Chelsea.

I'll PM my source to the first mod who appears.

Well I think this answers a lot of questions re:Bernard

I suppose it just depends whether that other Forum scrutinises to the same extent that the likes of Rob do on here. Know way of knowing unless there is an end of year convention in which all mods come together for a knees up - and shit gets discussed :)

Dear Lord I hope that's not true. For all of his derpiness, I still think he's going to be a great talent.

Is that an indication that you the Bernard link isn't credible/you haven't heard anything?

Or you just playing Devil's advocate

Interesting. Would I be upset? I'm not sure to be honest. Think it's the crappy old RM link to be honest.
