Like Arsenals title challenge!

Has anyone actually watched Bernard over the full length of the season? Everyone on here seems to think he's amazing but i'd be shocked if many people have actually studied the player properly. I'm not comparing Bernard with Adel Taarabt but are we judging this player because he has flair??? I'm going to be honest i'm not so convinced Bernard is the real deal BUT i haven't watched him enough to make a fair judgement.

This is exactly the problem with YouTube scouts, they rarely see full matches and it's only ever well put together highlights packages. You could make Scott Parker look like Andreas Iniesta with enough video jiggery pokery.

Who's a one season wonder? If you're referring to Benteke again, for the hundredth time that is....how the hell do you know he's a one season wonder when he's only done a season here.

Don't know how you got a doh for this comment, you have to flop in you're second season to become a one season wonder and he hasn't played his second season yet !

Edit : Sorry got involved without checking details !

Another Kenwyne Jones, Andy Carroll or Darren Bent example and I think I'll put my hair out.

I think Bent did ok for us, he was the top scorer in his final season for us, so not a good example.

Villas second goal at Liverpool would suggest he does have something inventive about him.

1 backheel in a whole season, and suddenly he's "inventive".

He was also the only striker we had up against fraser campbell! He had no competition played every minute he could. Plus still has the worst miss ive seen by a spurs player ever beating Acimovic when he studded it into the ground over the!

I disagree. I would rather a player who wants to leave put in a transfer request, it means the club don't have to pay him his "sell bonus" cut of the transfer. Much more honourable IMO than doing what Berbatov or Modric did.

Modric put in a transfer request too

Son Benetke put it in writing, he's still leaving after only one season, if he comes to us and does the same thing people won't like it.

Paulinho was a good catch yeah but by the time we bought him he had 17 caps for Brazil and had won pretty much everything in South America. They hardly had to search real hard to find him.

we need a striker, they need to find us one that we don't get absolutely fleeced on, lesser teams in the league do it all the effing time so why can't our lot

I agree!
There must be a striker out there that suits the boards insatiable desire for value but also has the skills! My betting is that Bony will be an absolute star at Swansea!

"Think that was around a month ago, I'm sure he will end up in Europe somewhere.

Here you go Osh, this kind of backs up what I was saying but I can't remember which ITK'er said something similar:

"Bernard is the rising star of Brazilian football, having finally become a regular for Mineiro last season before starring for the national team during the Confederations Cup.

The 20-year-old, who can play behind a striker or out wide, has also alerted the likes of Porto, Napoli, Benfica and Borussia Dortmund, but he has previously admitted his desire to move to the Premier League."

Don't think Modric ever put in a transfer request. There was never anything official to say so, and we definitely didn't ever accept one.

Shit happens, all strikers miss sometimes and we had Defoe in the side as well, Bent did his bit and weighed in with his fair share of goals.

£12m for a guy who could be good, bad, or awful.

Benteke will cost probably at least £8m more, but he's already shown he can score goals in this league for a poor team.

Sorry we got baldini from Roma yet they sign the kid we wanted?! How does that work exactly?!

It was a shocking miss though

He did score a few goals but he frustrated the hell out of me! His touch wasn't great and if he didnt contribute hardly anything! This is the same reason I dislike Dempsey sadly He chipped in with key goals yes but he doesn't contibute much else for me personally!

In 1 season!

If we are only prepared to pay for players that have prem experience, then we will always overpay!
