I'll be pretty pissed off if we don't sign this guy!
Is he any good?
He was hailed as the next big thing after Neymar in Brazil apparently, must be pretty special to be called that, he's a skillful dribbler with vision and he's Brazilian. That's a mouth watering prospect in my book, whenever the possibility of signing a dribbler from Brazil presents itself it's exciting, they've always managed to develop some of the best flair players out there.
I'd be disappointed if we didn't get him too, seems like a player who could get fans out of their seats.
better than your face.Quote:

Lets pray to Bergkamp it happens though, as we need a decent winger in our team and it looks like his crossing game is top notch, be perfect for Giroud.
Settle down Ollie, you've just said you've never seen him play so you can't strike him down just as much as Zimm shouldn't big him up.Quote:

Suarez is more of a goalscorer, he's not really a great dribbler different type of player....his dribbling doesn't compare to players like Ronaldinho or Neymar.
I'd be excited at the prospect of seeing Bernard, you might disagree and that's fine but for me it would be exciting to potentially see a skillful Brazilian at the club.
he might be a good player, I'm not really aruging that. im just saying that you have moaned for years that we have always gone for the cheap option, tried to buy unproven players and turn them into world class ones instead of signing world class ones and challenging and then as soon as we can buy world class ones, you want us not to do that but instead sign an unproven brazilian because he could potentially be amazing and develop him instead.Quote:

As I said I've got no problem with signing Suarez, but if it's at the expense of other signings it's disappointing.
With the numbers being banded about for Suarez me too, for that price we could have go a young player who will be one of the best players around. I don't want us to blow that kind of money on one player, but if you're going to go for the best you can get who's got many years left at the top so you get your money's worth (plus his marketability will mean the earning potential would be huge).Quote:

In honour of this prospective purchase....it's only fitting to regail you with a Bernard Manning Joke
Quazimodo is being chased down the street by a group of kids he shouts at them "For the last time i haven't got your football!"
Hope it's true.

Bernard added: "I am very happy and I want to celebrate this title, which is one of the most important ones I will have in my life.
"I'll keep working until the board decides something about the transfer. There are offers from English football, Shakhtar and Porto.
"I don't have anything to say about the fans. If I could, I would stay here the rest of my life."
