None of that matters. If this kid is regarded as the next big thing then the top clubs would sign him regardless of squad size and price.
Monaco are considering Nani for £14m, an extra bit of pocket change and they can have Bernard.
All I'm saying is the only clubs that have bid for Bernard are Tottenham and Shaktar and I think that tells us a bit about the player.
I'd still like us to sign him but that's more because I'm desperate for signings rather than thinking this kid is going to be a world beater.
