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.
Of course it matters, if there are players more highly rated than this guy currently on the market and by the sounds of it, you think there are (talking about PSG, Monaco and Citeh here), well why aren't they trying to get them?

Tottenham ended up being the ones getting Bale, guess that shows his lack of talent too. It's so close minded to think, only a player is going to be any good if only the elite clubs get them - those clubs make mistakes too, or rather, they've already made their moves. They can't buy everyone and it's crazy to think they can.
