Welcome Bernardo Silva

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Looked quality against us, that's for sure.

[PeterParker]

Presumably a replacement for Navas

If we paid 81 mil for a replacement for Navas how much are we going to pay for someone who is a starter?

[harveytravis]

Nothing about this on the BBC sports page?

[london blue 2]

If he's anywhere near as good as our last bernado then I'll be a happy man...

[Nigels Tackle]

guess this means sanchez is off to bayern then?

wow!

now for walker, mendy, fabinho, donnarumma and a centerback we'll be nicely set for next season

[blues2win]

Apparently a huge battle over Mendy. Have to see how that goes but we're clearly interested.

Halford? Manning?

there have been one or two unlikely battles for Monaco players

Absolutely loved his first game against us - none of our players could get the ball off him. Is he 'just' a winger or can he play centrally? I know so little about him.

[Saul Goodman]

Jumping the gun a little bit eh?

Thats alot of money to be spent on not exactly a position of need.
Now Monaco's Tielemans signing makes sense.

Mendy, Fabinho, and Silva? Jesus. Lets not put all our eggs in Monaco's basket.

[Dameerto]

Is it official?

not yet but as good as

According to whom? (Not doubting you, just can't see it anywhere yet - which is very probably my fault).

In the Guardian now too:

Looks perfect for our style of play and only 22 years old! Exciting times!

[Mase]

Anyone going to answer the questions of what position he plays?

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Anyone going to answer the questions of what position he plays?

Sort of winger, think Nasri and Silva position in Pellegrini's first year, winger but tucked in. That's where he's played this season for Monaco when I've seen them. Guessing he can play wide or central, have read that he started out at left back.

[Dameerto]

Anyone going to answer the questions of what position he plays?

Looked to me (based on one match) like he could handle playing centrally in a (Dave) Silva role, but I know next to nothing about him, and he was apparently playing wide right in that first match against us.

[Guy Debord]

He's the new Silva

Cheers buddy. I'm VERY excited by his signing.

for Monaco he usually played wide right and then drifted in

thats one packed midfield. Pep did say he loves midfielders.

[bigblue]

From the sound of it we'll get Mendy & Silva for a little under 1.2 Pogbas
