I am brazilian, and trust me, you have no idea what you are talking about, Diego is from the state of Bahia, which is located at the poorest region of the country, you would be shocked to see the situation of most people on that place. Most footballers from here come from a background of extreme poverty, and i mean like, not knowing where your next meal is gonna come from, those people view football, as a way to escape that situation, sometimes, the only way. Thats why most kids in here dream of being football payers, so they can escape the terrible future that awaits them. Unfortunately thats the situation of this country.

I dont see e scenario where he would leave to be honest. He seems so happy here, and we really wont accept any bid for him, unless he really forces it, but he wont, so we're good. Plus, it looks like Madrid have realized that he wont leave, as i've seen a few reports claiming that they have switched their attentions to other targets.

He was the best CB in the league this season, never mind our CB. His exclusion of the team of the year was criminal, CRIMINAL. Also, people calling him "consistent"on this forum need to have a look at themselves, he is MUCH more than consistent, he is our best defender, period. Might even go down as the best "defender"we've ever had IMO

Its Duncan Castles, but still, his article said that Monaco are trying to hold onto their key players,although they are expecting to raise money through the scheduled sales of Bernardo and Fabinho. But 65 for Mendy is just too high, so i doubt thats true, if we came in with an offer of say 40M i doubt they would refuse

Matic needs to be shipped off ASAP, absolute donkey But Bernardo in this game would have been exactly what we needed, we couldnt string 2 passes together, his ball retention is absolutely superb, with him in the side we wouldnt have been completely overwhelmed with and without the ball, im just so freaking tired of seeing Hazard having to do everything on his own, this needs to change now

So, do people still think we dont need players like Bernardo?????

Also, laughable that there is people that think that RW isnt a major position that needs upgrading, take Hazard out of the game and we are doomed

Matic and Costa are the most useless players on the team by far, this is a disgrace, A DISGRACE

Lets assume we will buy a new starter for the RW position and he gets hurt, would you really be comfortable, with Redmond playing against a team like, say Juventus? i wouldnt

To me our ideal team, and IMO very realistic is: Courtois Azpi Luiz Christensen Nelson Semedo Kante Naby Keita Mendy Bernado Silva Diego Costa/Lukaku Hazard Thats a CL winning team, and it actually is a affordable team Bernado(80M) Naby Keita( 45M) Nelson Semedo(30M) Mendy(30M) Lukaku(80M) if Costa leaves,which is going to give us an absurd amount of money, on top of that Oscar money The right players are there and available, we just cant slack now

lying? thats not a lie, even Arsenal fans say he is a shit dribbler when there is no space

He really isnt that good technically, his passing in particular is very poor, and he is not as good a dribbler as people think, he relies on his pace a ridiculous amount

City's transfer policy is absolutely laughable, they just buy attackers, thinking they will be able to outscore everybody, while neglecting other areas of the pitch, they're defense is laughable, and yet, all i hear are links to midfielders and forwards, we'll win another 3 CL's before they win one, and i actually wouldnt be worried at all if they sign Sanchez, because im positive he wouldnt be very good under pep's system as his passing skills are mediocre to say the least, and they would ostrcize one of Sterling and Sane, two players they have spent a fortune on, absolutely brainless club

He doesnt score alot, because thats not his job, he is the main creator for the Monaco team, if you look at the first goal for Monaco, Bernardo did pretty much everything, he went on a blistering run form the edge of his own box and left Lemar pretty much 1v1 with the keeper, but Lemar fluffed his shot, and luckily rebounded on a offside Mbappe. Stats dont capture this kind of contribution, Lemar got the assist and Mbappe got the goal, but make no mistake, that goal only happened because of him. He had a bad second half though, but that was mainly due to Monaco not even touching the ball before he was taken off. On ability alone, he is twice the player that Alexis is, who BTW has been in really shit form since he got put on the wings again by Wenger,which is where we would play him. And thats not even mentioning the fact that he is 29, and Bernardo is 22

PLaying VERY well against Dortmund, his close control is unbelievable

You underestimate us. But its not happening anyway, he will go to one of the spanish giants, not that im overly bothered.

Why are you lamenting losing him? City havent signed him yet lol. Knowing City, i wouldnt be surprised to see them not buy a single FB, and spunk the cash on another MF or a winger lmao. This guy though, is a top top player, him and Guerrero are my top choices for the LWB position, delighted to see we are at least interested in him

While the interplay between thsoe 3 would be beautiful, i dont think Sanchez is a pure 9, i think he would work out better as a secondary striker or a wide forward. But i still mantain, that we would be better served going after Bernardo Silva,who is six years younger than Alexis, than trying for Alexis( whom i very much doubt we will sign, given Arsenal's refusal to sell)

This Italian journalist's words have been twisted, he did said that the Lukaku deal is close, but what he said about Sanchez is that according to the english media Sanchez will play for us, not according to him, although he did said that we are planning a huge summer! So freaking excited

No, but he doesnt play there either, and i would much rather have 2 skillfull players and a striker, than 2 strikers and only one skillfull player. No need for more strikers IMO, unless Costa Leaves, which is looking likely

Well, i see no reason why we cant sign Sanchez and Lukaku, but buying Bellotti aswell would be unnecessary, we dont play with 2 strikers, and paying 90M for a backup( Belloti's release clause), is stupid to say the least.

The ES are not known for bulshitting, so i believe them. We havent been linked at all with Mendy,so its understandable that Sidibe is there and Mendy isnt. Also, all those names you mentioned have been linked with us by very credible sources, so it makes sense that we are still monitoring their situation, although i doubt that we will actually pursue them, excluding Dembele, whom i rate quite highly

He is fucking tragical, even the middlesbrough fans think he is crap, 0 goals and assists all season..... The definition of a headless chicken

The evening standard listed 18 players we have on our transfer shortlist, which are the following: 1- Alexis Sanchez 2- Romelu Lukaku 3- Ryan Bertrand 4- Virgil Van Djik 5- Alvaro Morata 6- Moussa Dembele 7- Craig Gordon 8- Michail Antonio 9- Fernando Llorente 10- Antonio Rudiger 11- Marco Verratti 12- Geoffrey Kondogbia 13- James Rodriguez 14- Faouzi Ghoulam 15- Franck Kessie 16- Tiemoue Bakayoko 17- Djibril Sidibe 18- Bernardo Silva Cant say we have no ambition for this summer looking at these names, hopefully we add Mendy to our shortlist

I started to pay attention to him 2 seasons ago. When i watch him play, im just in awe with how skillfull he is, the things he does with the ball, his ability in tight spaces is remarkable, and dare i say, messi like. He was very raw during his first season at Monaco, but the talent was clearly there, which is why Monaco paid 18M to Benfica for a player that didnt even kicked a ball for them,but he is improving, and FAST, the difference between his first season and this one is nothing short of remarkable. Us not getting him, would be a similar scenario that happened with Dybala, people called him a one season wonder, and that he wasnt "worth the price", and now people are willing to pay 100M for him, Bernardo will be the same, i can guarantee that he will be among the best players in the world in a few years, if he isnt already, because this season he has been the best player in a league that has players like Verratti, Di maria and Cavani. Signing Sanchez( we can try all we want, Arsenal wont sell him to us, of that i am certain) who will be 29 at the start of next season and ignoring Bernardo would be stupidity IMO, even though Sanchez is the better player right now.
