Fernando 6,585 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I stopped reading after this Yeah I saw that myself. But the price still caught my attention. 6 million for a possible azpi type of player. Sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Why not?But only as a back-up to Shaw and third choice behind him and Bertrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDY 1,290 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 He played as a winger 1-2 years ago. Was good in various youth tournaments. No clue about him now. Probably want to turn him into another Alba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodIsBlue 291 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Shaw is critical. I think the club needs some English players and there are very few that fit the bill like Shaw. If the team skips out on Shaw what other young Englishmen could we recruit, Jordan Henderson? But I think there is no way Mourinho would want Bernat in his backline, as someone else mentioned he's just too small. Southampton are bluffing by saying they won't sell and will probably agree to a good enough deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton are bluffing by saying they won't sell and will probably agree to a good enough deal.For a team that is looking for value this makes all the difference: Bernat is rated at about £6million, meaning he would be much better value than Southampton ace Luke Shaw, with he said to be valued at £30million.
