Wishlist Bernardo Silva

[Styles 9,790]

SIGN HIM UP!

What an amazing player.

Mbappe too. Shit, we should sign 5 or 6 of this Monaco team.

Bar far the best Silva on the field....Magical.

Hazard and Silva on the same team?

Lukaku for 70m or Mbappe?

How much would a Hazard-Costa-Silva front line score in a season? Costa +/- 25, Hazard 15-20, Silva +/-10? That's not enough.

I hope Mbappe stays at Monaco for at least three more years. That's me assuming he's never joining Chelsea. I wouldn't want him getting subbed in 30 sec before full time anyway.

Silva has 9 goals this season according to Wiki. Around 15 is doable and that would be a nice return.

Do you think Conte will always use 3-4-3? I'd hate to think we'd limit ourselves to one formation only for the duration of his stay here. We'll need tactical flexibility a lot more next season (especially in Europe).

The more talent we have (especially in attacking areas) the better.

Agreed with Mbappe but you know football works. He'll be gone in a year max.

Silva and Mendy would be a great summer window imo.

A lot of clubs will have a similar idea.

You think Conte would that to every striker that he has on bench. He appreciates mobile strikers with ball skills. That's why Batsuhayi is not getting time and I don't think we'll sign Lukaku. Mbappe on the other hand is the type of attacker he very much likes.

He scored 9 in 14/15, 7 last season and 8 in the current season for Monaco (1 for Portugal for 9 in total). I've seen him in action more than a couple times and this guy is not a scorer. Don't see him producing Hazard kinds of numbers (consistently).

I don't know. Maybe 4-3-3 next season when he'll be more comfortable to switch it up from time to time. Though I wonder about the CB duo in a 4-man defence. And Azpilicueta and Alonso as fullbacks.

True but you don't want to end up with too much of the same. You create that and you end up complaining about that later.

That would be a shame and a big problem in today's football. It's best for him develop in his own environment with less pressure rather than to chase moolah at this age.

Everyone likes a forward likeMbappe.

I was only half-joking. For me a player like Mbappe should be playing every week. Don't see that happening at Chelsea or any other major club.

I don't see it that way. Why not capitalise on your success early? He could lose form badly or suffer a serous injury at any point. He's only 18 but footballers have short careers.

The kid is clearly talented enough and will only get better. And if things don't work out at a top club he will have 4/5 years of a great contract behind him (financial freedom early) and several decent clubs looking to sign him based on potential alone.

That's not the right mindset imo. You play football assuming you'll be fit. You don't forget you could get injured but that's not what you expect to happen. At 18 (!) you have plenty of time.

Players who experienced a steady journey to the top tend be more succesful than players who move to top sides at a young age. Few with a big move at a young age and little experience end up like Cristiano Ronaldo. It's more than just playing football elsewhere. You're life changes completely.
