Wishlist Bernardo Silva

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Chelsea are set to offer £70m for #ASMonaco midfielder Bernardo Silva. (Times) #CFC

[Chelsea? 892]

I started this post getting ready to complain about the loss a of goal scorer we'd experience if we replaced Pedro with Bernardo. Then I realized Pedro and Willian haven't scored much either.

He is promising, but his size can be a problem in PL. Not saying small players cant make it, but we already have Eden. Would be good if our RW had ability not only to dribble, but sometimes to push through defences like Bale or Robben do.

Also Lemar created more chances at Monaco, so Silva is definately not the only one pulling strings. Even if he was sort of playmaker, you cant simply say he will replace Cesc. Having midfielder who can operate with ball and distribute it is crucial in today football. 

I would still prefer Lemar and by quite a big margin.  Not saying he is better than Bernardo, but IMO he would fit here more. Bit stronger, heavy worker, can play anywhere and very direct. He can cross, pass or dribble, even score goals.

Disagree. Bernardo is the main creator for Monaco, and all of those things you said apply directly to Silva as well, and he is a significantly better passer and dribbler than Lemar. Like i said before, the only thing Lemar has on Silva is his speed and FK ability. Also, their goal output is extremely similar, i think Bernardo has 7 goals and Lemar has 8, something like that. Also, this height thing is absolutely not necessary for a winger, an argument could be made for a FB, but a winger's duty is not to win headers

I just hope the rumours are true on Chelsea getting a very early start on the transfers for summer. Early work is desperately needed in this crazy club football marketplace! Give Conte what he wants and make Chelsea better from wing backs to CM, to FWD line as quickly as possible!

Bernardo Silva can “get close” to the level of Lionel Messi, says Joao Moutinho

When a young player is getting so much hype to the point of being given the cursed title of "the next Messi" I get very cautious. It is more a rule than exception that those players fade and never live up to expectations. Gotta stay positive though I guess.

So he wouldn't offer us anything different from what we're already getting from Matic?

[akgw13 867]

holy moly Silva just undressed city and played a killer pass. Shook of physical tackles and nutmegged a guy. I'm sold. Costa on the end of that and its a goal. 

[BoyBlue96 990]

Great action and great ball to Falcao. This lad has some class.

[Pizy 18,405]

Oh my. Messi-esque dribbling!

[akgw13 867]

Hazard and Silva together would be absolutely terrifying. So tricky and slick. Costa would be licking his lips. Will be a heavyweight battle for him this summer, lets hope we come out on top!

Hopefully...as that bald fucker Pep can already watch him in real life atm...

[BoyBlue96 990]

Lemar, Bakayoko, Mendy, Bernardo, Mpabbe, Sidibé... Monaco got some players!

 

Even Falcao looks good! Hope they win!
