They are gambles too it seems.
He was at Atletico, he just struggled and got sent to Benfica. Unless you're talking about the CB Gimenez.
Yeah. Then we'll all complain when they're tearing shit up at Dortmund or Atletico. Nobody wants Ousmane Dembele or players like that.
Dembele was a special case, we are now talking about a striker. Do you think Silva is a bigger talent than Martial and Rashford? I am guessing no, then why purchase him?
This is Bernardo Silva, not Andre Silva, he's not a striker.
A striker? You should concentrate on biathlon.
I didn't mean that Dembele is a striker, I know that he is a winger, I was talking about this thread.
There is no reason for us to purchase a striker with potential if he isn't clearly in the ridiculously talented bracket, because that is the bracked he needs to be in to be worth it ahead of Martial and Rashford. Instead of this Silva we might as well go for Celtic's Dembele or that Mbappe guy, or even better, Dybala.
People that is screaming out for a new striker forgets that we've deployed two of the worlds hottest striker talents on the wings this season due to our lack of pace, we should be focusing on adding pace on the flanks, not more potential great strikers.
Edit: Seems that I've been frequenting the wrong thread in my drunken stupor, portugese feckers can get some more distinct names and stop naming themselves nearly the same. Bacalao eating cnuts.
Then who the feck is Rafa Silva?
Someone that used to play for Braga and is now playing for Benfica.
Is he injured or just not getting a game?
No idea, I just know that he exists because I saw him play twice.
Adrien Silva - Sporting's captain, plays in midfield
Bernardo Silva - plays for Monaco, David Silvaesque
André Silva - Porto striker
Rafa Silva - Benfica winger
Hope this helps

Is "Silva" the Portugese "Smith" ?
It means forest and it's not their complete surnames. Basically it means that one of their ancestors lived in or near a forest.
That's the one.
That's an awesome fact.
Just like "Petersen" "Andersen" "Eriksen" (the "Sen"'s) means Peters son, Anders son etc.
Yes, very much so. There isn't anyone in the country that doesn't know a Silva.
We have no space for this player sadly. Top talent though....
I've read all the four pages and @JPRouve's assessment is pretty much spot on. If he reaches David Silva's level is one thing, but he has all the tools to do it. Leonardo Jardim has been great with him, especially improving his work rating and helping him understand how to avoid physical contact. He's at the right place to keep improving and if he moved to England I don't think he'd have an immediate impact on the league. But i also don't think he'll be that expensive considering the current market and it's surely worth a try for the top teams in the world.
United have other worries, but it would be a great signing for you.

He can play on the right whilst they arguably are strikers. We're desperate for some quality out wide. I actually think he's that good he's one you don't want to miss out on. I could be wrong and he never does anything but let's just see.
He's currently a better player than Rashford.
He also looks like he could be an amazing player.
He does but I don't think he played it right by going to Benfica. At 23 as a young portuguese talent you should be aiming to leave to the biggest in Europe. Benfica aren't going to let him go after this year given his injury and after next season ends he'll be 26. Younger wide players like Bernardo Silva and Gelson Martins already seem to be above him on our national team so his value internationally may not be improved a lot and Benfica will want big money for him considering how much they invested.
Leaving Portugal aged 26 or 27 as a winger is way too late in my opinion if you want to be one of the best in the world. I think he'll reach Gaitan levels and be a star in Portugal but he'll end up short of shining internationally.
Tomorrow's headlines say we are in for Bernardo Silva from Monaco he's been in great form of late and is very David Silva-esque in his play style. So where does he fit in a 4-3-3 with our current squad plus a possible incoming Griezmann?
Can't see why we need him. Calling bs on this one.
Perhaps a combination bid for him and other Monaco midfielder? Can't see we go for him alone with this price tag
70M where do they get these figures from.
where do they get these figures from.It's The Sun...70M
Ive never seen him play, but he'd never make it in the Premier League.. I mean, look at his arms
For once they might be close to the truth, he is widely seen as the best player in the league.
Seriously? Better than the PSG players like Veratti, Thiago Silva etc?
I've never even heard of him, I need to up my game it seems.
The best player in France this year, by far.
Phenomenal player and improved so much with Jardim.
But to be honest, with Mata in our team, we have the same type of player so we don't need him

Yeah, better than them this year. Even if he's a forward player he performs so well. He was very good against Spurs in Champions League and I hope he'll destroy City too
He's an amazing talent. I remember him being brilliant for Portugal in a youth tournament a couple of years back.
In fact, I'll take Jardim when Jose is done here too.

The only player close to him is Lemar, PSG are strong as a team and they are more consistent but Monaco has the best individualities.
Edit:
And the comparison with Mata makes no sense, they are completely different players.
Bernardo Silva is a quick dribbler with a great eye for a pass while Mata is a slow player with great moves for goals.
Bernardo is more a mix between Mkhitaryan and David Silva.

Would make some sense for us, not sure we have found the right answer on the right. Both Mkhitaryan and Mata are better in the middle.
he's the last player I believe Mourinho would like to play on the wing for him, lacks power and any pace, Mata is so much better and januzaj could do what he does, it's bullshit anyway by the tabloid paper
Lemar? I haven't heard of him either.
Had to google him. Him too plays for Monaco I see. Christ they must have an exciting team now! Bakayoko, Fabinho, Lemar and Bernardo, nice midfield that.

They do, to highlight it Monaco has scored more goals at this point of the season than any other team did last season at the exception of Lyon and PSG. They are currently at 60 goals in 20 games while Paris and Lyon respectively scored 102 and 67 goals in 38 games.
