    He’s the perfect blend of O’Riley and Rogic. My favourite player of this season so far, great to watch!

    He’s as much a £10M signing as Engels, absolute terrific player to watch that can do it all.

    I think he'll turn out better than Engels.

    Absolutely robbed Benfica, so we have!

    Ooft. Bold statement....but not out of the question.
    He's playing like a man possessed.
    And truth be told I had my doubts about bernardo engels and calmac together as last season O’Riley with the other two wasn't clicking at times. But they are excellent together. Already formed a great relationship with engels as seen today with their amazing 1 touches and ball retention, transition to attack.
    Just. I'm just so happy.

    He has every chance and now the gauntlet is laid for Hatate who looks well behind both of them.

    I said last year when he settles and is confident enough in his ability to consistently play with freedom, rather than playing it safe and contained, he’s pretty much Matt O’Riley. He has a bit to go to reach that comparison on a consistent basis of course but even stat wise never mind just watching them play, his pressing, defensive work, passing, ball retention is identical. And his creativity when he takes the option is very consistent. He just needs to take that option a bit more to reach O’Riley levels of creativity and chances made.

    he’s a * plyer

    Selling MOR and buying Bernardo has to be (so far) one of the best transfer deals we've ever done money wise in regarding replacling a like for like player.

    Again that's no disrespect to MOR but we won't miss him if Bernardo keeps developing the way he is

    Tbf, Bernardo was far less regarded than Jota and his development had massively stalled before he came here.. and their supporters were happy to sell him for the fee agreed.

    Their youth system is that good.

    Benfica’s system is insane and if we can have a standard set up relatively low fee and 30% future profit we should milk that relationship as much as we can.
