    There was a reason I wanted us to get the deal done asap and didn't see the need to haggle over £6m for this lad. Quality player and doesn't have many weaknesses as a midfielder. The fee we eventually got him for is a bargain tbf, but that 30% to Benfica will be a handsome amount one day.

    Hope he starts on Wednesday.

    I was always a big on making sure we got a deal done to get Bernardo in on a long term deal. Hoping he is in the starting lineup Wednesday as I just love watching him play. His first touch and ability with the ball in tight spaces is superb.

    Really reminds me of Joe Ledley. Consistent, goes slightly under the radar and then pops up with a goal when needed. Has a bit of dig defensively as well.

    Agree on the Ledley comparison. You can see what Rogers is doing in putting him in the McGregor role from time to time, Guy just keeps giving....

    Totally agree. His defensive positional sense is very good as well and allows him to make so many little blocks or nicking the ball away. Just such a quality all round midfielder.
