    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.

    Best midfielder on the pitch, by a distance, last night.

    He does have a certain ability in tight spaces; but I feel like I must be going crazy hearing so many people say things like this about his first touch. Enough people seem to think this that I'm starting to think maybe I'm the one who is wrong; but I honestly don't see it at all.

    On the game, he was superb last night!

    Aye, this is it.. think he'll soon realise he's better than most he's coming up against and when that happens, he'll be difficult to shift..

    Guy is just a a complete midfielder. There's still times he's off it but overall he has got everything. This time next year him and Engels will be proper, proper CL class midfielders mixing it with the best of them. Buzzing to see them both progress.

    He’s continuing to develop because his work rate and attitude are exemplary.

    Turning into some player.

    It's time he wasn't first midfielder taken off..

    Was easily our best player first half..

    The one with the cleverness in his passing. Counted against least 2 lovely back heel passes that put us away..

    Honestly couldn't believe he was taken off.

    Fantastic player and has fully cemented himself as our first choice midfielder alongside McGregor.
