Still playing with a bit of weight on his shoulders I reckon... each game it gets lighter and lighter. Can see him taking leaps this year.

Not surprising that he has looked sharper since this is his first season without a knee operation in years.

Of course Dest hardly gets dribbled past... he is never in the right position to begin with.

They wouldn't stand in the way of any player that wanted to leave because truely big clubs don't do that.

I don't blame the guy at all, he is so young and has shown so much already, but he struggles so much when he isn't being the protagonist. It makes sense considering who he was coming up in La Masia, but it is something that he will need to learn.

That guy is probably the worst member of this forum at the moment. Post after post of absolute nonsense.

Anyone who says that he doesn't have the physical attributes is just an idiot. Literally has everything you could ever want in a centre back, and that is in spite of his lack of height, which he more than makes up for with his anticipation and jumping ability.

Here is our new boy taking the absolute piss out in France.

Seriously looks like one of those Messi pass compilations where his team mates miss sitter after sitter.

Bernardo's defensive stats are better than De Jong though, aren't they?

The thing that gives me hope that he isn't a 'big fish in a small pond' player is that his playstyle is highly associative, and even playing in a very, very bad Leeds team he was still one of the best attacking players in the League. The hope is that being in a system that suits him and playing...

Agreed. Can probably easily find a keeper with better shot stopping but there are only a handful of keepers that are anywhere near as capable with the ball at feet as Ter Stegen and that is something we need.

Going to be a good signing. Much more capable physically than Dani and has far more of a clue than Dest. Shame he is so old, but buys us time to find a good enough full time RB because Dest is not it. Far less happy about Alonso, but I guess the thought process behind it is the same. Same...

Every Brazilian dreams of playing for Barca or Madrid. Raphinha especially as he grew up close to Ronaldinho.

If it is true, Raphinha telling Deco to tell Chelsea to fuck off automatically makes him a must buy for me at any price.

He is no Bernardo, but he is still better suited as an interior in our system than FDJ. That isn't to say that he is a better player than FDJ. 20m of the Man U money going to this and the rest going to Kounde?

Why would Pep want a player he has to shape his entire team around to get the best out of him?

Should be trying to include Trincao if we are really interested in him. Or at least, scratch their back etc etc

I mean he looks great in Santos' terrible Portugal system...
