[Robioto]

To answer my own question he's 26 and has played for Lille 22 times in 7 years...

Everyone is 5 knuckle shuffling over the Bernard annoucement

We'll latch onto this one in a bit

22 times in 7 years.

Thats either a lot of injuries or he’s vile shite.

He's actually played nearly 70 games in the last three seasons but still not overly impressed by this one.

Not true here--a lot of the online resources are behind. 28, 27, and 14 appearances in Ligue 1 the last three seasons. Did miss good portions of last season through an Achilles injury then subsequent ankle issues (not sure if connected). By some accounts he was one of the lone bright spots as Lille avoided relegation last term.

Good in the air, relatively comfortable with the ball. Apparently we were interested in January before he picked up an ankle knock and missed several weeks. Came back and wore the captain's armband once at the end of the season, for whatever that's worth.

And he's also got this in his locker:

I can't read his name without hearing Vic and Bob.

Note to self. Wiki is bullshit.

The Bernard signing is exactly the rabbit out of the hat I was hoping for.

[Makis]

Transfermarkt usually have up-to-date stats.

Tbh. ..the guy has had a monumental pile of shite to rid us of ...he even found a sucker to take Williams and Mirallas ....let's not do him down already ,because we have trouble inviting any half decent players to our lets face it shitshow (the last few seasons)....we've got two cracking replacements already ....and they are looking in the right areas ,which was obviously missed the last three years minimum by board and countless managers.

It's gonna take more than one window to get what we need easily ....

Whatever next ...people will want Walsh back although brands has had fuck all time ....next it will be Marco's fault and by Christmas (if not before) some flappers calling for big Sam again .
nerry a ball kicked in the prem and some sharpening knives polishing pitchforks already ..
Even with no other signings we will float to the top ten easily .

And then we got the Bernard news!

To be fair, it's usually decent for the footy stats. I thought that's a bit strange and did a bit of extra digging.

[dunkster]

I really hope silva gets this lot playing his way. Could be some amazing football to watch with these additions.
Last year numbed me to the core.
Took watching the world cup to make me like football again.

[Juanito]

I want two Centre half’s and sell Keane. Rojo Mina and Holgate competing for the two spots.

[toshyboy]

You gotta have faith in brands and silva to do what’s required based on our business so far

[themilkycoffees]

This Bernard signing just shows there's all sorts going on behind the scenes. Wouldn't be surprised if we did something similar with a CB tomorrow.
