Bernard

[KoemansNumberTens]

He was rotten yesterday. We've way too many players who we can't rely on for a basic level of competence week in and week out.

[blargins]

Bernard is better when we have proper footballers playing with him. Can't be relied on on a regular basis as you say. But of a luxury player.

I remember everyone was so excited when he signed for us, but he's arguably our worst player in terms of investment. He's our top earner, isn't he?

He is our highest earner, but it'll take 4 years of his wages alone to even get close to the investment we shelled out for Iwobi and about 8 years for Sig as an example. This doesn't include their wages, just transfer fee.
So nowhere near our worst investment imo

Would be able to sell him tomorrow for 25million I'm sure.

Lack of consistency is a problem, doesn't help that he filters in and out of the team ( whether through injury or otherwise).

Perhaps with regular game time week in week out he'd get some consistency.

Has a buy out clause of £47.5M does he not?

Not sure if I heard that right though.

I'd sell if we got offered that for him.

Well we wouldn't have a choice if we got offered that, that's the thing about buy out clauses....

Info on his wages. No info on a buyout clause. I've definitely seen it somewhere though!

That's true, had forgotten we got him on a free.

If he agrees to the move as well of course. It doesn't automatically mean a move will happen. A new club might pay it, but then offer him less wages than what he's on now.

But my comment was based irrespective of whether he has a clause or not. That's the first time I've heard of such a clause of any of our current players.

Sigurdsson
Schneiderlin
Tosun
Bolasie
Niasse

He has to.

It’s not his fault.

Irrelevant really, to get someone of Bernard's quality for free is one of our best bits of business, not worst. It's pretty much better than any other business we've done in recent years, including Iwobi
