Bernardo Silva makes absolute sense for Arsenal.

He's a hybrid player who can play AM, wide or CM.
He offers goals from midfield.
He presses hard and high up the pitch.
He has worked with Arteta before.

At 26 he would be a phenomenal signing for Arsenal.

If we're going to spend another 70m, Pep mentioning that he wants to leave must of made Arteta's ears prick up.

#dreamsigning.

{Ed014's Note - love him, brilliant player, would take him every day and twice on Sundays!

Way better than Maddison!

He wants to move to Spain, not arsenal. Would love him here though.

100% Ed, couldn't agree more!
Supposedly Sally but I reckon MA could convince him!

Am I missing something Glenn? unless it's the other Sally.

I remember a game from a couple of seasons back when MannCity played away to Liverpool at with a makeshift central midfield partnership that included Silva. I remember thinking that was an incredibly lightweight midfield and that they would get absolutely destroyed. How wrong I was, Silva was unbelievable, absolutely bossed the midfield. Absolutely loved him ever since. Would love to see him at our club.

Sorry Sally I have no idea why I put you instead of SirWenger 😂

Yeah Epping he's class. Amazing to watch and an engine in midfield. That's the sort of signing that would show intent and progression.

Just asking the question

Is he any more likely than Stirling to swap City, challenging for champions league and premier league league titles for Arsenal?

I 100% see why he makes total sense for us but I am at a loss as to how we make sense for him, surely he is a wish list player rather than a realistic option.

{Ed014's Note - so he can lead us to glory 62! 😉

He is a wish list signing Gunner mate for sure. However, he wants to leave and clearly he doesn't feel like an important enough player to City. Something that he would certainly be to us.

There is no harm in trying that's for sure, you might just be surprised!

Personally, I think it could be a realistic option if we made him a good offer!

Fair play Glen, it's all opinions mate, the way my mind works is I always look at things from both sides and think why would they?
It's a no brainer for us why we would want Silva but for Silva I'm struggling to see why us from his point of view!
Yes there is money but players coming for that reason hasn't worked out well hadn't worked out well for us in the past, besides I'm not sure Silva is that kind of player or person.

May be he wants to help us challenge for that illusive 4th place trophy - more chance of us getting there than City.

The 4th place trophy is by far the most difficult trophy to win SY mate, you must get enough points but not to many so as to finish 3rd, a bit like pontoon/ blackjack where it's easy to bust.

Winning the league where you simply need to get more points that anyone else is easy in comparison to lifting the much prized 4th place trophy.

Fair enough Ed014 mate, makes perfect sense when you put it like that 😯 are you going to pitch the idea to him or would you rather Darren Brown had a go mate 🤗.

{Ed014's Note - think I’ll leave it to Darren mate, not sure my touch is that magical! 🤣🤣

If we’re going to employ Darren Brown we might as well get him to work on signing Messi as well. Let’s say a 2 year contract with Messi paying us 50k a week for the privilege, how does that sound😀.

Sounds excellent to me Epping mate, Darren could turn out to be our second best signing ever, obviously even Darren Brown can't get close to Bergkamp ❤👍.

The financial issues the Spanish clubs could make us signing him possible but I think we're trying to sign British players first.
