A new? striker

[dibo]

Bernie scored 4 this morning with the kids.

 

[Wee-mac]

Promote Bernie. Scored 4 for the youth team this morning

 

[Roy Law]

Love Bernie. The black Matty Simon. Will definitely play in first team and that means his mum will be there watching - and she is almost as entertaining as Bernie is.
And...we have one hell of a youth team - Ryan, Mustafa, Sainsbury, Bernie plus...there's more!

 

[Redshirt]

Kwassie and Matt were actually quite alright against Sydney... will be good to see Bernie get a call up - perhaps if he keeps slotting them home for our NYL boys

Bernie isn't the black Matty Simon. I think he is much more skillful and a much better finisher. Perhaps because he is playing an easier opposition, but he can score from more of a distance than Simon. I can't remember Simon ever hitting a solid shot on target from any distance outside the box.

Kwassie and Matt were definitely effective against Sydney. I think Kwassie sitting high on their backline freed up Matty, who was often dropping deeper to link with the midfield. This gave Matty more room, allowing him to turn and face the goals. He was only offside once all game from memory.

lol, was just talking about getting Bernie on the bench in the SFC game thread.

 

[TysonP]

He was in the squad but 4 had to be omitted.

A friend of mine watched the boys training today (Tuggerah)and told me about this black striker (Bernie) who was a real talent.
He's not really a CCM fan but came to the Sydney game with me last week(and i think has been bitten by the bug)
and is a decent player himself and has a pretty good knowledge of the game.
He told me this kid is a real good un and is definately knocking on the door. Said Bernie reminded him of a Kanu and has a wicked shot and is a real handful.
Pretty good rap from a bloke thats not easily impressed, so maybe we have the striker we need already in the ranks!

Yeah I think Bernie's a talent and have heard a lot of people say likewise. Much superior to someone like Djitte that has been so overhyped. I haven't seen him in a while and I'm wondering how his physical development strength wise is coming along?

It's just about his development and getting the timing right now as personally I'm hoping we see a few minutes of him this year off the bench. But GA sees him all the time so must be well aware of him and has proved a pretty astute judge so far.

 

[nikko]

just waiting for the Dwight Yorke rumours to appear

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Its rumoured he's retired.

 

[TysonP]

Bernie retired?

 

[Roy Law]

Yep, his mum sent him to bed early

 

[the J Man]

with armni gone for a month in january sounds like a nice time to slot him on the bench.with matty slotting back to midfield after 60 minutes and stick the kid up front

 

[garlo]

Massively agree j man

 

[shipwreck]

Looks like the rumours about the norwegian striker are quashed now, Sydney FC just signed the Finnish top goal scorer for the ACL, scandanavian top scorer to a NSW club, easy to see how the confusion started, shame tho
