What kind of player is he?
Very technical inside forward winger who is heavy with his left foot. In traditional sense previous Italy teams he would be a fantasista, a nr 10 playing off a striker, more about short burts, technique, creatvity and deadly shot, but in more modern footie he is roaming inside forward. Excellent eye for cross/finding others in build up and tricky bending type of shots.

Creativity wise he used to be at his best as left winger (excellent crosser), but that was season previous to this one, this one has taken a complete big step as a player becuase they play hin near final third as off right side or free roaming role as central AM/SS (Ilicic has been put in the dog house, so Berna gotten more freedom at times). Both of these suit him more in being more goal threat, both in cutting in ala Robben (way less speed tho, thats why traditional winger role isnt for him IMO) but also generally being unpredictable while combining with others. LW makes some sense but he is at his best style wise in the right or central when I seen him.





If Allegri wants him, it will be corious to see how he wants to use him? Logically says it will be LW, tho a role where he will mainly cross is less interesting for him, more so when we have Sandro to do that, it oughta be RW, but he isnt as hard working as Cuadrado (tho he WAS playing wingback almost entire of last season...), and he will cut in alot like Dybala would in such a role, very left footed.

WAY better.



But Bernadeschi is still an interesting talent based on this season, 2nd most interesting italian player for me right now after Verratti (who is already 2nd best CM in world for me). Mainly because his high technical quality has the potential to go far in top football.

    i didnt watch half of their qualifying games, but the friendlies they played vs Spain and Germany he played in a 3421. on the Euros, he played only one game vs Ireland, where he was a wingback

    He is a waste as wingback, its part of why I say his performance for azzurri is gutless. But Italy has been too experimental in using its different formations, and having too much of a generational change at once.

    Verratti and Bernardeschi or Sanchez and Tolisso, who would you chose?

    @Osman

    Excellent description of the player. For me though, his left sided play is great. When he plays more on the left he opens up the pitch so much with his passing. He doesn't shoot as much of course but he Dybala and Higuain for that. His passes (long and short) and his crossing would be great to set up our guys. Him and Sandro could be a very hard due to stop from getting a ball in.

    On the other hand on the right he work as you say, and be great as well as a more direct threat. I imagine tons of exchanges between him and Dybala. A bit like he already does with Cuadrado, but in this case Berna would be much more of a goal threat than the Colombian given his left foot.

    It sucks that he is Tuscan and at Fiorentina, he would my favorite player to sign this summer.

    Anyone combination that has Verratti will automatically win.


    Its that easy.


    I want Sanchez badly but we cant find another CM like Verratti (will be here for over decade) while Sanchez tho a top 10-15 overall player, we can find other solutions for in comparison.

    Agreed in general really, but I find his goal threat ability to be too high to sacrifice it for more crossing from left (he can cross fine from right too, just need to cut in with his left lol, both those type of crosses are more hard to defend against).


    For the bolded, yeah it will be bit sensitive (I'm trying to sign him for FM17 and this exact thing is major obstacle lol), but Juve have now gone so far ahead of Viola and rest of Italy that if we bid enough, we will get him IMO. Its too tempting to not want to eventually. We are litterally his only option in his home country. The other options is just window dressing til a real top club wants him.

    Lets hope Gigi's talks have done their work. He has been on Berna's case for a while and hyping him up since they are both from Carrara

    agree, which is why i didnt like the 352 with the current squad, especially not once it was clear Marchisio and Verratti will miss the Euro, as it would mean Candreva and Bernardeschi at WB. and Conte tried a 3421 in friendlies before the Euros, and even called up a bunch of wingers, just to later play them as WBs, CMs and SSs

    I think i'd go for Verratti and Bernardeschi.. Make Juve italian again @Bianconero_Aus
    me too, but i can see neither package happening easily
