S-to-M (completed)

Similar to what I said about Johnstone - nice to have a signing but should this position be our priority? Am I being too cynical in thinking Shi thinks he can find another Joao Gomes and make a big profit and that was more important than having a balanced squad?

100% the right call. If you've seen what we have in reserve should Sa get injured, then this makes perfect sense. If Johnstone comes in and that gives Sa a kick in the pants, then great. Two decent keepers competing for one position is exactly what we need.

I would say it's needed if he is going to help us stop waving people through in the midfield

Brazilians on X/Reddit seem to think this guy is the second coming.

Exciting signing but like WW said in the opening post, in one of our strongest positions.

It is and it isn't.

If we want to play three CMs rather than two then all of a sudden we don't have that much depth. Bouba could be out for a while, and regardless neither he nor Doyle have done enough as yet to suggest they should be starting 30+ PL games a season.

Why are we starting threads before the signing is official?

Without the early thread, the player has no chance of doing well.

Just play Andre, Gomes and Lemina in a 3 as much as we reasonably can. Shape the rest of the team however we need to for the opponent.

I cannot see one bit of negativity around this signing, whatsoever.

A ball winning, combative, Brazilian international central midfielder.

What’s not to love?

He's more Neves than Kante according to his stats.

He's more Neves than Kante according to his stats.

That’ll do me.

 

[Johnny75]

That’ll do me.

I'm only going from his stats on fbref there as I've never seen him play other than highlights on YouTube.

 

[Shotbybothsides]

Very excited about this signing!

We?

 

[Dire Wolf]

Yet there is no thread for the French defender who we actually have announced as a signing?

Bunch of bloody contrarians...

 

[1986]

Will he get clearance to play on Saturday.... or are we too late ?

No chance he plays.

 

[1986]

No chance he plays.

We probably wouldn't throw him in this early anyway even if he was cleared .
