Three Brazilians in a starting 11 is pure taste. In fact we may end up with more Brazilians than any other nationality in our side at times.

Laughed like the joker when that went in. Literally haven’t laughed like that since I first did shrooms.

3 Brazilians in a team is the stuff of dreams. There was talk about us trying to build links with clubs over there so this sort of move will help us with that.

Surprised you didn't make a thread for it.

Was it a league game when Lennon heinously head butted Alan Shearer’s boot?

Be interesting to see the progress we have made against the very best.

@Rich taking cues from the @Yorkie playbook. Diaby worked out well. Mods need a course in transfer edging.

A new price is fixed for the transfer of Paqueta

I just fucking love Bruno, don't think i'll ever tire of watching him play.

Beardsley, Gascoigne and Ben Arfa probably have comparable levels of ability with a football at that their feet.

I mean Beardsley is one of my favourite footballers of all time. I think that's probably the thing that distinguishes Bruno is that we've not really had a player like him ever, so he doesn't have an obvioius comparator. 'Better' is quite a tricky concept to nail down too.

To a certain degree it's how you quantify a footballer which means different things to different people. He may not have the scoring prowess of those mentioned but some of the things he can do with a ball are just as impressive. You're going back (at least) the best part of 30 years to those players at their best form so as you say apples and oranges. It's his completeness and intelligence for me.

I am struggling to think of a better footballer who has played for us.

If we were to ever sell Bruno it will be for serious money which will be good for the club and reinvested.
