The fact he managed to piss off miggy makes me think we should sign him just to get opponents sent off.

Jair Cunha from Santos. No idea if he’d get a work permit.

 

19y/o CB. Looks very Schär like in style except he’s a lot taller and (I think) quicker. 
 

Sprays it around well and, despite being 6’6” seems like he’s likes to get it front of the attacker and intercept. Brings the ball out nicely and has good feet.

This is the profile of player we should be targeting. I think we should go for 2 younger options at RCB to learn and compete with Schar.

 

The run he makes from his own half for an assist had me sold on this guy

Dunno about Jair Cunha, but if there was any chance of getting matteus cunha from wolves? He was unstoppable yesterday, really comolete player and does the legwork as well

Mega money.

[NSG]

Getting one or two signed in January could be the difference between CL football and no European football at all - the league is that tight.

 

Here’s hoping we can find something suitable.

I'd like to think we know our targets early 

[Lotus]

Will be very interesting to see what Mitchell’s strategy is (finances permitting).

[joeyt]

Be amazed if we sign anyone for the first team

If the right deal comes up, we'll pull the trigger. 

 

1 could be the difference between Europe or not, 2 could be the difference between Champs league or not. 

[Sibierski]

I think we will sign someone who’s a future prospect (like Tino/Hall type of player), knowing they shouldn’t be needed as a starter, but plenty of time to bed them in ready to replace Schar. 
 

RW will come down to an opportunistic buy. If a target is there that’s good value, we’ll make a move, otherwise it’s go with what we got till summer and no need to have to sell desperately by end of June to balance books.

[Astroblack]

Based on absolutely nothing but typing "most assists in French league" into Google, can we sign Ludovic Blas from Rennes? 26, right winger, 4 goals, 6 assists in 15 games. Wikipedia compares him to Mahrez. Never seen or heard of him, but going all Moneyball for this one. 

 

Looking more into him, 48 goals in the French top flight at the age of 26. Never had an international cap, now I really want him. Looks to have had a Gouffran type career.

Hardly a ringing endorsement

 Stopgap, in it,  €15.00m market value. Is left footed, though 

[loki679]

Are we talking normal left footed or Almiron left footed?

Normal left footed, looks very complete from the comp I just watched. A lot of arrogance, too, pen taker, free kick taker, drifts into midfield and plays diags. Seen enough, sign him up  

[Kanj]

Id put big money on Cunha in the summer. He can play across the front 3 and attacking mid. He’d transform us.

Agreed

 

👍🏻 Only way we sign someone is if we lose a first team player / one of the bigger named substitutes

Couple of project /youngsters 

 

Maybe Osula types but less money / foreign market

Instead of?

[toon25]

I think we'll sign at least 2 first-team ready players.

That feels like very wishful thinking my dude.

could play right wing, lcm/10. Could be main backup striker, and also play left wing too.
