Looks a very decent prospect for attacking midfield- get him signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Eddie Howe is a beautiful lying shite. Never believe a word when it comes to transfers and injuries. He's mentioned FFP prior to every window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we all know weve announced some commercial deals so im guessing around 80m for jan window. (Hopefully ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Really hope that the reports of us negotiating with Flamengo are true and that we can get this Matheus Franca. Seems to have it all really. Take the obvious attributes aside I like how good his balance his for a guy of his size (184cm?). Still seems to be strong and have a low centre of gravity. Sounds like a player that likes to press and do defensive work too. Honestly never seen him before until I read up on him and did some Youtubing. To me it feels much more genuine and exciting somehow when the club unearths gems that not everybody has heard of or know much about. In short summary, creating our own legends, instead of signing big name middle age players from the top English clubs for example. Players that will grow with us into proper stars. I even see Maddison as a player I’d like even if an English top quality player already. Wouldn’t want the likes of say Rashford, Sancho, Pulisic or similar players as much.

KaKa Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 The Matheus Franca link has really freaked me out, because he was a bit of an obscure signing that I made on FM 23 a few weeks back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking the likes of a Maddison, Thuram etc ? Say we got the likes of Perrone and Franca and whoever similar then I wouldn’t be too disappointed really. Hoping that we get one or two youngsters and a transformational signing too though. Even if “only” one top class player that player would make a difference both in quality as well as the belief and mentality within the team and club and fan base. Not gonna be easy but there is a genuinely good/decent chance of top 4 even if I’m not expecting it. Top potential and top quality before quantity please. Don’t see us bringing more than a maximum of 3 at the most, and rightly so. Most likely 2 is my guess. Unless a third for RB cover maybe.

I just can't see the owners not wanting to allow a decent opportunity slide by (even if it certainly wasn't planned for in terms of our current league position). Getting into either the europa league or especially the champions league, means that they can increase the revenue for sponsorship/commercial deals by a fair margin and be able to justify this with the pricks at the Premier League.

Whitley mag Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Enzo Fernandez and Bruno in the midfield would be the dream combo. Highly unlikely but we can dream, still feels like we need another top drawer attack minded player for the 2nd half of the season. I’m sure Isak will give us a huge shot in the arm when he’s it, that’s why an attacking midfielder like Fernandez or a wide player like Mudryk would be the dream signing. All for unearthing these young South American talents though, will save us a fortune in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were sitting 7th-10th I think I'd be ok with a few future prospects, sitting in 3rd with a chance to get into the top 4 this year, I think it would be daft not to try and make a proper go for it with 1 or 2 statement signings.

We need to be doing the kind of behind the scene work to have us recognising this kind of talent at that stage, not at the stage he is at now. Can't really fault your post and this part in particular I agree with. Think we're going to be signing a lot of players nobody has heard much about and the idea will be to get them at the stage Napoli did Kvar last year of Brighton got MaCallister. Just think we also won't be afraid of making the odd splash signing if the right player presents themselves and this guy looks like the kind of winger Howe would create in a video game to be the perfect fit for his system. You're probably right in that it's unlikely, but the idea we've no chance seems wrong to me. Think we're gonna make some head turning signings over the next year or two.
