Just been on Sky Transfer centre 

 

Tim Vickery - about 5 mins ago 


He was talking about a similar player last week that he was surprised no big/English clubs had went for that sounded perfect for us. Played for Fluminese. Think it was André.

If he is like the Joelinton type, just imagine two Joelintons either side of Bruno. Unstoppable   :sweetjesus:

If he's doing the right kind of work that's exactly what we need.


I agree to an extent. We need a proper CM for sure, we need bodies in and someone sitting a bit deeper. Having said that, I think it’s wiser to go for a player with proper top quality and technical ability, awareness and vision and not one that is a good “workhorse” alone. A midfielder that has great positional sense and technical ability while also being good defensively is what I’d be looking for, even if that player isn’t the finished article yet. We are quite poor at retaining possession overall, especially in our own third once we have won it back. Bruno is the only one we have who is press resistant and has the technical ability to get out of tight situations. He easily gets very isolated because of this and the opposition often wins the ball back easily and we are back defending deeply again. That is why I would be looking to sign a player more for the long term if we can’t afford the ready one now. 
 

Having said that, I’m basing this on Ederson being more of a workhorse than a technical playmaker from deep. I haven’t seen him to make a judgement on this but iirc I think I’ve read about him. Could be wrong like.

I can't see us buying any midfielder who isn't decent on the ball, we aren't even buying defenders who can't bring the ball out. What we need is a deep lying midfielder who can sit in front of the back four and plug any gaps when we lose possession. We don't really have a specialist no 6 and that was why we showed interest in Phillips I would think. He'd be exactly what we need from a defensive POV anyway.
