Bruma

Hmm.... I don't know much about him... Apart form the fact I signed him for FM a few years ago as an understudy to Lennon.

Lots of pace down the right with not much end product? Does sound like Aaron..

Breezer isnt he supposed to be doing well this season though? Or are the stats not telling the full story?

He's been providing pretty well I think but I've seen him play twice and he's really no different and definitely not better than Sissoko, Son or maybe even N'Koudou

dont know anything about him but if he's another project we already have Nkoudou and Njie.

apologies in advance to anybody with any affiliation to Turkey, but the country is a shitshow and I'd would want to get out of there too. I don't think there is much in it.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the sentiment but criticising someone for their style when taking on a player seems very odd. Who cares, as long as he regularly beats his man? Bale was hardly Maradona, he's the most successful kick and run merchant over the last few years and is one of the best in the world. It's extremely effective in some cases, if a lite basic looking on face value

You make a good point but when we already have Sissoko and Son doing the same thing and both of them have other qualities that are a lot better than Brumas, I just don't see the point. It's not like he's shown that he's a good crosser or marksman either like Bale. It would make a lot more sense if we were after someone with more guile that's good in tight spaces.

I signed him and Viktor Fischer on FIFA a few years ago, as young backup for my wingers, and both were awesome. Why haven't we signed either of them yet???

I agree, I wasn't speaking specifically regarding Bruma, personally I know nothing about him but I've seen it said a few times from various people and it seems a bit snobby (for want of a better phrase).

Sissoko is a bit like Bolasie I feel in many ways, a bit unpredictable and unorthodox looking but I suppose that's to his benefit. Son maybe less so 'gangly' looking but isn't necessarily fleet of foot like coutinho for example but still relatively successful.

In my opinion we don't need to, and we won't anyway, make a signing this January. Our players who weren't quite on form early in the season are beginning to click now and it would cost significantly more than we would be willing to spend, in order to improve our squad, let alone first XI.

Agree with previous sentiment. Save the money for a good player rather than another with potential. We already have edwards to fill up the next winger/AM spot available anyway. Don't need to put more players ahead of him. Nkoudou will be good i think anyway, kid has great skills and a good head
