Ederson

I know, YouTube blahblah, but purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr looks some player

 

[jordibwoy]

He isn't really attacking although he does have 5 goals this season as he does get into the box from time to time but he is more of a reserved player. His passing isn't adventures but he will try the occasional through ball, quite a few side to side passes, but he does hold on to the ball well and can dribble. Not like Bentancur but more that he will push the ball past players and use his strong physicality. Not that he has bad technique tho. He rarely looses the ball. He is a very physically solid CM that has very good positioning and defensive awareness. 100% can see why Ange would like him. He's a vital part of Atalanta's team.

Would be in the PEH mold then. Someone to come on and sure up a lead or add stability when needed. This is what I think we'll miss if/when PEH leaves as it's the one thing he's consistently and quite capably done well this season.

Description overall sounds very Rodri-like which I like as a player of that ilk is so valuable. It's also why I liked the links to Fofana (Monaco). A powerful midfielder with good athleticism and defensive instincts while also being technically very good

 

[Snarfalicious]

Think this is the guy we will go for if we can move on PEH. Just seems like he’s a good fit for what we need, and offers us the flexibility to maybe go for a younger talent for the 8 role (realistically replacing Skipp in the summer).

Given it’s Italy , I can see Fabio pulling one of his “loan with an obligation to buy” deals.

 

[nicdic]

What sort of player is he?

 

[Misfit]

Much more sense and value than CG imo

But not HG, neither are Werner, Dragusin or Nusa. It’s gonna be an issue.

A football player.

One of the them potentially could be

we Only get 4 association trained slots. Any more is just like foreign.

Maddison, Johnson, backup GK, Davies. (Sess, etc)

Eventually Davies will roll off, but we’re prob at least a year or two away from that.

not a reason to way overspend on a player like Gallagher vs other midfielders

Under 21 players won't count in our 25 man squad, and Nusa would eventually become HG

 

[razor1981]

One of the them potentially could be

Nusa could go on the U21 list for the Premier League until 2027/28, but then would be non-HG. Its already too late for him to ever qualify as HG for PL squads.

For UEFA comps, he'd have to be registered on List A for 2024/25 and 2025/26, but i think would qualify as club-trained thereafter.

 

[mil1lion]

We've got out 4 non homegrown (Sanchez, Lloris, Dier, Perisic) since the summer window so don't see it being an issue. Nusa would be registered if we sign him now so becomes homegrown and counts for u21 for a couple more years. Dragusin will count from next season and Werner is loan only atm but we already have the space to register them both in the over 21 non homegrown list in the summer. Sarr goes above 21 next season but is homegrown too so that helps.

 

[Misfit]

But not HG, neither are Werner, Dragusin or Nusa. It’s gonna be an issue.

Yep. Maybe they simply keep Skipp around or promote from the youth for the squad option. Or maybe they get CG as well after shifting out PEH or something, but that seems unlikely/too good to be true.

To become homegrown includes the season they become 21 (the end of the season during which they turn 21) so by my maths Nusa would be homegrown for PL

A player needs to be registered for 3 full years before the end of the season during which he turns 21. Nusa will be 21 on 17th April 2026, which means he would need to have been registered at the start of this season to eventually qualify as HG.

Sign him up

Ali reporting our interest now as well

I do love a Brazilian defensive midfielder.
