Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[George94]

Just seen on Twitter that he has more followers than we do (Spurs)...

What? Most of Sissoko’s starts have come in CM this season. Mainly on the right of a CM3.

So on the right but not on the right. Got it.

Looks great in the video. Hope there’s none of that pre-game center circle praying bullshit when he’s here though.

Do it in the changing room ffs.

Or pointing to the sky when he scores.

If he scores for us he can point in any direction he fucking wants.

Such a weird comment. Like, who cares?

Muhhhh religion etc.

There. That's that over with, let's not talk about it any more here.

Because psg have just signed neymar and mbape. They need to raise €70m before the summer to comply with ffp. Moura didn't want to leave in the summer so psg have frozen him out.

I look forward to reading many "FFP Moura! " posts in future match threads.

Eriksen needs to sort out his free kicks (shots) cos this guy is gonna get alot of fouls

 

[scat1620]

I swear this world is going mad. First Trump takes office and now an 18 year old is going for €100 mil+ (Mbappe). Does anyone else miss the simple days when teams could pay £5 mil or less for a talented teenager that may not pan out?

I miss the days of buying Simon Davies and Matthew Etherington for a combined £1.2m. I miss the days, mark you, not the football...

But we have to reach 100 pages somehow. Normal discussion about Moura was never an option.

Agree! (I was going to give you an 'agree' rating but we're 28 pages off signing him)

 

[cider spurs]

As the much appreciated ITK has suggested. We might well be signing Moura.

I'll reserve judgement as to whether he'll be a success or not until he has hopefully signed and been afforded a reasonable amount of game time to adjust to the league.

What I will say, if he does indeed join Spurs, it certainly gives us a chance of strengthening the team, we wouldn't get this chance by signing nobody at all.

On that basis, at present, can't be seen as anything other than a positive from me.

Time will tell.

 

[SpursAddict]

Would be very happy with this signing. A sign of ambition and would improve the squad in my opinion.

 

[tiger666]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I saw a picture on twitter of the clubs website which showed Lucas will wear the #9 shirt for us

He's too late

 

[Lilbaz]

He's too late

Didn't know squad numbers went up to 6669.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

From the YouTube clips he looks slightly better than N'Jie and GKN

What really swings it though is his potential back flip goal celebration

Could be the best celebration we’ve seen since Jose Dominguez

I’m in

He probably bought them.

 

[ardiles]

It’s not like he’s coming in to replace the likes of Hazard or Mahrez in our squad so there’s no argument about comparing him to those players.

Sissoko has had a lot of playing minutes this season and if Moura is given those minutes when we (if) sign him, then I think it is an upgrade. Even if he doesn’t start so often (with our injured players back in the squad), it’s still an upgrade on our bench.

I hate these lazy comparisons between N'jie and GKN. Moura is a player with 228 appearances for PSG and 36 Brazil caps, N'jie and GKN were both players who only made about 40 appearances each in the French leagues. He is a level above, he was a regular player, starting most games for PSG in ligue 1 the last two seasons, despite having competition from Pastore, Draxler and others.

Yeah and a gallon of petrol cost 6 bob.
