If it turns out he’s actually in the building, that’s a massive step forward, when you compare it to other deadline day deals like Dybala etc.

Personal terms can’t be an issue and fee must be nearly there..

CCV didnt either whatsoever. Ange turned him into the most crucial part of that defense & someone who I wouldnt be shocked if he's 1st choice in the US national team soon enough when fit.

I thought we might be linked with him actually in the final hours today.

Yeah, although which building “the building” is hasn’t yet been established…

great to hear that this is a possibility. we need a 3rd potential starter in the worst way. He brings a different skillset to VDV and Romero so offers flexibility from a tactical perspective. Will be an interesting matchup wtih Haaland if it happens.

I'm a bit worried about how he would do in a back 4.

He's been at his best in a back 5.

He's miles better than Sanchez/Dier though!
Agree, he is much more comfortable in a back 3. As a defender he is significantly better then Sanchez and Dier especially in regards to interceptions and reading the game from a defensive point of view tho. That ability to clear up attacking threats is what made him CB of the year in 2022 for Torino but that was playing in back 3 not a back 2. But looking at how much VDV has improved us defensively AND going forward i still I just don't think he's tactically a great fit for us.

That being said if he was HG i'd much more open to the idea of taking a gamble on Ange managing to develop him. He is 26 tho so not sure how much his game will be changing at this point, CCV was like 23 or 24 when Ange started working with him no? I know thats only 2 or 3 years difference but I do think it could make a difference. All in all he is a good defender, I don't question that, just not sure he's a good fit for us... but then again I guess beggars can't be choosers.

If there is a smidge of truth to this - I have no idea why anyone would poo-poo on the idea. He's a top class defender. Fine if playing it out the back isn't his best trait. Don't care TBH. There are 9 other players around him that are more than capable. And guess what? Not every single game will be us on the front foot. We will need great defenders against teams like City and Arsehole. The guy is a fucking baller.

Regardless if he's a good fit or not, could we even buy him without at least two of PEH, Ndombele, Sanchez and Dier going? I haven't been keeping up to date with our non HG limit today aside from knowing we are still over the limit I think? I guess we could not register Dier and Ndombele but still I struggle to see us bringing in Bremer if Sanchez is still here.

If Ndombele goes to Turkey for CL football.. *eye roll, then it won't be time dependent, Turkish window closes 15th i believe.

One of these things? I have no idea if I selected the right stats for you though I just clicked defendery sounding ones😅

That said if you ignore all the other stats, he played less mins than Dier last season and from that had more errors leading to goals, more yellow cards and gave away more penalties. And we complain about Dier being a liability 🙄 /s

if there was any actual chance this is remotely a possibility someone in media would have picked it up by now .

Stats can kind of be misread though right? Say for example if Dier didn't attempt many tackles, he wouldn't have committed errors leading to a shot or gave away penalties (this is rhetorical btw), whereas if Bremer (who I never watched) played with a more aggressive defensive role, these other things come along for the ride. I think you want more a ratio of these downsides of aggressive defending to the number of tackles, blocks, etc.
