CONFIRMED Vinícius Souza

[Keen Blade]

Akpom?

I think we need 2 midfield creators before strikers.
After that we need to grasp the nettle with Jebbo & Osula and decide what we want to do with them.
Then make a realistic assessment of Brewster , McBurnie & Traore.
Then sign at least one quality striker who will be in the eleven.

That's not how it works is it... have a dig at his actual foul stats and stop been a dick

Read 5 posts below it. Then apologise for calling me a dick

I've said several times on here over the last few seasons that Norwood would be a million times better with a big shithouse next to him doing all the dirty work.

Yeah I think Norwood is just about ready to tackle the EPL now.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Cos he's never been there player?

Depends what you want, Spanish love flair players, their hero is Sergei Darder, this bloke isn't a flair player, he's a worker, a winner and giver. As I pointed out, something we've seriously lacked in midfield for a long time.

If you look at La Liga stats, his defensive stats are unparalleled.

Is there somewhere I can see - or better still can you post it on here for everyone - his stats compared to others in La Liga last season?

In fairness to Norwood, having Souza doing all of the dirty work (tackling, interceptions etc) might allow him to focus more on creating the chances we know he can create.

Directing more traffic?

Great input

Great input

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Defensive numbers yes..... Offence is a completely different story.

Like comparing Wes against Bogle though.

He won't be in the team to do that.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Well he’s a defensive midfielder so that will explain it

Spot on

 

[Bladesman]

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Even David Frain put more oomph into a tackle.

Bollocks he did. Complete wimp.

I've had a few but what was the name of the Scottish player (who scored the winner against Villa in the FA cup) who couldn't tackle the skin off a rice pudding??

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Whoop whoop.

Ptogress

 

[MCRBlade]

Presume this will be announced in the morning

 

[Macfarlane21]

Just need to get that video squared away now

 

[Stretch]

Just need to get that video squared away now

Announced in a week's time then...

Ryan Flynn.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Announce Berge gone first, then give Souza the 8, sorted

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Ryan Flynn.

Well remembered. My mind has been numbed by excessive alcohol.

Ryan Flynn. I've had stronger wet farts.

Compared to everyone in top 5 leagues.

Defensively you'd struggle to find better.

 

[Ron_Justice]

£11m (ish) rising to £13.7m. Spendy.

 

[bertieblade]

Hope he is fit as he will be the hardest working player in the squad

Not La Liga but some comparisons I posted earlier in the thread.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

What's a steering wheel contract??

Compared to everyone in top 5 leagues.

Defensively you'd struggle to find better.

So he wins the ball and plays it sideways or backwards?

Apparently he likes a crossfield switch aswell which is probably why his passing stats aren't that superb.

Gives us the option of driving straight off a cliff when Souza has 12 months left on his contract here. Nothing new.
