Vinny Souza.

[Alex Cheeseright]

To flw's question...not bloody likely!!

 

[Groucho Blade]

How much of his transfer fee will they have paid us? 50%?

Will we have a sell-on clause?

 

[Pintor75]

Overated, championship is his level atm , top flight is a long way off, at best he's a Hull target

 

[Jan Age]

If there’s any chance of getting Souza back we have to explore it … great player the previous season ….

Prem was hard to judge as he was in a terrible team where the wide players never did their job which meant he was constantly lulled from the middle area and left with too much ground to cover…

 

[Bell4]

Until they started getting injured.

Or fighting

He contributed to that terrible team by his lack of effort, please don' t make excuses for him.

Have we ever signed a player who matched his stats so perfectly?

A monster of a defensive midfielder with virtually no progressive capacity whatsoever.

Maybe Tom Cannon? Basically a spectator who takes an occasional shot.

Absolutely this. Great DM at Championship level, but that’s all you get. Zero attacking or creative output. Could still fit in with the right type of player alongside him, but that’s something we currently don’t have.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Surely hes in the Brazil World Cup squad isnt he ?

With someone as good as souza is as a dm it doesnt matter about his attacking or creativity. You can have hamer (or similar) more central in a free role with a proper box to box midfielder in supporting both.

Souza mopping up and protecting the defence & stopping counters, when hes got the ball all he needs to do is play it to harmer or the other midfield pairing.

It would also allow us to have various formations, 4231, 4213, 433, 4123, 4222, 352, 3412... all with souza anchoring the midfield & Hamer attacking centrally (free role/duffy role).

But we go down this route we would need to sign a good back up to souza/someone to challenge, as if hes off day or injured its pretty much integral part of the system down.

Absolutely this. Nothing wrong with being purely a stopper as long as you have progressive players around you.

Doesn't matter anyway. He'll have plenty of interest from the Bundesliga and La Liga. Too good for where we are right now.

If your right and left midfielder don’t help mate (which they didn’t) it makes you look a fool with too much ground to make up in the centre of the park

That’s true, but he visibly gave up when it got hard.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

There's not a chance we can afford him, btw. The sooner we put this rumour to bed, the better.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

I liked him. He was nowhere near as bad as me out to be in the PL but probably not as good as he was made out to be in the champ.
