We need two DMs. Bjarnason should be nowhere near the team and Hourihane isn't good enough to fill in there at PL level. Nakamba is more of CM not a DM.

We do these things correctly now, it seems. We were happy to announce big Wes and Trezeguet before they had their approved. I wonder are we less sure about this one getting through?

AV82 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I wouldn't say Nakamba affects this deal at all; we need 2 midfielders who are more comfortable than Hourihane in that crucial DM role. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Man City found to their cost, but our situation is slightly different and we believe that gives us a better chance of getting the said work permit but it's no certainty.

I thought he was more box to box than that? from what i have read about him, which could be wrong ofc, he can play DM, MC and to even a more forward MC, however i have also seen numerous times that people seem to think his best position is a DM role that is a modern DM, ie, time on the ball, can break forward when needed, classy passer etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read he's talked of as future player for Brazil sitting in front of the back 4 so in rest of the world football terms that's false 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a player that the world's richest team and Champions League winning hopefuls deem good enough to spend big £££ on signing in order to improve their team. Even if it's for 2 seasons.

Luiz is more of a deep lying playmaker. He dictates the tempo and orchestrates the team, like a quarterback in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
