He's Brazilian but has opted to play for Portugal instead too so he should have no problems fitting in with some of the players! He has played all over midfield, so seems a very versatile player. Recently he's played most as right midfielder in a 4 4 2. He has played LM and CM / AM lots too. Can see him operating as RM or LM of the midfield 3. I still have seen no real links to him though from us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever we get for that role will be cheaper, or cover more than just left back positions, and possibly both. The money we have to spend needs to go on a number 8.

I wonder if we'd go Ramsey - Kamara - Otavio for our midfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If the plan still is for the CM's to cover the flanks then signing a mainly wide midfielder to play in CM maybe isn't as strange as it looks. He'd certainly increase our ability to play a possession based football. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as much chance of us finishing bottom 10 tbh, that mid table area which is what we are is very open to many fans see it as black and white it’s far from it who’d have had Brighton, Brentford and Palace finishing above us last season? Just to open below the top 6-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw the speculation was " rubbished" due to him being a " winger ". However I then came across a couple of Podcasts, articles and breakdowns which actually make him seem more like a very versatile EMI Buendia. Can play all across midfield /forward areas, tenacious, defensive pressure etc and technically good. He's a bit of a midget though lol.

Sorry: " Little person " That's what I thought as well and @sne mentioned a good point about how our shape is, it would make sense getting a guy that has played as a wide man to play as one of the 8's. So long as his work rate is good. Also to your point Santi Carzola had no issue changing from a 10/winger to a CM/deep lying playmaker. I've wondered if Emi could play that role as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
