Maybe it's like the game where you have to pick players out of Gerrard's body without setting the buzzer off. Do it and the signing is secure, fail and the player goes to Newcastle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'll probably have to do some more research, but I'm not feeling this one ATM if I'm honest, especially not at the money being quoted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings is utterly woeful at attacking setpieces which is just bizarre given his size and stature. Haha. Was thinking exactly this at the Palace game. Mings was marking their goalkeeper when we had a corner. Surely he should be attacking the ball crossed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Yeah this doesn't sound great so far. More errors leading to a goal than anybody in the top 5 leagues. His FBRef looks awful too. He's next to one of the great young CBs coming through this generation (who, tbf some of his FBref stats aren't amazing but his ball-playing stats on there are phenomenal). Whilst Brazil have had some very good CBs over the last few years, they aren't known for their defensive superiority and the likes of Wesley (different position I know) have had call ups when this guy hasn't. All of that for the money quoted is huge. But I don't watch a lot of Sevilla and they always do well. So maybe we should trust the scouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted May 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2022 Are we preparing a bid or putting the finishing touches on one or has one been launched ? Is there sufficient in our war chest ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe we should trust the scouts FBRef is a great resource but I find it a bit redundant to judge CBs off of, especially if you've not really seen them play. Their stats are dictated more so by the club they play for than any other position really. For instance VDV outside of aerial battles ranks among the worst in Europe on the rest of the defensive stats but we all know that's far from the case in reality. He's highly regarded by more or less anyone I've seen speak about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe has to do with him having his breakthrough relatively late, just a few years ago. And Brazil having players like Marquinhos and Thiago Silva of course. Still a bit odd tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I imagine the price will be 35 mill +5 mill addons. Very similar to the Emi Buendia price. If it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 So is the primary issue with him his FBref stats? Or is there more to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive stats are a bit misleading. HIs passing is some of the best in the league, and as SG wants a ball playing defender then he fits the bill. As for Brazil, i've no idea why he's never been called up. Their best defender is a 37 year old so who knows, they don't exactly have many difficult matches bar Argentina.
