Summer Transfer Window Discussion

[Bluebridge]

A combative and hard-working player, he usually played in front of his team's back-line, where he mainly served as a defensive foil for his more offensive teammates, due to his aggressive tackling, as well as his ability to read the game, break down plays, mark and anticipate opponents, and time his challenges. In this role, he connects the team by serving as a link player as the ball is circulated. He is known in for his positional sense, tactical discipline, intelligence, energy, and ball-winning ability. On top of his defensive prowess, Florentino is a composed passer with an excellent understanding of how to link attack and defence. He is highly accurate with his passing, upon receiving the ball, he is exceptional at analysing which pass is the best option based on the position of his teammates, the position and body shape of the defence and the spaces available. He uses various techniques to study his opponents moves before deciding to challenge for the ball. He tries to read his opponent's body posture, the pressure he is under and what passing lanes he has so as to cut them off – before eventually dispossessing them. His playing style has led him to be compared to Claude Makélélé and N'Golo Kanté.

Taken from Wikipedia so he may well have written that himself

Sounds like the perfect long term replacement for Gana though if all that's true.

sounds like the best ever player in the world reading that.

Seems odd, they’ve only just signed him on a permanent after joining on loan in January

Unless they think they can rinse us for a load of cash

[Free Agent]

Maybe there was a relegation release clause ?
Can’t say I know much about him

[Granite]

May well have been an obligation to buy.

Just hope he isn't a Branthwaite replacement.

Holgate/Keane/Godfrey out in any order and this guy in wouldn't be bad business.

However, having said that I didn't take much notice of him last season so I don't know if he's good or shite.

God I hope not. Absolute plodder.

God I hope not. Absolute plodder.

No way we can afford him. Think he would do well under Dyche. Has been one of Juve’s best players since he got fit.

[Shogun]

Esteve is a young and left-footed CB, he'd absolutely be JB's replacement.

If Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Tatanka had a baby.
