Claudio Bravo

[mosssideblue]

He needs to start on Sunday otherwise his debut will be away at the vermin.

I would love him to start on Sunday and if he arrives early enough this week (assuming it happens this week), then no reason why not. I think if its Thurs or Fri, then I think not - just my opinion though

 

[bumbleblue]

I would like him to get a home debut before he goes straight into a derby at the theatre of shit.

Funny how your pogba post in the rag thread appeared on here at the same time it appeared on ragcafe. But hey carry on the act cheeky chops, the floors yours.

Maybe because it's posted at the same time on twitter by the guy on twitter that does tactical breakdown of our games against sunderland, bucharest, and also did a long preview on our tactics with pep in the preseason?

He's the one that posted the Pogba video. So again, please stop quoting me. Stop craving my attention. Stop derailing the thread.

How much of a life do you NOT have that you went to the rags cafe to check the post time and compared it with mine hahahaha. And I'm the polaroid flower? Please.

You can see why he fits in on rag cafe.

He really should give Villatalk a go.

I think buying a keeper like bravo is not gonna make any difference at all. Why not use hart or cabba. Bravo has shown many mistakes borh in club and national team.

 

[Erling Haaland's Eyebrows]

We'e had some incredibly dumb arguments on the Transfer forum but this one really stands out. Maybe time to talk about where the hell Bravo is?

Bravo, well said. Perhaps off topic would be better

-Bravo has made far fewer mistakes than Hart as far as I can tell, definitley fewer than Caballero.
-Bravo can play out from the back, something neither of the others can do, which is integral to Pep's playing style.
-The best manager in the world, a footballing genius, clearly thinks it will make a difference.

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Play out fok the back. Please define that for me?? So hart can not play out from the back is what you saying???

 

[g180aj]

Gundogan is a brilliant signing. I only mentioned Bravo because it's a one man position whereas we have Fernandinho and Silva who can play in CM who are on a similar level. Likewise with De Bruyne and Sterling, both have improved our team/squad but we have a lot of options in those areas. Goalkeeper was a position that needed a massive upgrade in my opinion, very excited about this signing.

I see your point but I still believe you are massively underestimating Gundogan, he is amongst the best centre midfielders in the world currently.

I agree, transforms our midfield.

Playing out from the back; the keeper being confident enough to pass it short to a defender whilst under pressure from the opposition players, rather than kicking it long to our small striker/wingers.

Caballero has been preferred to Hart as he's been deemed superior in this aspect, yet watching the Stoke game alone you'll see far, far too many instances where he kicks simple passes straight out of play. Could Hart do it? Unlikely given what we've seen of him over the many years he's been here, distribution has always been one of his weaknesses & clearly Pep has decided he won't be able to reach the required standard.

Watch any video of Bravo & you'll see he's far more comfortable doing this, watch any Barcelona game & you'll see the same, he's at home with that style of play. It's blindingly obvious why we're after a keeper like him.

Add on top of that the statistics you'll find on this thread that seem to indicate Bravo is a better shot-stopper than Hart & it's hard to come to the conclusion that this is a bad bit of business, especially for the quoted figures.

You can't say that for certain, I haven't gotten involved yet.

Someone bring me up to speed.

Credit to you for answering that, mate. Was a couple of ridiculous posts that didn't deserve the measured reply it got.

I honestly thought he was taking the piss (not the poster who responded)

No it's what our manager says.

Yeah, not everyone is as clued up as the majority on here though. Took the effort to check his past history to make sure they were legitimate questions though & I think they were aha.
