Transfer Rumour Yacine Brahimi

Smithy89 · August 28, 2016

If we sign this gem I'll give it a matter of weeks until everyone is lauding him and thanking god we've got him.. I keep reading this nonsense about his attitude and him not working hard.. Payet. Mahrez, Mata, Silva and the likes are all not the most hard working of players either

I want him. I want 50 million wingers in the panel. We need more wing type players. We don't have enough of them. We should sell more of our strikers and buy more wingers.

He'll play behind Lukaku.Koeman won't put him on the wing,He's mostly played for Granada and Porto as a number 10.

To be honest I never saw him play. Just you tubed him there. No idea if he is any good. If koeman wants him and we can get him I'm happy

I'm not sure because I managed to watch the majority of Porto's game a few seasons back because I had a little man love for Brahimi, Oliver Torres and Casemiro and personally only ever saw Brahimi play from the left but it would be interesting where we would play him if we got him..

He's a huge upgrade on Mirallas and Geri

To be fair, if the money's there get them. RK wants cover for every position ie 3 GK's, 4 CB's. Why not 4 wingers/forwards?
Prem is a hard league and you need cover, not just for injuries but, the sub that comes on should be equal to what goes off.
Sounded good that because for so long we've had a bare minimum squad, a patch job sometimes, hopefully he gets the players he wants.

I watch lot of La Liga and remember seeing him for Granada and thinking he was decent and even remember him being linked not long after Martinez took over.

As far as Mirallas goes I think he'll do well under Koeman and by all account Koeman likes him,hopefully he can bring a bit of consistency to his game.

He's won the African player of the year award ahead of the likes of abameyang yaya toure and others He's really rubbish isn't he?

Can you enlighten us when this was won? This year was won by abameyang with yaya second and ayew 3rd. And yaya won it 4 years a row before this year.

For the figures being talked about I would expect far more goals and assists.

The jury's still out on Bolasie for me.. I don't want to be overly critical on him until he settles and plays more games but so far I've been impressed.. Brahimi is far more technically gifted than Bolasie though but having both on either wing would be really exciting i think

Love the way our fans argue about the value of players, lets just stick to players under 8 million.
