Joe. Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 It's all looking very nice on paper, that's four promising centre-backs we've got to compete now.Five if you count Hobbs, but it's quite clear he won't be with us for the rest of the season now. Hopefully he'll find somewhere to give him what he needs, it's for the best for now.
Thracian Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 From what I've seen, which is not a lot, Bruma looks like just the sort of quick, footballing defender I've looked forward to seeing in our defence. His inclination is to pass the ball on the floor with pace which should help us break effectively. He also has enough skill to perhaps make some openings himself.. Exciting times indeed.
marbelladave Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Can I ask what makes you consider that? Bruma is right footed and most likely to play right center back, Bamba's position. Bamba has been reported as being a very effective defensive / holding midfield player. Our midfield is fragile and easily dominated, particularly away from the Walkers. Abe looks likes he could do with a break, last 2 games he was quite poor.
Edmund Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Loving the Dutch revolution at Leicester. Sven and Ancelotti are obviously good friends.
B52 Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Excellent.... I know he is right footed as he can also play right back, wonder if he is comfortable in the left central position?... Or is he just cover for Bamba and Naughton?... Maybe Bamba is going to move into midfield?... God it's exciting being a City supporter, a little unsettling too, on ocassion... :beer: Both he and Bamba can play in the midfield if Sven wants. More flexibility in the squad.
blue army 1988 Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Can I ask what makes you consider that? He played there for Hibs a few times
MC Prussian Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 Cue the obvious "Bruma, Bruma" chants, which will add to the general confusion should Bruno play, as well. So, as for the Hobbs situation...
Leicfox Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 He played there for Hibs a few times Yeah he did, and alot of there fans think its his better position. Bruma is a great signing imo.
Leicfox Posted 11 February 2011 Posted 11 February 2011 From a Chelsea over on 606.... Just in case you don't know Leicester fans, Bruma is a ball playing CB who can take a free kick as well. He's a;ready played for the full Holland national team at 18 and was playing reserve football and captaining the FA Youth Cup side at an age where mostplayers would just be starting out in the academy. He's compsosed on the all and good in the slide tackle, can read the game well. His positioning can sometimes be questionable but he's barely 19, that will come with experience, and he might need a tall CB to 'protect him' as he's not the tallest or the strongest.
Kent Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 I got Bruma on loan for us on Fifa 11 ages ago... great minds think alike I guess Sven.
Matt Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 How is this lad at Chelsea albeit sent out on loan but how did he manage to blag a contract there?!
Tommy G Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 He played ok today. Nowhere near as bad as mee, king, yak etc
Guest bennytwohats Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 He played ok today. Nowhere near as bad as mee, king, yak etc Indeed. I thought Bruma was solid today, definitely one of our better players.
Kent Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 How is this lad at Chelsea albeit sent out on loan but how did he manage to blag a contract there?! I thought he was fairly decent today? Compared with most of our players today anyway.
Matt Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Right just to clarify he wasn't our worst player, that's not what I was saying but the point remains I still havn't got a scooby doo how Chelsea thought he was worth a contract with them, if he's their future then they will be going downhill. Maybe they just thought he was worth a gamble for the future if not offload him to a lower premiership/championship club.
Webbo Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Bruma had a decent game today, probably our man of the match.
FoxesFan123 Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Dropping Vitor for this guy is one of the most bizarre decisions I have seen in a long time. Can you imagine what the players must be thinking, knowing that's it's not a good performance that keeps you in the starting XI, but whats in your contract
Simmo86 Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Thought he was decent. 10x the centre half Bamba will ever be

Maybe they just thought he was worth a gamble for the future if not offload him to a lower premiership/championship club. And whoever selects the Dutch U21 team too? I'm sure some pretty important people see a lot of potential in him.

Secondly, he's a decent player. What exactly is it that has spurred you to make this point?

What exactly is it that has spurred you to make this point? Frustration. Not necessarily at Bruma, just at the team, Sven's tinkering, and just commenting on my opinion.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Was one of the worst performers today. Yet he is one of Svens favourites, so has to play. Certainly is no better than Vitor, or Mee when he is at CB. How he is at Chelsea I dont know.

Matt Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Matt - just stop being a coont for once What? When it's fact? Are you telling me I can't even state facts now?
