Maybe the only way we pick up a “wonder kid” is when they are a smashed vase? Seems perpetually injured.

How was he for Swansea last season? Don't remember it being a Donovan type loan signing for Sheff Utd

I actually saw him playing for Swansea a couple of times having a relative who's a Swansea fan and have to say for a Premier league player playing in the Championship he was totally underwhelming.

Spoke to a Swansea season ticket holder at the festival I went to this year. He said he didn't think Nunes was given enough match time and that he did ok, but needed more time, which he wasn't given.
 

Gustavo Nunes

It's difficult to understand that he couldn't make the bench on Tuesday but could last Saturday 🤷

Keith gave a fair account of where he is at though.

Lets hope he kicks in a bit and challenges our wide forwards 🤞

He’s with us until January so he needs to get his finger out and change all the sceptics into believers

Problem is, he has never been "a preimier league player", he is just a player bought by a premier league club.

He was a teenager contracted to a PL club hardly a PL player

There’s an awful lot of negativity on this thread, sincerely hope that at some point he is able to give a Churchill flick to the protagonists.

We all hope that. Equally, we note that he has to date failed to get regular game time at a mediocre championship club and was not able to get onto the bench for a cup game where many second string players were involved. Of course everyone wants him to succeed but those are the current facts…

Wouldn't be surprising.

Grêmio academy graduate who was sold to Brentford-ENG, Gustavo Nunes is expected to return to Brazilian football in early 2027.With few opportunities in the Premier League, the forward is considering, together with Brentford-ENG, the best business model.

Gustavo Nunes has already received interest from Palmeiras. In mid-2024, Grêmio sold the forward for 12 million euros and retained a 20% stake in his economic rights.

Unlike Rayan at Bournemouth It just hasn’t worked which is a shame and probably nobody’s fault.

I would assume that he has been properly looked after in terms of assimilating into a new culture and country but his progress has been crippled by injuries and long absences and he has barely figured or even looked like challenging for a first team spot and I really can’t see that changing.

Perhaps a fresh start is required for everyone’s sake.

He also said it was highly unlikely that Igor would ever play for Brazil..........
Let alone got to WC.........

(But has since slightly redeemed himself on that one........)

Aren't all player signings a gamble, particularly a teenager from a foreign league. MB and PG have said they can't really apply their data modelling to young players due to lack of playing time at an appropriate level.

I doubt he knew that he'd immediately get injured and then get injured again at the start of the next season too! Nunes has just had rubbish luck.

if that is the case , maybe the club will not want him to go and may try to get some thing from their investment in game time

Maybe so. I'd like every signing to stay and fight for their place...but (unless the rumours are total BS) my guess is the player might want to pack up his toys and go home. Hasn't had a great time of it let's face it.
In that scenario we might accept it, and just try to recoup as much money as possible, rather than keep someone unhappy (who might be justifiably thinking they'll not even make the bench with a certain Mr Donovan to add into the mix next yr).

Am I remembering correctly, I thought he arrived with what was described as a minor rib injury, only for it to materialise as cracked vertebrae before even kicking a ball! The poor guy hasn't had luck on his side, but hopefully he's beginning to get properly fit now, so maybe we should give him a go in the 1st team now to see how he performs. I know he's been on the bench this season, but what are the chances of him getting on at the moment?
 

Gustavo Nunes

Good that he had a decent game.

Let's not get carried away though. It was against what is going to be non-league opposition in the summer.

Can't see him getting any minutes in the first team any time soon.
 

Gustavo Nunes

Reads like he’s got between now and the window closing, to finally make some impression. He has to make sure that opportunity arises. It's not long, but Igor will be missing, and at the moment so are DaSilva, Milambo and Carvalho. They’ll all be available soon, so it’s now or never.

Correct, he arrived injured with an alleged rib injury caused in his previous game. This was found to be incorrect, as presumably on an examination by a Specialist he was found to have a stress fracture of the back.

It does look, at first sight, that he is not even getting regular B Team time!
