Igor Thiago

[Windmill Rd Bee]

Just extraordinary levels he’s hitting right now. Don’t want him anywhere near the squad on Saturday!

 

[jbee]

I bumped into Rio Ferdinand after the game and I asked him: "What do you think of Igor Thiago?"

His response?: "Ballon D'Or, Ballon D'Or, Ballon D'Or, Ballon D'Or. Ballon D'Or." He is right.

 

[JosephBFC]

How well did he take his first. I don’t think there was anyone in the stadium who thought he’d miss when he was put through. Clinical when he has space, I’d argue a better finisher than Ivan

 

[mundee4england]

Both finishes were so intelligent tonight, not just ‘hit the target’ but thought through! I’m loving the goals and points he’s delivering but almost starting the see his goals in £££s (sorry Nick!). Long may it continue!!

 

[shaun]

Imagine having to defend against him. What a nightmare.

 

[kendo]

I thought Toney was class on the pitch…not so off.

This man is a class above in both aspects. A Brentford legend already.

What a beast of a striker!

He’s not even close to being the finished article either

That's wild coz I bumped into Les Ferdinand tonight and asked him "what do you think of QPR?"

His response "Lead Balloon, Lead Balloon, Lead Balloon, Lead Balloon, Lead Balloon."... He's spot on!

 

[chrisbyrne8383]

My favourite part of tonight’s game was him staying down for his injury and getting the medical team on when we were 3-0 up.

He knew exactly what he was doing, straight out of the Ivan Toney sh*thouse book. Such a lovely bloke, but we need someone who is a bit of a bastard to lead the line.

 

[AlwaysBees]

My life long friend whose face was sadly among the pictures of fans who have passed worked for UEFA , Bruges was a team he was covering and in his opinion back when Igor was there he said Igor was an upgrade on Toney, I wasn’t sure but now I believe him, god bless

 

[LongLostBee]

Back the Big Man.
Team Thiago.
Toney mark Two.

Barring a few miscontrols, from slightly overhit passes, I've not seen him look anything other than good for us.

If we sort out the rest of the midfield/attack, which bluntly has been a mess/mish-mash of players (or just playing minutes for fitness if you prefer), then he'll be fine.

Back the Big Man.
Team Thiago.
Toney mark Two.

Love this boy as I have from his first game.

Parties like a Brazilian when others chip in and score a goal.

Night out on me whenever you want Igor.

We can leave the Mrs’ at home.

Calm down everyone!!!

Gabby Agbonlahor, the font of all footballing knowledge on TalkSport this morning generously saying that Igor is worth about £50M, because all he does is score, and doesn't offer anything when he's not doing that.

So I'm sure Phil Giles will snap Villa's hand off when they come in with a £45M offer during this window.

Is Talksport a listed charity btw? What would these poor people be doing with themselves if it didn't exist.

As opposed to this Sunderland fan on their forum after last night's game:

"Thiago is a super centre forward mind. Not just his goalscoring, but his workrate, his physicality and his holding up of the ball to link and bring his team mates into the game. They'll make an absolute fortune on him."

Maybe TalkSport should give him a call??!!

If you watch the full match replay of the Muff game the co commentator Efan Ekoku stated that Igor is slow for a centre forward!? At one point after he had left Marcos Senesi trailing in his wake Ekoku mentioned that he was treading water but Igor still wasn't quick. Yet another ex pro stealing a living in the media.

Since when do any of these "experts" need to actually watch anything/anyone in order to form an opinion?

 

[Westlad]

Stop bloody scoring!! He's just too good!!

Madrid will be putting £100m offers in at this rate.

Would we sell to a champions league rival though?

 

[w6bee]

He will be playing in the Champions League next season….

 

[BuzzingBee95]

His second (feels great having such a deadly striker you have to clarify which of his goals you’re referring to) is one of my favourite so far.

Seeing a striker score a purposefully precise and measured finish is so good on the eye. It’s his range of goals that is so impressive too

 

[LostBee]

Have a read of pages 93 and 94 of this thread and you'll realise that it isn't only the pundits who get their player evaluations spectacularly wrong!

 

[Frothybaby]

What a fabulous player and seems to.be improving each game. I understand the Greaves mantra of it doesn't matter how fast it goes over the goal line, but does Igor have a hard distance shot as part of his arsenal? He walloped the ball when scoring on volley against Manure, but just wondered if this was an area he could.improve on if needed.

This one is the best:

He's a Hofmann -style carthorse. We'll be down by Christmas if we persist with him.

He might but historically speaking has always had a short average shot distance. A long range shot is mostly unnecessary because his scoring opportunities are going to come primarily in two ways - on a break where he needs to have a clinical finish around the keeper, or in the box where he needs to be the first one onto the ball and finish with it on net.

Tim Vickery (Brazilian football expert) now saying "he's put himself in the conversation" for Brazil WC Squad.
But "very difficult today" as Brazilian Press are still asking "Who is he?" and, once again, it's unusual for a player who's playing for a "minor club" to get a call up to the National side..........
Ancelotti still 'loyal' to Richarlison.
Igor Jesus having a "pretty good season"

Last chance will be for IT to be called up to Brazil squad in March for games v France and Croatia.........

I just listened to same segment. I was very suprised to hear that Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus has only scored 1 goal for Brazil since 2019 (in a friendly match agains South Korea)

Ah yes, Igor Jesus with his *checks notes* 1 goal this season playing at the mighty *checks notes* 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

Thiago scored more goals last night than IJ has all season.

IJ "has scored in Europe" seemed to be Vickery's justification for him being higher up the pecking order.............

 

[PGH_Bee]

Not just that but he is well known in Brazil. It is apparently a big deal that the player is known in Brazil or has played well there, and unfortunately for Thiago he left early and before he had made any sort of name for himself.

I'm guessing Thiago's for Brugge (most goals in European competition for any Brazilian that year) and the Conference League Young Player of the Season don't count for much

It would appear not.
As per @PGH_Bee 's post, unless you've "done it" in Brazil, or at a "Top" club, what you do elsewhere seems to count for little...........

All Thiago does is score latest:

could we see Ancelotti at the Gtech for a match to scout Igor?

More likely Paul Clement would scout at the Gtech.

 

[GuyBee]

So I believe his contract runs to2028. Do we have a year option?

Qualifying for Europe this season is our best chance of him signing an extention IMHO

2029 with a 1 year option.

Brentford sign forward Igor Thiago

Brentford complete the signing of forward Igor Thiago from Club Brugge; the Brazilian has penned a five-year contract with the Bees and will join the west Londoners on 1 July; Thomas Frank: “Thiago is a very exciting striker who fits the role in our team”

[Gazza Bee]

He is the nearest thing to Haaland in the PL IMHO - can play in behind, holds the ball up, scores headers etc.

Key difference is that he works damn hard too - will be our first 100m player IMHO.

 

[taxi driver]

I'd like us to play the ball into his feet more often

But then again we are 5th in the Premier league doing it Keith's way

Yes. Aerial to Kev, but feet to him. Him to run off Kev's flick-ons. (Toshack - Keegan )

Number 4 in the Premier League Fouls Committed list, according to today's Racing Post!

To be fair he should be high in the fouls committed against list too but he gets nothing from refs

 

[grepo]

Who partnered Dave McCulloch in our 1930s First Division side?

Holliday? or Hopkins.

I'm being a bit selfish but id rather Igor have a nice holiday this summer and put he's feet up
