He was pictured on the grass albeit not in group training so I assume he wouldn't be doing that with crutches....I suspect we will be taking things slowly so I'd be surprised to see him in a squad before December to be honest.
Possible on bench by end of November one would hope

I'm sorry, but I need this confirmed. Wasn't the only member of ZZ Top who didn't have a beard the drummer; whose name was Mr Beard? Please help!
Frank Beard. Dunno whether he ever grew one at some stage, but usually clean shaven,
To be fair, that was 33% of the band that didn't have beards

Probably what Bruges fans were wondering when he moved from the Bulgarian league to the Jupiler Pro League. He smashed it then, no reason why he wouldn't now.
Not much difference between the Bulgarian League and the Belgian League, big step to the EPL.

Any case my remark was in reply to will the EPL be ready for Igor, so I think you deserve this. :whoosh:

Seeing our two Brazilians on the clubs X account makes me think they are very close to appearring (or is that just wishful thinking?)

Not sure I agree with your league rankings but will accept the whoosh if I've misunderstood your comments mate. By the way the difference is 20 places which is the equivalent of the Premier League to Serie B in Italy.

Looking at some club ranking numbers around that statement, found the below:

- The difference between the top Bulgarian club and the top Belgian club (Igor played for both) is currently over 100 places.

- The difference between the top Belgian club and top English club is less than 60 places.

Interesting to read that our ranking is very close to Club Brugge.

I think we're already setting this guy up for a fall...

Record signing, never played at this level, out injured for months. Yet many seem to think he'll be straight in, holding it up, scoring, muscling others off the ball and picking all 6 lottery numbers. Every week.

Hope all that happens, but it's going to take at least a few months.

Whilst I agree, goal-scoring is not really the hot topic at the moment.

no but a presence up top tonight would have won us the game. The last 10 minutes we couldnt get any possession in their half

Someone that has the physicality to hold the ball tonight up top would've been hugely beneficial to help us have an out ball.

I guess that's what £30M does for you ?

He better be good for that money ?

It’s a fair point made by yourself and @maddogging although the ability of our defence and midfield to take some real care with their passing in an attempt to string together at least half a dozen of them would also have been helpful.
 

Igor Thiago

One of the things Ivan used to do so well for us wasn’t just holding it up, but drawing fouls, getting us breaks in play to calm ourselves down and get a grip. Just someone with some sort of presence would be a huge help, the goals don’t have to come immediately with Thiago as we know we have others that can provide that, but the ability to put himself about will be a huge help, especially on nights like tonight when we seemed intent on giving the ball away at every opportunity.
