I do find it somewhat funny and ironic that we didn’t sign Nusa due to a reported issue with his knee… meanwhile Thiago has missed so much time with a knee injury.

I’ll still trust that the team had made the right decision.

But Thiago didn't pick up his injury until after we signed him...

By the by it’s interesting that Nusa is playing regularly for Leipzig and also scored twice for Norway this week.

It’s such a shame that we couldn’t proceed with his transfer. Hopefully Nunes will do just as well and be less of a fitness risk.

Yes, although in his last appearance with Brugge, Nusa ran into Thiago’s knee and caused an injury. I have wondered a few times if that could be connected, and didn’t turn into a full-fledged injury until he started playing with intensity again

He seems like he’s generally a happy chap.

Going by some of his goal celebrations at Club Brugge I hope we’re going to be ready for when he scores his first goal at the Gtech. He’ll probably end up in the crowd and get a booking, of course.

And with his size and enthusiasm I can see him getting more bookings than goals in his first few games.

Really looking forward to it, though.

He may well have a long and injury free career but that absolutely doesn't mean that we would have been wrong not to have signed him.

You have to think about probabilities at the moment of decision not outcomes post decision. For example, if someone jumps out of a second storey window and emerges unscathed that doesn't mean it was a wise decision to jump!!

Fuming if he doesn’t wear 99! Not too late for website to change. He only played pre season
We don't do it in England - i think i read somewhere, only academy graduates are allowed numbers above 50...

Scorer of my first Brentford goal no less. But I was only 8 and looking away at the time so I couldn’t tell you if he scored (against Cambridge) with his head, foot or ar$e!
Interesting. I think we signed him from Cambridge iirc.

Pretty sure there’s some sort of PL rule that prevents players from having non academy players having excessively high numbers. Plus we’ve already cost Schade his song to give him 9 ?

Sorry to pour doubts over everyone - normally I'm the most optimistic person around. But let's not build up too many hopes on Igor. I'm sure he's going to be as great as well all expect - but let's wait to see him get hat-tricks in his first three games (or even one in each of his first three halves) before we start throwing out the superlatives.
Sorry.

That’s the spirit ! ?

Don't get me wrong - I really hope he's all our dreams come true. But let's wait to actually see the guy in action (remembering what TF says about him in training games if you want).
In my case, until I've actually seen him I can only dream.

Oh come on excitement is good, it’s positive. There really is no need for the ‘now, now children calm down’

We've splashed THIRTY MILLION on him. Think he'll be fine ?

I agree, I to am sure that Thiago will be fine, yes the club have paid a record fee, and we anticipate a step up in forward power. I also agree with the previous poster, who counsels caution. Igor has not played a single game yet, should produce performances below expectations then he would not be the first record signing to disappoint. There have been numerous examples of record signings failing so let’s look forward to Igor playing, but hang fire on elevating him to superstar status until he has played a few games.

He played the first half of the pre-season friendly against Wimbledon and scored twice. Impressed me (if that means anything!)
