Igor Thiago

Igor Thiago

He continues to exceed every single expectation I (and I'm sure many others) had of him when he signed. He is already comfortably the second best striker in the league in what is his first proper season for us and in the PL. That is f*cking absurd. Long may it continue.
 

Igor Thiago

Saw his interview on Sky this morning - such a humble guy but that is a result of his upbringing where his family had nothing much like a fair amount of Brazilians.

11 goals eh - tracking for 30 but I'd take 20 🤣 hopefully his injury isn't too bad but a quick turnaround so he might not make Arsenal which in all honesty is as big a free hit as you'll get.

Coming along quite nicely I'd say.

Second in the charts to some bloke called Haaland
Four goals clear of Welbeck who is 3rd

Only mention of crutches I have seen is on Twitter, just one user. Might just be trying to get a rise but I’m prepared for a front three of Nelson-Schade-ouattara against arsenal… honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see a back 5 anyway away against them

Nelson can’t play.
Probably we will go 5-3-2 anyway, but especially if two of our forwards are unavailable.

Such is the care PL clubs take of players, he would have been air-lifted to his bed for a slight bruise to his thigh.

I think we've learnt that a player leaving the ground in a orthopedic boot or on crutches is just super-precautionary.
 

Igor Thiago

If Andrews says it was precautionary then that's good enough for me.

Proof of the crutches please or I'm calling BS.
 

Igor Thiago

Only just picking up on the potential injury news, fingers crossed just a precaution. Fine for Wed if we have Schade and Ouattara as a front 2 though if he needs to be rested.

Toney scored 12 goals in his first PL season
Mbeumo only made it into double figures once, last season
The one who plays for Newcastle only managed 14 in his first 68 PL appearances

Igor is going to smash records. And then smash some more records.

What’s the famous Brian Clough line… Phone me back in five minutes, double it, and I’ll say NO!
Jeremy Cross Chief Sports Writer Daily Mirror said:
Aston Villa bosses are eyeing a surprise move for Brentford’s strike sensation Igor Thiago. Villa boss Unai Emery has targeted the Brazilian as a long-term replacement for Ollie Watkins - also signed from the Bees by the Villans.
The Spaniard had been keen to sign a new forward since last summer, but still haven’t secured a like-for-like replacement for Jhon Duran since he left in January. Now Villa could make a move for Thiago in the January transfer window - but it won’t come cheap

Like most of these religous types God only plays a big part when he scores. When he doesn't score it's never Gods fault.
Never understood the logic myself.
I hope I never have to claim on my car insurance, but it’s worthwhile to have a back- up, just in case.

There is a theme of commenting about Thiagos obvious references to his beliefs in his celebrations . All not complimentary. Never saw or heard any when Mbeumo and Wissa did them . I wonder why? I think I know.

Mods - I always thought that religion was a no-go on the Grapevine. If so - can we now stop all references to IT's (and others)religious beliefs - it's a purely personal thing and absolutely no concern to anybody else.

I don’t recall that being a rule or coming up before. Not saying it shouldn’t be as it’s probably equally likely to cause offence (intended or not) as politics.

Just love the guy. He is so hungry, and it is really contagious. On another day he puts away another one or two of the half chances he has (one of which was a superb block by the Burnley defender) and it's a much calmer afternoon. Just a beast... his holdup play is also starting to look every bit as good as Toney's was too.

On track for the record number of penalties in a Premier League season. Just need Dango to keep winning them!
It appears to me that Dango has a unique talent of being able to run at rapid pace yet just as a defender approaches to challenge he can for a couple of strides go up a gear.

What's that then ? I seemed to think he didn't do an awful lot but still managed to score two goals, have one disallowed and blaze a great chance over from 6 yards!

Like political comments, it says more about the poster than the subject or content.

I’m starting to wonder if I’ve been in a 12 year coma, and this is all a dream, the latest episode is our centre forward being Brazils World Cup #9.
And then I wake up and I am really watching Mike Everitt's Team playing in February and March 1974 and wondering how we were possibly going to avoid Re-Election to the Football League.

It was not a comment about his performance. I was referring to recent barbed comments made about ITs obvious faith related celebrations e.g. 'Did God also make him miss that penalty?' which was made after last week. Mbeumo and Wissa also made a point of faith related responses after scoring but no comments were made.

OK, maybe not a rule - but generally accepted as a no-go subject. Either way - can we now stop it.

Regardless of this pen chat, let’s not forget. In Ivan’s first Premier League season he managed 12.

Igor has 11 in 13. 11 in 13. It’s his first season. He’s one away already

Show me the list of strikers who have started better in the top flight.

A missed pen is frustrating, but the guys scoring and then some.

It was clear from watching Igor Thiago on television playing for Bruges that the Bees were signing a forward with great goal-scoring potential. Those responsible for the signing may therefore not be surprised by how things are turning out although they will no doubt be extremely pleased.
