The fee being mentioned is 69m
Not sure why all this talk of 100m
He isn’t a 100m striker and 69m would be a great deal for us.

You would have taken £25m for Wissa by the look of it. I’ll let Phil Giles decide what price he is. Out and out strikers are at a premium.

No minutes in two games and the Brazilians finding their groove without him, not great!

He only made his international debut a few months ago, he's probably just delighted to be in the squad! Still a wonderful achievement for him and the fact he even started a game is just a bonus.

Particularly as according to some alleged well informed journalists, Igor was completely out of the WC picture only a few months ago.

If he starts next season with a bang, he’ll keep on being called up.

There will be more difficult games ahead for Brazil, especially now that it becomes a knockout tournament and if it isn’t going well for Ancelotti he will call on Mr T to see what he can do.

Not seeing this unless Brazil get loads of injuries.
Cunha has clearly cemented his starting place with 3 goals in 2 games.
And Neymar and Endrick (not IT) came on when the game was in the bag.

Thiago only needs to score 1 goal , the winner in the final - that will make him the hero

That’s probably the best scenario for us. He’s gone to the World Cup, trained with some very good players under an exceptional coach, started a game and probably on the bench for the tournament with a pitch-side view, hoping for a few more minutes. There may be a game where Ancelotti sees the tactical need for a more traditional centre forward, so I’d assume he’s fully engaged in training scenarios.

If he’s back for pre-season fully fit, clear-headed and brings some new tactical knowledge, what more could we want?

Nope Phil negotiated a great deal for the club.
Just saying that’s what being said in various media outlets as in my post.
And think would be a great return for us.

I can tell you for a stone, cold fact that Giles fundamentally disagrees with your ridiculous valuation. Likewise anyone else that writes the same nonsense on a website somewhere.
 

Igor Thiago

The thought that £69m is a good deal is very flawed. We signed him for £30m, gave him a new contract that would have added to that outlay - we'd need at least £40m to replace him so effectively, we'd be accepting no return for a player who was the second highest goalscorer in the Premier League.

Why would we do that when the player has 5 years left on his contract?

lets not forget Wissa was arguable a better goal scorer having scored 5 more goals in open play than Thiago in his last season. A more clinical finisher in front of goal in his final season with us.

Sir, I curse your cold, hard logic!

There’s no room for any of that nonsense as a substitute for lack of transfer rumours at this point in the transfer window. 😉

Wissa was also pushing 30 and had just a year left on his contract

So tell me where you can buy a 22 goal PL striker to replace him for 69m..... I won't hold my breath waiting for your answer

Same place we always get from mr Benham’s
Super computer.👍

Cunha starts again. At this stage, to be expected.

Igor’s character has shown that the confidence he’ll have gotten from simply being named in the squad should outweigh any frustration that he hasn’t played more.

How he starts next season will be interesting. There is the possibility of course he’ll pick up from where he left earlier in the season, and whilst I think Agbonlahors assessment is utter rubbish, we may need to be a bit patient at times

What did gobby say?
 

Igor Thiago

Heard Tim Vickery talking about Igor on TalkSport earlier. Basically said he feels that his poor performance in the first game exacerbated the idea that Brazil fans already held that he isn’t upto it. Said he felt sorry for him and doesn’t expect to see him play again this tournament and blamed Ancelotti for managing him badly. Said he was shocked when he started that first game and thought it put too much pressure on him when he should have found his way into the team gradually.

Will get time tonight when their chasing the game 2 nil down
 

Igor Thiago

Can’t help but think after watching the first 30 mins off this game he would have a field day against this defence

The stupid thing is, it wasnt a bad performance.
Yes, he missed a decent chance,but worked very hard and its very hard to play well when you are dependant on service from 3 or 4 very greedy players
 

Igor Thiago

When Lee Dixon says that this Brazil team are atrocious out of possession in terms of pressing… sounds like it’s time for a certain brentford player to change things :LOL:
 

Igor Thiago

He’ll be on for the penalties 😉

Good summary tbf.
 

Igor Thiago

Only hope now is Rayan off, Martenelli out wide, Endrick in the 10 and Igor up top

I probably misquoted Tim Vickery there to be fair. He actually said something along the lines of he didn’t do anything wrong other than missing the header rather than he played bad. Basically was suggesting that he was set up to fail with anything other than a 10/10 performance.

Thats a fair assessment.

The number 9 for Brazil must be toughest and most widely watched position in the world.

9/10 isn't an option which is unbelievably stupid

Like any other struggling team, they spent the last 20 minutes flinging crosses at Japan’s defence and Brazil’s non-Centre Forwards…

Another match on the Brazilian bench for our main man 😞… fourth in a row. Just hope he gets some minutes this time. At least being on the bench means no injury risk

Thing is, Brazil have genuinely picked up with change of shape since taking him off and have had no reason to change it to include him.

Yes it’s true. Can see why. They’re starting with players who have delivered or seized their chance. Martinelli came off the bench and scored so he starts today. Just wish our guy could get his big moment. Morocco was a very tough fixture to start on.

I agree.
If it were Scotland or Haiti can imagine he'd have scored 1 or 2.

I thought they might use him against Norway’s physically imposing back two.

He did but he missed his big moment header in the first game.

If Brazil are 0-2 down I wonder if they use Thiago
