[RUMOUR] Bruno Peres

Apparently we are interested in Bruno Peres from Roma, alongside Brighton and Galatasaray.

He was originally a right back, but was converted into a right winger by Roma (very much against trend in the modern era).

I thought he was brilliant at Torino and has plenty of pace and skill (I think he had the top successful dribble rate in Europe at one point).

Definitely worth signing if we can get a good deal, despite Femenia's form.

Welcome to Brighton.

 

Surely in our favour, we are more Prem established than Brighton, we have two Brazilians doing well in the squad and a Portuguese manager?

Against, our tendency not to actually bid and to try to get players on very favourable loans.

 

Welcome to Galatasaray.

 

Yes, Peres would be a serious purchase and we'd have to compete hard.

 

True.

But Brighton already have a player called Bruno, which might be the clincher.

 

Have you ever taken a job because there was another bloke called Mike working there?

 

A right back who converted to a winger, rather than the other way around, as it is in most cases, sounds like the ideal WB, as his defensive qualities should be ingrained.

If he has sufficient quality it would be a yes from me.

 

Weren’t we in for him before he went to roma?

 

We were indeed. Happy for him to come in as a winger but it's another full back that isn't great defensively. Seems pointless as Kiko is probably better than him anyway. But if it gets Janmaat out of the club then great.

 

100% of the jobs I've worked have had a 'Mike/ Michael' as an employee.

Make of that what you will.

 

He will certainly fit in if this is anything to go by http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club...tletico-as-bruno-peres-endures-torrid-evening
