MikeyBoro 373 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm positive one of the ITKs on here mentioned we were interested in Rafa Silva during the Summer before our PL campaign, so he must have been a target for 2 years atleast. Might have been RAF Smog who said it. He was regarded very highly back then at Benfica and I remember thinking it would have been a coup to get him in. Not sure what he's like nowadays mind.

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeah he couldn't have played anyway at the weekend because of the rules on concussion. Also doesn’t explain the managers comments Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Would rather have Wallace than Saville! Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I reckon we can pull this one off tbh, doesn’t get much game time for them, doesn’t seem to be any other interest in him and we have money to throw his way. I also think he’s the kind of player someone like braithwaite would be happy to see come in. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyBoro 373 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think he'd replace Braithwaite. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think he'd replace Braithwaite. That’s my thought process as well. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 That’s just annoying if that happens. Just seems 1 step forward 1 step backwards. I know it’s not our fault if he’s choosing to leave, If we got silva and Powell fair enough but braithwaite just seems on another level this season. Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,311 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think he'd replace Braithwaite. He's much more of an out-and-out winger isn't he? Link to post Share on other sites
RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Can we just maybe not get rid of Braithwaite Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyBoro 373 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think he'd replace Braithwaite. He's much more of an out-and-out winger isn't he? Looks it but I think Pulis is still open to changing the system. This system seems like more of a "get the best out of what we've got" and he'd prefer more of a 343 I reckon. That said the current formation has been remarkable so far and it'd be risky to change things around. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeah he couldn't have played anyway at the weekend because of the rules on concussion. Also doesn’t explain the managers comments Can you find me a link for these comments? Link to post Share on other sites

We were after him. Where’s the link come from? Been away for a few days so haven’t seen anything. From all the players we’ve been linked with this summer he’s by far the most exciting.
