Player Gleison Bremer

[Pebble Dash]

This is probably on the money. Is the Ukrainian lad left footed?

No, right footed.

There’s 3 feasible options for me:

Badiashile
Ilya Zabarnyi
Ndicka

They’re all young with a promising future. Most have heard of Badiashile but I wouldn’t class him as in the same category as say Bastoni and Torres as he’s been in and out of the Monaco side.

​

 

[wrd]

Maybe he does. To be honest, that was a very limited assessment from me as I have seen little of him. So I could be very wrong.

Get bloody scouting mate, next project already has a topic

The club also has to keep in mind our HG quota so getting rid of both Tanganga and Rodon wouldnt be an option, surely Davies is an adequate LCB back up to not buy another one, we may have a bit of money but Bremer will still cost a bit and if rumours are true then Richarlison/Raphina won't be cheap either, almost 50m for Romero too although I am not sure if that would have been factored in before handing the budget to FP.

Yeah, I'm slacking!

The issue is neither present that 'ball-playing' ability that Conte requires in this system.

Davies has done well at LCB but the reason we wish to upgrade here is because Davies is not that player, he can't carry the ball successfully through the thirds neither can he play those first time passes.

Bremer and Badiashile both have limitations too.
It's a tricky one because if you go with Torres or Bastoni you have the perfect answer in attack but defensively you may be more exposed. Whereas Bremer provides the opposite.

I suppose those would be games Conte would employ a three in midfield with an Eriksen type to pick up the ball from deep and act more as a traditional playmaker. Bremer Dier and Romero as the three at the back.

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Not saying it’s happening, but Basiashille, Bremer, Romero, Dier and Davies is as good a defensive unit in world football.

Fantastic balance of ball playing, elite aggression and athleticism, height and power. Would put us right up there.

 

[robertgoulet]

Would be very intrigued as to how are back line would look if Bremer came in.

I've not seen enough of him really. Could he slot in at LCB? Dier has just had a brilliant season so surely he isn't dropped to the bench. Or can Dier move to LCB with Bremer playing in the centre. Not ideal as Dier isn't left footed. I just don't see how it would work.

The little I have seen of him, I cannot help but be impressed. I'm just not sure how we would line up.

I've known of interest in him from us, but I've heard absolutely nothing on this so really appreciate the updates @What Lies Beneath ??

There's precedent for Conte using a right footed LCB, he did it with Rudiger. For those matches that he thinks he needs that LCB to be left footed he could still utilize Davies there.

Also allows some rotation when Davies plays LCB bc Bremer can play the Dier role and give him a break.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Could Dier play at LCB? I know he hasn't but I'm wondering if he has the attributes.

Nah, not in my opinion. He's definitely the middle man.

​

Ndicka would make the most sense for what we want and the budget, as well as the need to perform immediately.

We might have to get used to signing players even though a player in their position is doing well, it's a weird feeling right now

The exciting part is that before we would sign players when we already had similar in a position despite glaring weaknesses across the pitch but this time it feels like we know the gaps will be taken care of.

I've watched a fair bit of Bremer. Absolutely outstanding. He isn't a LCB. Yes he can slot in there, so could Dier, so can Sanchez, Romero etc but he is a CCB. And a fantastic one.

Lets not focus on who fits where. Its a squad game when you get in Europe and there is a potential for 50/60 games.

A local reporter close to Torino has said we want him and he would come to us, no Inter agreement. Didnt send in as it went through aggregator so who knows.

Also wanted to add that someone previously said Badiashille isnt a ball player and limited. Thats absolute nonsense. Very good on the ball.

Lenglet a possibility surely?

Liverpool cope rotating Virgil, Konate, Matip. City cope rotating Dias, Stones, Laporte. I'm bloody sure Spurs can cope rotating Dier and Bremer!

 

[robertgoulet]

Totally forgot about him. Would be a good punt!

Rodon is not HG in UEFA competition (Like Davies)

I can see Bremer and Lenglet loan but if Sanchez Badiashille swap feasible then go for it.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Yeah, that's the same assessment I came to. However, in the video I made/posted earlier, his ball retention is very low. There could be reasons behind this and I'd need to watch him more consistently but when I watched his passing from the left side, he's definitely more 'off-balance' so he could be pressed and that could cause plenty of turnovers.

Whereas Bastoni would have that ability to glide past or pick an accurate pass out, even under pressure.

One thing I will say though, is the lad can burst forward with the ball so it could be one tactic to offset his passing limitations.

It's a tricky one I fully agree.

Some of the stuff both Bastoni and Torres can do would be an absolute joy to watch in terms of in possession. I would worry about them being targeted in big games however which could be costly in the hunt for trophies.

Whereas Bremer looks an absolute monster built for the PL and the kind of player that could keep you in the big games but might be an issue in those stodgy games against lesser teams when the rest of the team aren't on it.

I think when you look at someone like Rudiger and how well he improved at LCB under Tuchel I'd be tempted to go for Bremer as the safer bet. Bastoni and Torres are so classy on the ball I just wonder if they'll ever get that real hunger for defending that Romero has for example.

Badiashile to me also looks a good fit for the PL on the physical side whilst also having that left foot. Still young but with massive potential.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

In talks for bremer if he comes a lesser profile lcb will come in with him. Passed on further details to the mods earlier

No we need to save some cash for that juicy forward lol ?

Been thinking this is how we would go once the Bastoni train ground to a halt. We were linked with Bremer early, but seemed to go quiet once we started sniffing around Bastoni and Inter had Bremer in their sights as his replacement, almost like a gentleman’s agreement was in place that we would back off Bremer if Inter were prepared to do a deal on Bastoni. Therefore we would go big on LCB, and perhaps RCB/CCB option would be more budget.
Now Bastoni is/could be/will be off the table, I think this is where we step back in for Bremer, he can compete/cover both Romero and Dier, then we go second tier for LCB, be that Torres into some kind of deal with Lo Celso, or perhaps more likely the previously mentioned Lenglet on loan deal, way less risk.

Romero, Sanchez/Tanganga
Bremer, Dier
Lenglet/Torres, Davies

I could see that working, and would leave some budget left for other priorities.

 

[TPdYID]

Excuse my ignorance but if Badiashile is as good as everyone is making out, and assuming his parent club (Monaco) are also aware of his talents. Why would they be entertaining a swap for Davinson Sanchez.

This isn’t a Sanchez put down btw, before the guardians of the forums start hinting at my negativity.

 

[delawarespur]

Fantastic defender. He is actually nearly a Romero clone. Think he has a bit faster top end speed about him but maybe without the otherworldly anticipation and base positioning (Bremer ofc isn’t poor in these areas). I don’t see him as a fit for LCB personally. Mainly because of his left sided progressive passing not being great and that being a major cog in Conte’s build up down the left (CC @rossdapep). But he can definitely carry the ball very well and if Conte sees him as a LCB option than that would be his main asset for that role along with his aggression. Might be the best pure defender on the market, and is too good to not be playing nearly every game. LCB is the position where he’d probably have to play to get that game time, and just up to Conte if he sees that as a good plan.
