Put it this way: if we sign Braga, he walks into the team and changes the dynamic. I'm not pretending to know what DM wants, but you can see why a signing like that would be a no-brainer. Some of the takes I've seen from our own lot just don't add up.
Stop romanticising the past
We get way too hung up on ex-players and old managers. Cerny? What has he really done since leaving us — two moves that didn't land, by his own track record. Fans act like familiarity is everything, then argue against bringing in someone who has just been recognised as POTY in Scotland. You can't have it both ways.
Squad balance matters more than sentiment
There are calls to loan Curtis back out when we plainly lack width. That makes no sense. If he's our best winger and we don't have depth on the flanks, sending him away is the kind of short-sighted decision that costs points. You don't strengthen a squad by hollowing out positions you already struggle in.
Be constructive, not just negative
Truth is, a lot of folk are quick to shout down signings without offering alternatives. That's no use to anyone. If you don't want Braga, fine — say who you'd sign instead and why. Otherwise it comes across as knee-jerk negativity. We should be weighing real squad needs: who adds creativity, who gives us width, who can finish in tight games. Braga ticks boxes in that regard, so the calls to reject him feel daft.
To be fair, no player is perfect. The guy might fade in a few matches — plenty do — but he also ran parts of the league when he was on it. Don't let nostalgia or spite blind you to simple squad sense.
