Classy player, his vision and through balls of all types is exceptional it really is. Marega has a field day from him and Vardy would as well. He would fit in well here as a narrow winger, a 8/10 in our 4-1-4-1 / 3-4-2-1 Link to post Share on other sites

StriderHiryu 18,965 Posted 18 January Report Share Posted 18 January Seems like the Milan fans got in first with the "welcome to X" videos Jokes aside, he's a really good player. Would be great for squad depth for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

As @Kilworthfoxmentions, he also played both games against us in the Champions League. That was a real battle against them, though I don't particularly remember him standing out. That was a long time ago of course and I am sure he has developed, after all Porto had a player called Ricardo was it? Turned out to pretty good apparently! Danilo stood out that day as a CDM for them, and recently went to PSG where he's been doing well. So in general I tend to think players from Porto tend to be quite good. Ricadro, Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Dias are also 3 good imports from that league of recent years. I imagine this player ends up in Serie A instead of here, as Italian clubs are hard done by for funds for transfers, so will be looking at free transfers instead. But we signed Ricardo, so we can definitely offer a very competitive salary if it came down to that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 8,790 Posted 18 January Report Share Posted 18 January Always liked this fella and kept my eye on his career. Aggressive midfielder, great a through balls with a bit of pace but weak in the air. Reminds me of Koke a bit - He could be utilised for us on the right of a front three (Where Under isn’t right now) but can also play across the middle so may be a good player to sub in for Youri role in order to rest him. Not scored very many goals, just three I think this season out of 20 appearances. Not certain we are in for him - might be just paper talk. I’ll keep you all updated.

AjcW 5,737 Posted 18 January Report Share Posted 18 January I think the 'would he be a replacement for' chat isn't neccessary. We've got great depth in defense. But our midfield and attacking midfield/forward line is severely lacking in depth. So this is the ideal sort of addition. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
