We were linked to both in the same article if I remember rightly… either way like you say doesn’t look like we’ll be welcoming either 1

Danny280995 Posted 11 August 2021 Posted 11 August 2021 Nothing to with it, it could be a target for January or next summer

Good shout to be fair. At least I hope it isn’t Taarabt…. £15-20m of the queens would secure him I reckon. Edited 11 August 2021 by Pliskin

He used to be my go to on football manager around 2014/15 (Assuming it's the ex Roma player). If the game is accurate by now he's more than capable of 40 PL goals a season 1

Would not surprise me if we do go for him, we do this get linked to a player and then a season or two later swoop in again. He wouldn’t cost much and has clearly been well scouted.

Yes he can, but worth noting played 160 games on the left compared too 60 on the right and 60 odd down the middle. Not sure he would be cheap, has a contact until 2024, would be around the 20m mark.

I think he’s one of those players who will just kind of crack on with his job no matter where you put him in the advanced MF area. It seems clear that Rodgers doesn’t want a right sided speed merchant more of a technician, as we saw with Ünder and Perez to some degree. Between £15-20m would be about right I think. If we can offload Praet and potentially Hamza that could allow for a move. I agree with @Ric Flair though, we’ve scouted him before and it’s the sort of signing we’re likely to attempt. 2

He’s probably a slight quicker Perez? He sees to be fairly productive for Benfica. Probably way off the mark to be honest, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we enquired. 1

bald reynard Posted 11 August 2021 Posted 11 August 2021 Other reports agree our Scouts were there - but were looking at Rafa Silva, the Benfica right winger.

STUHILL Posted 11 August 2021 Posted 11 August 2021 Our scouts go to a lot of games. Can't read too much into it. They are undoubtedly looking at a player or two, but I think we are likely to already have a well scouted shortlist of players drawn up for this window. This may just be at the early stages of scouting a player. 1

He changed the game for Portugal against Hungary at the Euros, his pace and pressing ability would suit us although admit I haven't seen alot of him. 1
