    Santa Clara president says he’s pretty much a done deal and going to sporting.

    also rumours we are trying to sign Paulinho a striker from leverkusen and st juste a cb who also plays in the bundesliga and known for being very fast and strong

    I’ve already guaranteed the
    Bicampeaonato but with these moves I can now dream of being tricampeao

    Paulinho from Leverkusen is more a winger than proper striker. Hasn't lit up the league over there yet but is still 21 and could thrive in a place where he speaks the language and feels closer culturally. He seems to be playing more though in the second half of the season and is putting together a more productive stretch of games lately

    Man Amorim has a fetish with guys named Paulinho.

    Still it would be funny to see 3 Paulinho's at the club

    Yep, all the Paulinhos and imagine if that Bruno Paulista guy from a few years ago worked out

    Idk the scouting so far has been pretty good with Amorim, to me he looks like a worker bee kind of player. Seems to also have some acceleration with the ball at his feet. I don't think he'll be a starter right away, likely a backup to Matheus Nunes probably just a replacement for Bragança, as Ugarte and Essugo will probably be the defensive midfield options.

    Saw some article that Amorim is thinking of a tactical switch to 442 or 433, not to be the main formation but as an alternative when the need arises. I think the 343 has been good defensively but the better teams have started to figure it out and we should be able to change on the fly during a game.

    Also a rumour that St. Juste has already been in Lisbon and spoken to us about a possible move. Allegedly Sevilla and Monaco are also interested. He seems to be very fast (fastest recorded speed in the Bundesliga) which would complement Coates and Porro really well IMO, one is slow and the other likes to attack and needs a fast CB that can cover for him.

    Sounds like Slimani is done at SCP…. So we will need another striker for next year. That went sideways in a hurry yikes, so strange…. He doesn’t seem like the kinda guy that would take days off and mail it in at training, but that’s how RA sees it.

    Has anyone actually ever returned here and it not turn into a catastrophic flop? I can think of Nani the first time but that’s it.

    Maybe Joao Mario on last season's loan where fwiw he played most of the matches

    But yea return players have typically been bad: Tiago Ilori, Fredy Montero

    Lesson learned, dont bring back former players.

    Talk of Tiago Tomas coming back. Really hope not, we should let him play in Germany. He's getting plenty of minutes and even scoring some goals.

    Dunno if Amorim really wants another target man, he seems to prefer forwards that are either more mobile or drop deep to link up play. Think of Liverpool and Man City's attack, without a clear #9

    Amorim said today that this season we lacked 1 on 1 on the wings when Porro was injured and its something we have to correct in the next transfer market.

    He probably means the left side, but playing Esgaio doesnt help either. Also I wonder what happens with Vinagre, are we actually buying him for 10 million?

    This is true and some of us mentioned this issue. When Porro was injured, that was our worst period of the season where we lost to Santa Clara and Braga

    Playing Esgaio is like playing to lose. I don't pity Amorim because Esgaio was his ask, and we overpaid for him. That's on him..

    Looks like Esgaio is gonna look cheap next to Vinagre. I have hopes but he's so predictable and looks totally out of confidence. Always the same movement and cross, almost never cuts inside or does something different.

    Stuttgart are in 3rd last place in the Bundesliga with 2 match days to go

    If they end up relegated then Sporting have an option to bring him back or decide if they want to let the loan run until the end of next season

    Rumour is that we've accepted to pay 10M euros for St. Juste, and negotiating personal terms with the player. Direct access to Champions League was the deciding factor.

    Also, Amorim is pressing the board to keep Matheus Nunes one more season. He wants both Matheus and Inacio to stay. Palhinha is transferrable.

    Supposedly we have 40 million budget this summer to spend on improving the squad. I wonder if this also includes the purchases of Porro (still no confirmation on this) for 8.5M euros, or Vinagre for 10M...

    Good news, hope next season his fitness is better. Good release clause IMO, the City clause is low but atm I don't think they want him or need him there.

    When asked again about Slimani, Amorim was clear that the issue is done, the player is not part of his plans for next season.

    Porro is a reasonably good player for someone his age. Being able to stay healthy will be critical though in terms of impact he has on this team

    Sweeeet. Just what we needed. Can't rely on Feddal or Neto.

    I'd even go after another CB, since I also don't trust Inacio.
