Glad to see he's doing well. For whatever reason he never really had a chance here, so I'll take the money.
Slimani is on Jorge Jesus' wishlist to join Benfica. I wouldn't be too happy about this if it happened.
^^ More and more "sportinguistas" are playing for rivals and vice versa. We have an ex-Benfica player as coach. When $$$ comes into play everyone forgets what club they support.
Welp.... https://streamable.com/4z00y5 Sold this dude for peanuts and West Brom are about to cash out. You guys think Varandas makes it through the year? I don't.
I dont understand how not only in Varandas era but BdC era no coach liked him?? Did he sleep with the coaches wives or something?
It really is baffling how we couldn’t use him properly. They’ve just done a feature on him on Match of the Day after the highlights of West Brom v Chelsea. Terrific player
Sporting still being linked to Joao Mario after all these years. Wonder if it’ll ever actually happen. I wouldn’t mind having him back. Can’t believe he is only 27! Adrien Silva headed to Sampdoria it seems.
Every transfer window the JM rumour appears. I doubt it would happen, although if it did it would never be more than a loan and not paying 100% of his salary.
Would be awesome though. Haven’t really seen him play too much since he left, but he’s definitely more talented than anyone we currently have.
Definitely a jump in quality. Its a start - with Wendel money we could be smart and bring a top striker and central defender as well (if not then let's keep playing Quaresma over Neto).
Raphinha scored his first goal for Leeds United today. He was causing problems for Everton's defense the entire game and his goal was a nice strike outside the 18.
