Raúl Jiménez @ Sport Lisboa e Benfica

He actually will have his work cut out for him. Jonas was voted the best player in the league last year, Mitroglou has credible pedigree, and Jonathan Rodrigues has barely played for us yet is deemed talented enough to be consistently called for the Uruguayan National Team.

The striker competition will be very interesting.

 

Will he play at the weekend?

 

As a Benfica fan how many goals would Jimenez have to score across all of the competitions this season for it to be considered a successful year?

 

IN

 

if he scores 15 goals in the liga expect teams to start offering 20m€ bid

If he scores Jackson Martinez numbers in liga and Europe expect 30m

 

West Ham are a midtable team the only teams that matter I that league age the top 6 everyone else is mediocre


Having tons of money means nothing I a league where everyone has cash

 

He needs a pic with the Avian creature

 

in

 

Fack West Ham and the EPL. Benfica is a great club for him to be at.

 

I figure the speed has got to be a bit slower...I think he'll do well given the opportunity. I like the move.

 

good luck to Raul

 

I think that Benfica wants him to score 20+ throughout the 3 competition. But with might suggest on what he is facing, plus teammates providing, and his ability to get in grove. I give him 25-28 goals by the end of May. Feel free to quote me or bash on me. I believe in him and did the stats work.

 

Holy hell thats alot of goals!!! Im thankfull Benefica probably dont expect that from him. 15 goals would be great, anything more is pure gravy IMO. Did he even score that many in Liga MX?

 

This guy is far from a Tronco, I know we all like to hate on las Wilas but the amount of hate this dude gets on social media is unbearable.
People expected him to kill La Liga, one day he's playing Puebla the next day he's playing Real Madrid, that's a huge transition, also especially the amount of work rate El Cholo expects out of his players was too much for him.
Even Herrera at Porto his first season he had to play in PortoB for a couple games just to get adjusted, nobody gave Raul a chance no mamen.
I predict 15+ goals this season for this tank.

 

Wait, so he was sold and not loaned? Sweet.

 

How weak is defending in the Portuguese league? That Jonas guy was very pedestrian in Spain with Valencia.

 

That Jonas guy played RW and CAM at Valencia and played ST at Benfica

 

Benfica gave him the 9 jersey and instead of Rui Costa the Benfica director taking a photo with him it was the president Luis Filipe Vieira that took the inauguration picture in social media.

Let's put it this way if he fails at Benfica he will still have a market if he fails at West Ham his market in null in void

I expect him to score 20-25 goals this year in all competitions he is 6'3" has very good pace for a tall player he"ll be playin partnering Mitroglou as Jonas playing behind them as a CAM/CF with Gaitan and Salvio in the flanks

also Benfica is in Pot 1 in the CL

 

And I was expecting around 10

 

What if he scores 9 goals but has 65 assists ? Hero or flop ?

 

I expect him to break Eusebio's record in 5 games. Anything less and hes a scrub.

 

I think ~20 in all competitions is achievable, it's not like they face Porto, Sporting & Braga every weekend.

 

First season is always a toss up, especially with younger players (although he is already 24). He has stiff competition and this is a transitory year for the club so expectations will be moderate for his first season. Even the likes of Matic (who was already 23 when hecame) took over a season to really get settled.

I'd say anything under 10 goals will be disappointing.

 

Oh man...Raul got more game than that guy..
