Gazzaniga, Foyth, Aurier, CCV, Rose, Sessegnon, Sissoko OR Gedson, and Dele OR Lamela could all leave and we’d have incredible 1st and 2nd XI if we sign Vinicius and Skriniar.

Sure I’d seen somewhere today that Jose wants to keep Aurier.
For me, I’d be looking at Sissoko/Gedson, or I’m still not sure that having Lamela/Moura/Bale for the RWF slot isn’t overkill.

Gedson should count as U21 in the PL, and does not need to be included in the 25-man PL squad. He would take up a squad place in the EL though, but it would not be the end of the world if we would leave him out of the EL squad.

"Seriously considering" is another fun one to add to our list of:

- Weighing up
- Preparing a bid
- Enquired about
- Interested in

How else can he put it then?

" Tottenham have dipped their knob in the pot of curiosity for Carlos Vinicius"?

what people need to understand about this guy is that he came through youth ranks as a defender and only got pushed to play upfront in 2017. So his goalscoring record is very good in comparison to the number of years hes actually been a forward

The difference between Lyall and Fab is that Fab actually credits his source and isn't passing off someone else's info as his own. Lyall is pretending he's connected and is a fraud. He's about as plugged in as a comb.

Don't think that's right. He's 21. Since 9th Jan. Or is the cut off 1st Jan?

I wouldn't rule out a loan with obligation to buy at 30/40m.

Even though they sold Luiz and Dias, Benfica still need a bit more cash and they are essentially down to selling either CV or Seferovic.

Seferovic will prob only go for about 10m and Vinicius isn't in Jesus immediate plans yet will fetch much much more money.

If Benfica are in a desperate situation they may feel a loan with obligation is their best way to have guaranteed funds come in, even if it's next year. And we get to put that spend onto next summer's.

You did well dude!

Hands down the strangest analogy I’ve ever heard. Just me or has anyone else heard this before? “As plugged in as a comb”. I’m loving it, with lines like that and hips as snake-like as yours, you must be irresistible to the ladies!

According to Wikipedia he was mainly used as a defensive midfielder up until 2017

Benfica have signed 3 strikers this summer by their new manager Jorge Jesus

Darwin Nunez (CF)
Luca Waldschmicht(sp) (CF)
Everton Soares (ST /WF)

CV is defo not part of his plans for what ever reason, also why Serofovic has been touted so much by media in general, both surplus to requirements hence all the media links.

Quite a few ITKs said he is JM No1 CF choice then all the above plus benfica not being in CL need to trim squad and wages despite the dias sale, and he is Mendes client.... Ill be happy with CV, especially as im not a King fan

A poster on reddit is claiming that a Portuguese television presenter said that Mourinho texted that the deal was done, take that for what little it’s worth.

If only we'd moved Foyth to DM like 'ole thinky' kept suggesting a couple of years back, we'd have our backup striker for free next year :mad:

Also says he started out as a centre back. Let's hope Levy's notn trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone ?
