It's Quiet - a new dawn

Hope not, he's going to be absolutely useless in the Prem as a single pivot.

Innit. I'm still hoping it's just paper talk based on the fact that Pere's his agent.

I do a podcast and as part of that podcast i've been talking to people around Pep. Today I spoke to probably one of his closest confidants and somebody who is actually privy to the actual status of every deal we're trying to do this summer. This person would never ever tell me anything about a transfer we're trying to complete because i'm a nobody and they aren't. However they made it clear to me because of a conversation we were having that Fabinho isn't moving to England this summer.

Monaco or Juve then, grand.

Putting Bob Geldof on my screen would get you a permaban if I was a mod.

My work here is done.

Well let's hope we have a decent backup plan in place. Not Carvalho ....

im afraid not too many times we have been linked and a very reliable source said we were in negotiations for him.

Cheers mate....Juve links seem to be very strong for Fabinho at present, so doesnt surprise me! I guess we'll hear alot more Carvalho links over the next few weeks. Hopefully Mendy deal is still on tho!;)

Interesting, though I still wonder what changed if that's true. We've been linked to Fabinho for some time and Romero, unquestionably as big a Pep insider as they come, seems very confident he's coming.

I'll take your word for it Ahsan, but I'd caution everyone that this doesn't mean we are getting Carvalho etc

Edit: like most I'm happier so long he isn't rags bound.

 

[cityzennn93:20]

could be another surprise signing at cdm and carvalho is just a smoke screen.

 

[domalino]

Looking forward to Carvalho making people realise that a 10 second twitter video is not how to judge a player if he does end up here.

It's amazing how many people who we all know have never watched a full Sporting match are suddenly experts on him.

At least it sounds like he is not rag bound, which would have been a real sickener.

I mean, people really thinking Pep would be interested in a player as lethargic/lazy as that video indicates are delusional. If we are in on him at all it's obvious he's a far more capable player than that.

 

[sky_blue]

I'll pour acid in my eyes if we sign Carvalho. He's 25 and still playing in Portugal. Why do you think nobody has even put in a bid for him yet? His agent keeps peddling bullshit rumours every summer hoping someone in the top 5 leagues picks him up, but nobody will. He's worse than Fernando.

Haven't commented on him, and haven't seen him but reading on here get the impression he is about the same standard as Fernado. You obviously think he is decent which is reassuring.

If not Fabinho any chance of Verratti?

When is your podcast going live?

There's an awful lot of lazy journalists out there mate. Some of whom have been caught taking made-up rumours off this site.

Bit harsh on those of us who've watched him play plenty. ;)

The info is premature bud, 100% - 2 smokescreens in the space of a week??

Even if you are one of the few who has seen him play a lot, I think everyone knows that's the exception, and most people have seen a YouTube video or two and maybe the Euro16 final before deciding.

I mean to see comparisons to Javi Garcia or Fernando who are completely different kinds of player sums it up really. I'm pretty sure 50% of the criticism would evaporate if he played in any other country than Portugal.

 

[Bill]

at least he isnt going to united

Wrexham is my guess.
