Not read all the posts, but can he dab? Dabbing is more important than the tired 'does he track back' now.

We've got loads that track back, we need some dabbers.

Good point, how many social media interactions is he going to generate? That's what really counts for me.
 
Portuguese outlet Record, cited by SportWitness, claim the Blues recently sent an official to hold informal talks about the player’s future.

Sporting are said to be keen on increasing the 18-year-old’s 45 million euro release clause after hearing about City’s interest.

Can't we trigger it before he signs a new deal or can they up it at will?
 
Wasn’t in the 18 in the game against Tondela yesterday after not featuring in the Europa league fixture against Astana. Report says they want to use him more in the first team but since the first links he’s be absent. We had a scout at the Tondela game as well.


Don’t mind seeing United’s name they’ve literally parked scouts at all big 3 games.

Why didn't he feature in a dead rubber European tie last night if this kid is the next superstar? Monaco were itching to allow Mbappe shine last year because he was that talented. Maybe I'm being sceptical but things like this make me wonder how 'great' he can potentially be.

*watch him now move to Madrid in the next two years as the next great superstar*

Haha. The good thing about this signing for me is it brings in a kid who will know his place in the hierarchy. He knows he is behind Jesus but will get his chance. I worry if we bring in a big expensive signing up front it may have a negative affect on the squad. Rather go for a young hungry forward player.

Look at the post before yours lol
 
Just scored against Porto off the bench. Doumbia injured so he's likely to get a real run in the team now to show what he's about

Bas Dost will be back who was badly missed. Leão had a chance to be a hero and earn a draw but he skies a sitter when all he had to do is head the ball.

Yup, bit of a sitter, but still wouldn't exactly be a hero as Sporting needed to win really, but the loss kills them.

Dost will come back in, but he's moving up the pecking order with Doumbia out and getting the nod ahead of Montero. Should see some decent minutes between now and the end of the season you'd imagine. Youngest scorer in a Sporting/Porto match for something like 80 years as well and didn't look out of place at that level. Great to see Diego Dalot getting time and doing so well as well, he's looked nailed on to be a star for a few years now
