Sounds like it’s done. Paperwork part of the deal has begun with Otamendi going the other way.

Is this in addition to kounde?

No wonder Pep looks fed up :)

Who's that guy?

Hes got Marti Peranau as a contact, the writer of Pep Confidential.

Do we have any Portugal-based posters on here to give us the low down? I don’t know what to think about this deal.

Of the 38 cb last season that played 1500 mins or more in Portugal 33 posted a better duel success percentage and he was only 22nd in aerial duels won percentage. Interceptions per 90mins he was 37th and 8th on fouls commited per 90. Backs up what I’ve seen from the limited amount of times I’ve watched him play for Benfica or Portugal. He’s not good enough!

how many times is limited times ?

We've come full circle, haven't we? I remember being linked to him as soon as the Koulibaly news broke out.

This guy is nowhere near the level of Koundé. CB from Portugal, what could go wrong?

Gamble after gamble at the CB position, will we ever learn?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

So, we’ve settled for plan G?

Watching this torres and sterling will be drooling by his passing range, in this he seems to dive in alot, but his passing is exceptional
