Salvio
- Thread starter Cityisland
- Start date
Salvio or Navas would have to become an 'inverted' winger and play on the left I suppose. That would be a waste of Navas who is better as a direct right winger but this guy might be able to cut inside and is a goal scoring winger (10 goals last season).
It just would make no sense.minnesota blue said:I reckon too many Blues haven't heard of this guy for this to be a good signing. For this reason we shouldn't definitely pass.
Gaitan on the other hand would, and even that's a hell of a stretch when you factor in the number of good players we have who will warrant game time.

NoahCity said:Never heard of him but if he is a right winger than surely we can't get him with Navas already there. Also seems to have a big price tag. I feel that any more signings we make this summer will be south of 15 million.
could play left or navas maybe home sick:)

He has said the news is from repected Portuguese sources, so we will see.
Benfica's Argentinian right winger Eduardo Salvio the subject of a €30m (£25.8) bid from the club, according to several respected sources in Portugal.
He definitlely looks to be bought as an mix of a right winger and an inverted winger to be played on the left, also says in the article that he can score 15 goals a season.
51 games last season with 13 goals and 10 assists. He joined from Atletico Madrid the summer before for Benfica's club record fee and had been a regular at Atletico (I watch a lot of La Liga and can't remember him to be honest) where he scored 8 goals and got 5 assists. Portugal is a gold mine of talent, although you have to be careful sometimes as we found out last season after one particular buy from Benfica. :)
If Salvio is anything like Di Maria, who Real paid Benfica over £30million for, then I don't care how many attacking players we already have... get him in. ;)
Certainly more accomplished than Bernard who is going to cost someone £20million-ish.
