Dia feliz mas tamben triste, quero que sepan todos os benfiquistas que vou levar a aguia no meu coraçao. Tente representar o benfica...

...con todo amor e força do mundo durante as 3 epocas. Deixo a muitos amigos e uma gran aficion. Benfica vai deixar muitaa saudades! AMO-te!

Essentially just saying that he's delighted to join us, but sad to leave Benfica after 3 years because of all of the friends he's made there.

very impressive signing if he cost only £16m , very decent

Just doing abit of youtube research now (dennis wise style) and does anybody else think he has a look of the late great MCA from the beastie boys?

Looks quite tall, may carry more of a goalscoring threat with the head at corners etc than Nige, sure he scored against Chelsea with a header last season, powerful looking player. More creative too. Let's give the guy a chance

Much better passer of the ball, as well. I have watched quite a lot of him and to me he is our marquee signing. Just because he did not cost 50 million does not mean he is not an extremely high quality signing. I said this in another thread but I believe this is Mancini's "Alright, if Daniele is not available I will make my own" creative hardman signing.

Can he play vs QPR today? No?
