Still can't see why there's so much hype around this lad.

Be perfect fit for us strong and powerful and decent all round player.

He's definitely strong and powerful for his age alright, that's about where I'll stop agreeing with you though.

Would be a decent alternative if we can't get Weigl.

One of the players you can say is an ideal replacement for Yaya imo. Similar playing styles and would compliment the players we have in our team.

He's a very technical player for a guy his size, lovely range of passing and controls play very nicely when on form. He reminds me a lot of when Yaya was actually a holding midfielder, rather than the weird giant Xavi with occasional surging runs that he became. He has that same slightly lumbering look to him, where he looks like he doesn't know how to run, then all of a sudden just starts bursting past people, or he'll look like the ball is caught between his feet, then just ping a lovely 40 yard pass in behind the fullback.

I don't think we specifically need him, but we do need someone like him or NZonzi, someone to offer that real power in our midfield now Yaya is on the wane. Someone big as well, as much as I hate to admit it we are a team of midgets and having someone to win a header in front of our defence would solve a lot a problems, especially if they could control the game from deep as well.

Yeah I've mentioned the same problem with lack of a physical presence in the pivot role on here before, it's a problem that's become pretty evident. Don't think Carvalho is the player to solve it though, I've been disappointed whenever I've seen him on the bigger stage.
