William Carvalho

On a serious note, does Fernando really still have two years left on his contract?! If so that'd mean we either gave him a five year deal initially or have subsequently extended his contract, both of which would be inexplicable decisions, even by Begiristain's standards.
 
I remember from Khaldoon's post-season video feeling really optimistic about finally signing absolutely top class players this summer, showing real ambition after a disappointing season. But this guy isn't one of them. It's all gone rather flat in terms of transfer excitement.

4 or 5 year deals are standard, aren't they?

As it turns out buying him in the first place was a big mistake but we were sold 'the octopus' so giving him a five year deal didn't raise eyebrows at the time

When we signed Fernando we were really strapped for costs under FFP I suspect amortising his transfer fee over five years rather than less will have helped a bit.

Ah, that would make sense.
 
Would be upgrade over Fernando but not sure this is the type of signing that helps us knock Real, Bayern off the top spots in Europe...
