That was just league games as well, his full stats make him look a tad worse without any context. 41 games, 6 goals and 2 assists.

His league apps are 20 starts and 10 sub appearances with a total of 1,916 minutes played or 21 full games. That’s a goal involvement every 3 games. For comparison, Jack Harrison had 2,083 minutes (23 full games) with 1 goal and 1 assist. That’s a goal involvement every 11.5 games. So in reality it’s already an improvement to the right side, but should/could we do better than this Sporting lad at this moment in time?

His international record makes for better reading, and is arguably more impressive due to obvious reasons - I mean, how many Mozambique players can you name?

A goal and assist away to Nigeria, a goal and assist away to Ghana, a goal away to Algeria, a goal away to Cameroon. Those are all the historically "big" African nations and all of them are away.

At Sporting, perhaps his role is different?

Hardly what you would call impressive

Could lace McNeil's boots

Mitrovic.

Who?

What are everyone’s thoughts on Mitrovic?

Always thought he was a bit of a carthorse.

Don’t think he meets the criteria above mate.

Tete is Mozambican ancestry. Could be a goer, this.

I mentioned this player in 1988 before he was born. Great potential, named after his pet Cat called Ammo as that was his dad's favourite Everton player, so they renamed their surname and called him Catamo

2 footed, can go in can go out, up and down, side to side across the whole dance floor. Likes to shuffle, do a bit of tap dance, big fan of Lionel Blair and The Weakest Link.

I like the profile of players we are trying to purchase.

Much better than our usual 28-year-old on a five-year contract, slow as F...

He supposedly has a big valuation/release clause according to various jarg links to Villa. Be interesting to see if it’s in any way true!

Does he get us though!

He's been known to spend his Saturday evenings in the Winslow mate and is a keen darts player who represents The Walton Wizards

Looks really good, some unreal crosses

Looks fast at least

Him, Speedo Mick, Seamus Coleman and Rick Wee.

Are we sure that’s a real journalist tweeting?

 

[ValBlue]

Is this random Twitter chap credible at all?

I’m a tad sceptical, there’s a lot of ‘buzz’ around the player which makes me think it’s all agent hype

Will wait for bobble, joyce etc to weigh in, if at all
