What a hottie

Apparently west ham have offered him more than us but he wants to be June in the FC Sexy calendar.

Loan with option to buy and i'll be made up.

Classy player.

Never seen him play but from YouTube vids he looks technical as feck so I’m fully onboard even though I see lots of people saying he was woeful at Barca.

If we sign him, we need loads of outgoings in central midfield.

We have a domestic-only season, and as such as do not need options of Besic, Schneiderlin, Davies, Baningime, Dowell, Gueye. Baningime would be best being sent on loan, Davies too but it won't happen, and ideally Schneiderlin would be sold to balance the books a bit (also won't happen).

I can see Besic going to Boro and Baningime and possibly Dowell going on loan, but those two will drop down a division and so it can wait until end of window (but no idea why clubs would wait seeing as the season has started already).

The EFL loan window runs on for a few weeks yet after today so no immediate need to loan out any young players, Besic could be going to Leeds today if reports are to be believed

If this comes off, I'd say Silva has seen enough of Schneiderlin and he'll be looking to move the fraud on by the end of August.

The standards Barca fans have of their players is so much higher than we should have to be fair.

a midfielder with no aggression, no ability to harass the ball back will make counterattack system totally ineffective.

I’m not sure what this signing can achieve.

We have Davies and McCarthy there.

he is slow, not aggressive, he is the Portuguese version of schneiderlin

King saying he’s desperate for the move, please let it happen

Christ, we have an entire midfield of minimal talent grinders and yet you’d rather have another one than someone who seemingly can actually play football and pick a pass ?

He had a decent spell for a few months, but overall failed to fit in.

I never really got why they signed him. He seemed overpriced at the time because he didn't really fit what they needed.

He isn't world class, but would certainly be a huge improvement on what we have.

And, as I said, it would hopefully open the door to Schneiderlin leaving.
