Brands & Silva press conference.

[BenficaAndEvertonFan]

Just read a interview from Marco Silva for a portuguese TV.
- he expects a long project, more than the three year contract;
- play attractive football;
- this season the objective is a real approach to the top 6 clubs;
- use the "excellent" youth academy to bring players for the 1st team;
- buy some players that will bring value to the team;
- he does not confirm interest in William Carvalho or Carrillo;

He is very happy

Not saying they’re bad players just not big names

Exactly. At 9 letters, Lascalles is the biggest name on that list.

 

[Zatara]

What's he suppose to say. I'm interested in small time nobodies? The fans would be on his back already. They aren't big names but no Lozano is attractive, Lacsells(I'll never get his name right off my head) is a England captain in the making.

No idea what he 'should' say...just pointing out what he said and posing the question that the links arent to 'big names'.

Lascalles would be good i think...
Lozano also...

I thought they both came across very well.

Ambitious but realistic at the same time.

 

[Jokerdan]

'The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step' or so the saying goes. This is not a quick fix but hopefully we now have a management team who will take us forward and rebuild this fallen house

 

[Agent Blue]

It's not personal. It's just business. They need to be on the way out.

It's not personal.
It's just personnel.

I'm a patient chap, and am happy to give our new regime all the time they need. All I want to see is progress and ambition. If we show that, then success will come. I'd hate us to make a habit of hiring and firing Managers all the time.

Whats all this big names stuff? Dont get it, we need to sign good players, who will give us a better shot at top 6, not wast money on some big name, was Tim Cahill a big name when we bought him? Or Lescott, or Coleman?

Or Arteta.

 

[BenficaAndEvertonFan]

We tried to buy him not that long ago from you but it was no bueno.

I’ve always liked him.

Hey mate,
News on a portuguese newspaper say that Jimenez will sign for Wolves on a loan deal for 5M.
Meanwhile Benfica signed Ferreyra from Shakhtar.

That is a good trade off for Benfica if true.
