William Carvalho

[Bluebonic]

Nice range of passes, but he Looks like he’s playing that ‘walking’ football the old codgers do, but with a slipped disc? The prem will eat him alive!

You'd think he'd have to be a lot more mobile than that to do a job in this league but hey, if we get him I'll back him. If not, won't lose any sleep.

That said, I've only seen him a handful of times so who knows, that might have been an off day.

He's more Gareth Barry than Idrissa Gueye.

But that's no bad thing, because Gareth Barry was twice the player Gueye is.

I genuinely thought he was OK. No worse than koke or busquets who he was competing against.

That Thiago on the other hand.... he is a heck of a player.

 

[ReiRei]

Too slow for the premier league, he should go to Spain.

 

[BlueToff]

He played fine.

He'd improve us.

But, it looks like Silva wants to give Schneiderlin a go first.

i guess he's one of those, "does the job quietly" kind of players

The keeper never made a save and he's third

I liked him, he didnt run around like an idiot but we have had players who cover a lot of ground or do the works hard thing but have little impact, ok he wasnt a stand out player tonight with the talent on that pitch he was never going to be. Beside with the budget we might have this summer, which i dont expect to be massive, we might have to go for a few free/cheap bargains

People judge him after played 90 minutes against Iniesta, Silva, Isco, Koke and Busquets. Oh dear.

Who should people judge him after playing then mate ?
Tony from accounts ? Big Dave from the chippy ?

Exactly, loads on here slagged off Barry all the time but look what happened to our midfield once he left

Surprised Salah isn't top if it's from the BBC.

Thought Carvalho was positionally excellent, was extremely calm on the ball and knew exactly when to press. Considering the opposition, he did well. I think he would adapt to our league easily, only time will tell though.

I didn't realise he was playing until 25mins into the game
