Transfer Rumour William Carvalho

[KaiserEFC]

Sounds pretty highly rated, haven't seen him play, good enough for me I suppose

 

[Paul Dean]

Isn't this lad they same type of player as Witsel?

 

[Nyhus]

Isn't this lad they same type of player as Witsel?

Not really. Witsel is more of a box to box midfielder, Carvahlo is a defensive midfielder.

 

[when i score we riot]

I would still much rather have this guy over Witsel. Unless we get both, but why should we when we have Gibson?

 

[TheFinnFan]

Getting both is a pipe dream imho

The same Gibson who plays a handful of games a season and likes drunkenly running people over?

 

[Moomin]

I think he wants both.

 

[jrj]

I hope we do get both, McCarthy will probably be off if it happens.

 

[jackyboy]

He's gonna replace and be an upgrade on Barry I feel.

Witsel would be brought in as McCarthy's replacement.

Barkley next to them two in a 4-1-4-1.

Keep mccarthy as back up ... Still a good player !

 

[Pabbers]

Imminent

 

[fandjango]

?

Agreed. Could get a decent fee for him, and having three defensive mids who don't offer much going forward wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Problem is we also have Besic, Gibson just signed a new contract and the academy is producing potentially high quality centre mids.

Witsel, Carvalho, Barry, Mccarthy, Gibson, Basic, Davies, Ledson and the impressive Baningime who could join this crop in a couple of seasons means we are overloaded in this position, potentially Barkley might drop back from the no10 role too. Mccarthy is someone I would like to keep, but if we added Witsel and Carvalho he would be benched and if we could pull in 15-20m for him I could understand why we might move him on.

Imagine if our midfield next season was Carvalho next to Witsel
