Ikon Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 To explain a little bit Yorkie, a couple of years ago when he was like 17 Carvalho was hyped to the bloody moon. Comparisons to Vieira and what not, but since then he's fallen off the radar of the elite a little bit. Not to say he's actually a fraud or anything but the CL clubs are not as keen as they were. He'd still be a bloody great signing for us based on what I have seen for Portugal.(not gonna pretend I watch Lisbon on a regular basis or anything ) Despite his standing dropping a little bit, he'd still represent a coup considering what we have been under Ashley. I still find it a bit unrealistic, but I do feel like this is the type of player we should be targeting. A young player who while talented is off the radar of the big clubs for what ever reason. He's 25 now mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Holy s*** it's been that long? When he was a teenager anyways, didn't think that many years had passed. Time fucking flies, makes me feel old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Aye time flies by Think a new challenge and a change of scenery would be great for his career He wouldn't play for Portugal if he had absolutely no hunger left whatsoever (last bit wasn't a reply to your post Mole). Don't see it happening but I really hope it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Would really be the perfect player for the physicality of the PL as well and a great foil for any attacking partner like Shelvey etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 As much as I didn't rate them in the end and that they didn't turn out right, players like Cabella, Thauvan, Janmaat, Sissoko and Gini for example under Rafa would all have improved immeasurably under such coaching and man management. Well, maybe not Sissoko.... Rafa dropped Gini and Janmaat Aye, cause he had ten games to save our Premier League status, hardly enough time to start improving players. Rafa went with what he considered proven, experienced PL players, he didn't have time to take risks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 If there's an ounce of truth in Iheanacho being available for 20 mil, that's the transfer we should go all out to secure imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 He had a decent season with Liverpool? I can't say I've watched much (or any) PL at all this season. I don't blame him for not giving a shit.. he was sold a pup by Graham Carr, like many before him and when the reality of Shteve being boss set in.. he obviously lost the will to live (or make an effort) How much longer has De Jong got on his contract?

Zero Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Winegum started off well, then dipped in mid season, come back strong after Mane injured and contributed a lot for their 4th position. As a result he is a hero now and the deal considered to be a huge bargain at 25m. Completely opposite to Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmattis Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 There are not many Swedish players I would push for us to get, but I genuinely think it would be interesting to see how Emil Forsberg would play out at our club. Looking like he'll have a bit of hefty price-tag on him though. Apparently, he is leaving RB Leipzig this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lxsln Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Just reports in Swedish media about him being available, you're right though there's no way would splash that type of money for him. Reports of a fee between £40-50m and linked to Bayern, Arsenal, Liverpool and so on. Grew up a couple of 100m from me, really hope my local club get a couple of % of that sum.

lxsln Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 You think he will go for a fee that high? Naa, 15-20 with addons maybe. If he stays at RB and have the same season next year, he will go for Draxlermoney maybe. RB wont sell for that, so think he will stay and dont think he want to leave that badly with CL football next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
