They'll be ecstatic Rich has shot his load early doors then and scuppered the entire thing.

Never seen him play, so on that basis, let's get him over the line!

 

How naughty that we are at the 'preparing a proposal' stage, don't they know we have moved on from the Mike Ashley era of 'monitoring' and 'preparing a bid'.

Please bear in mind there are no concrete reports that we even want to bid for him. 
 

Concerned a few are going to be really upset when a target they’ve convinced themselves we are going for doesn’t materialise. :lol:

People think thats a weird opinion? I 100% believe there is life out there, whether its intelligent is another matter, but statistically given the size of the galaxy and the universe, there is life outside of this world.

There is definitely intelligent life out there. Some microscopic bacteria in the galaxy somewhere is more intelligent than half or most of the human race.

Seems like ALL Benfica supporters think its an mistake to let him go!

 

Gogogo bidding I say. 

 

I would seriously consider bidding MORE than the asking price at this stage.  Go nuclear or go home.

Was mentioned in a recent article on breakingthelines.com, when discussing Man Utd replacing Ronaldo. Decent little write up on him.

Goncalo Ramos – Benfica

 

One of the reasons why the striker market is looking so bare at the moment is because some of the big available targets were snapped up early on. Erling Haaland secured his move to Manchester City, and Liverpool spent big on Benfica’s Darwin Nunez, beating United to his signature.

 

Nunez is an excellent player for sure, but the reported £85 million transfer fee has certainly raised eyebrows, especially when Goncalo Ramos plays in the same side, and could be available for a fraction of the price.

 

Ramos looks destined for the top, and it would be no surprise to see him making a big move to Europe in the future, just like Nunez did. His defensive contribution is elite, with smarterscout giving him an 86 ‘disrupt’ score and a 93 ‘recover’ score.

 

In addition, in his short career, he has demonstrated a good finishing ability and goalscoring sense, scoring 7 goals from 8.9 xG in his 29 appearances for Benfica in the 2021/22 Portuguese Primeira Liga.

 

He has also shown a good dribbling ability and is an extremely physically strong forward, which allows him to hold the ball up well.

 

He is a versatile player who keeps defenders guessing with a variety of movements, regularly running off the shoulder, pinning centre-backs, or dropping into midfield to collect the ball. He even featured as an attacking midfielder in big Champions League matches, as Benfica occasionally changed their shape from a 4-4-2 to a 4-2-3-1 in that competition.

So what’s the problem? He sounds like the perfect option right? Well, probably not yet. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to say that he’d be able to make the step up from academy breakthrough at Benfica to Cristiano Ronaldo replacement at Manchester United so quickly, it is a very big jump.

 

Ramos would be an absolutely fantastic signing for United to make if he was brought in as back-up to Ronaldo, or in addition to a Ronaldo replacement, but he’s probably too inexperienced to make that leap just yet.
