Wow. 30m seems very steep but I guess it could prove a bargain if he is past injury issues and continues to develop.

 

This surely kills either a LB or CB coming in this window. We could limp through with either until January most likely.

Left winger and a right back for 70 million wouldn't have been top of my list with us being hamstrung by ffp (and yes I know trippier can't play 50 games before someone says it)

Sounds a lot, although he’s only played 38 senior games in total, and I guess most or all of those were at RB. 

Looks like Southampton converted him from a predominantly RM to full time RB. Only played twice in midfield for Southampton.

Didn't realise he has almost played as many games at RM (35) as he has RB (43) 

 

according to https://www.transfermarkt.us/tino-livramento/leistungsdaten/spieler/503981 

 

That's RW sorted. Back to a CB and LB  it is.

 

I think Transfermarkt classify right wingbacks in 3-5-2 as right midfielders so it's a bit sketchy.

If we're signing him instead of a LB it shows serious committment to thinking about the players we bring in as long term assets rather than filling needs.

 

Might not improve us as much in the upcoming season but if he develops into a genuinely top class RB it'll look great in a few years.
