Why's he playing wide? He's a CM isn't he?
Portugal seem to be playing a fluid 4-1-3-2 type of formation. Danilo as the DM, Moutinho centrally and Gomes and Joao Mario keep floating around either side. Seems like a hybrid between a right sided CM and a winger.
 
He seems too tall to be a tricky, quick winger or ACM

He is definately tricky, would be the next best dribbler after Martial if we signed him, but we should play him centrally, in the Oscar role
 
Joao Mario is looking special though, would much rather pay the £40 million towards him

"Special"? No idea how you could call him special after that half. He wasn't bad, looked tidy in the link up play, but it was a very standard performance.
 
Joao Mario has looked the worst in the Portugal midfield for me.

Iv never seen him play before, Special probably wasn't the correct term, but I can now see what is all the hype about. Made some great crosses and went on a few runs, I thought he was Quaresma for the first 15 mins. Where as bar the flick and assist Gomes hasn't really done much.

I disagree, Gomes had one particularly nice drive through the midfield, his dribbling and touch looked good, and he got on the ball very often with good movement. Neither set the world alight, but Gomes has looked a threat, while I'd say Mario has been 'just' average.
 
Very impressed with him so far, so comfortable on the ball and always choosing the right option. Joao Maria doesn't look great so far, but from what Ive seen inthis game Id take Andre Gomes and Nani (get him before Inter sign him)
 
Not been impressed with him tonight at all. Just looks too slow. We have that already in Mata.
 
I've been quite impressed by him, yeah, he ain't pulling up any trees but I've kept me minces on him and he's always showing, always available, seems to be moving and positive all the time and rarely put a foot wrong and as for those who are comparing him to Mata, I know feck all about football but really?
 
Dont see the point in us going for him, neat and tidy, but i am not impressed today. Pjanic was the one for us

TBF he is playing out of position.
 
I know, thats why i said was. Verratti it is then. Give them Martial and 100m, dont care, at least we got a midfield maestro, not another hit and miss midfielder.
Lets give them a couple of more players. Why just Martial?

I assume the Nasser fella would be interested in the talented Frenchies. You are right, throw Schneiderlin, Mata and Memphis in there, no loss.
 
Not very impressive tonight and didn't look much better than the options we currently have. I'm assuming he has been substantially better for Valencia if we're interested in buying him for the rumored prices.

That's more like it. We can add Young, Shaw, Darmian and Smalling while we're at it.

You on drugs?

Sure Let's give up one of brightest attacking prospects in Europe but wait we might as well Throw 10's of millions on top too.

Would still prefer kante anyway
 
He is very tidy and does the right things whenever on the ball, however i am a bit worried about the lack of risk in his passing, it is pretty much always the safer option. For that price we should have someone who can decide on the outcome of games, those who watch him often could advise as it might also be only today
