Bebe

I'm not surprised, that's ludicrous, you saw Bebé when he first arrived, Zaha was tearing up the championship, Bebé couldn't tear up anything at that point.

I saw a bit in the Championship, but I largely based my view on what I saw during pre-season. I wasn't impressed in the slightest.

I saw a lot of him the CL, so I can comment, but adversely, I saw none of him in pre-season ;)

Wow so they're playing a man down all the time and the Bebe is still tearing it up? Bring him back!

I did mean to include a CB, the Sweeper threw me off :lol:
 
I think Sly said above somewhere that he is being considered as a squad player.

The very quickly looked-up league goalscoring records of all the recently capped 'forwards' I could find:

Ronaldo, Spain: 28 in 27
Almeida, Turkey: 12 in 24
Edinho, Portugal/Turkey: 10 in 19
Bebe, Portugal: 9 in 22
Oliveira, France: 8 in 25
Varela, Portugal: 4 in 21
Postiga, Spain/Italy: 3 in 17
Lica, Portugal: 3 in 22
Pizzi, Spain: 2 in 22
Eder, Portugal: 1 in 9
Cavaleiro, Portugal: 0 in 7

Now, I may know absolutely nothing about Portuguese football, but I'm pretty sure Bebe should definitely go to the World Cup.
 
I found his saga interesting due to the circumstances of his background, Good luck to him ,Some of the goals he has scored would have put us to shame ,he has scored some absolute crackers
I wouldn't mind if he got a chance to come back to United, He's big, powerful, quick,can head a ball, and can leather a ball alright , shame his names not seamus coleman .
 
Gotcha. Accessed your link on my phone.

Been telling someone he's the highest scorer in the Portugese top flight.

Turns out he's actually the highest Portugese scorer in the Portugese top flight.

Oops.

Yeah that´s what i meant when i said that he´s the best portuguese player in the league goals/assist wise. If our manager Paulo Bento goes just for the numbers, he will have to pick him since he has better stats than Varela, Edinho, Postiga for example. Unfortunately this also shows that besides our starting eleven, our national team doesn´t really have enough quality players (specially in the attack). If i was the manager, i would pick him. Bebe, Nani and Danny from Zenit would be my choices.
 
How much are guys willing to pay for him? Swap for Carvalho? Maybe a bag pf peanuts thrown in from our side to show our good faith :D

I´d love to have him on loan. He´s better than most of our current choices. He has better stats than any of our wingers (and we have players like former spanish internacional Diego Capel, Peruvian internacional Carrillo).

Just loan? With a clause of buying him for 7 million?

We can´t pay 7 million for any player, nevermind Bebe. If we do the Carvalho deal, just put him on a player package along with Lindgaard and money. Yes, Lindgaard. If our goalkeeper Rui Patrício has a good World Cup he will probably leave (Atlético Madrid has been scouting him). Last time, a danish keeper left United for us, we were champions. Of course his name was Peter Schmeichel but i´d be willing to give Lindgaard a chance :lol:

That would not be a bad deal for both parties involved to be honest. Bebe does not seem to be have a future here and Lindegaard is firmly second choice who will not be displacing De Gea. We could easily promote Amos full time.
 
At 8:15 tonight The Bebe's P.Ferreira take on William Carvalho's Sporting Lisbon. Hopefully theres a good way to watch the match
 
Here's another of his goals that I'm not sure I've seen on here, fantastic volley, very scholes esque.

 
That was against Braga, one of the best clubs in Portugal. He has scored some very good goals this year, thanks to his excelent shooting ability. Fingers crossed he doesn´t have a good game tonight :p
 
About 30 mins till Bebe taps up William Carvalho for us during the match. I hope he scores at least one hattrick
 
The Portuguese graphic to show the lineups has him as left striker with a diamond in midfield behind him
 
How has his crossing and control come along? I felt these two were non-existent when he played for us, and with some serious work on it could make him a weapon. His shooting looks like it's deadly as hell already.

They are better, specially control. You can see he is evolving from working with experienced first team coaches from the clubs he´s been loaned to. Most of them are former pros who are helping on those aspects. He has said so in interviews.

That's good to hear. It's just outrageous seeing these videos being put up of him scoring wonder goal after wonder goal, considering the stage he was at a couple of years ago!

His shooting ability has always been good but you can always improve under the guidance of coaches. As i have said in previous posts, what Bebe lacks is the fundamentals you learn in the academies. He has that street football improvisation capability but technical aspects like crossing aren´t worked that much on that basis. Even so he has been improving and evolving on that aspect. Working and taking training seriously helps you on that.
 
He's had a couple of good efforts on goal that worked the keeper, other than that not too dissimilar to his performances in the reserves.

We have a very tactically astute manager and you can see he did his homework and is limitating Bebe´s action zone. This year we are a very good team in defensive terms, it wouldn´t be an easy game for him. He hasn´t been spectacular but decent against strong opposition.
 
Bebe doesn´t give up. With 10 men and 3-1 down, still keeps going. Good freekick but again our keeper denies him.
 
Full time: Bebe-1 Sporting 3 (one William Carvalho goal). Reading Sporting forum, most of the users wouldn´t mind Bebe on loan next year.

feck that, I want him playing at United next season. I'd love it if he made it here
 
Never thought I'd say this, but I think we should at the very least give Bebe a contract extension to protect his value.
 
According to a tweet that just popped up, Bebe is the top scorer in the Portuguese league.

Who knew?
