Curious signing. Watched a lot of him at Sao Paulo while keeping an eye on Lucas and he never looked anywhere near as good as the various "top 10 local Brazilian talents" lists suggested. Not very disciplined, not very defensively aware and lacking the skill to make much of an impact in attacking positions. He's a big unit, has a decent short passing game and times his runs forward pretty well but that's about all I saw.
Carvajal on the other hand looks a shrewd signing. Different option to Arbeloa and providing he settles in well he'll make that spot his own.

Nicklas Helenius from AaB to Aston Villa.
I don't know what to think of this seeing as Weimann just extended his contract. Are they selling Benteke or just looking for depth?
Well, Bent is off so that's a place to fill in the squad, I guess.
I found it a bit weird as well. He only played once for the first team in his time there. He's not even that young being 21 years old. Surely they could take someone from their reserve/youth team and give a chance every now and again instead of buying Casemiro.
Iago Aspas - Celta Viga to Liverpool
111 appearances for Sao Paulo and 3 caps for Brazil and stints with their youth squads as well as having played for the B team last season and making his debut under Mourinho. Can't be that bad.
Andreas Cornelius from FC Copenhagen to Cardiff City for around £7.5 mil.
That's quite a bit of money. I am not at all sure he should be worth that much. He's still very young though, so maybe he'll prove me wrong.
