We should start linking all our players we don't want to Benfica for the laugh and see how quickly they get annoyed with it.
Gonçalo Guedes
- Thread starter Red_toad
- Start date
We get linked to the player and next thing you know, Bayern is posting a picture of him signing for them.
PSG's transfer business is going downhill compared to when the Qatari's came in. Pastore, Cavani, Thiago Silva, Zlatan.... to HBA, Jese, Krychowiak, and Guedes
from the youtube he looks bang average, more Rolando less Ronaldo
Just like the time Lindelof missed a game around December?
Looking at his YouTube video he reminds of Adama traore of Boro. Strong fast quick footed but zero decision making sense.
How are they doing in the Portuguese League/CL?
Benfica are like the stall owners you see at souks when you go on holiday: "You want watch, sir? 100% genuine. I give you best price. No? How about ornament? Hat? Only 10 pounds. I won't go any lower. Okay 5 pounds. I'm giving it away. OK fine, one pound. No? Can I interest you in squidgy toy?"
Just feck off, Benfica.
Just feck off, Benfica.
Right. The Man Utd scout present in every Benfica match must be a puppet then
Renato refused Man Utd's offer btw
I'm sure there are. Just because a scout is present doesn't automatically mean that United are interested. To be fair to Benfica it's usually the press hyping up the player/ price and stating things are 'done deals' rather than the team itself.
No offence intended
Players from the Portuguese league are very over valued
He didn't want to work with LVG and by the time Mourinho was appointed, he already made a deal with Bayern.
They went from Leonardo(great football man) to Blanc(the guy in charge at juve when they were finishing 7th in the league) and Kluivert
I never know Blanc was Juve coach
Are you sure you're not mistaken him for someone elseThey're both very young. Decision making comes with experience and age.
Guedes is very good and everyone who follows the league knows that 30 million is fair and that PSG are making a good signing. Lots of nonsense in this thread because of one youtube video.
Hardly, in fact most get no recognition internationally before leaving to a bigger league. If you mean that they usually leave for more money than they should then I think there were a few crazy deals Porto and Benfica managed to make but that was more due to stupidity from the buyers. Generally speaking the values seem pretty fair.
It's a different BlancI never know Blanc was Juve coach
He cleaned the club after the calciopoli and is very competent. The man that you are looking for is Letang.
Done deal
He's competent in running the financial aspects of the club. He's not a football man, never was(and at juve, he was asked to make footballing decisions. He was in charge of hiring their DoF and was the DoF's reference) But fair enough
And he isn't a DOF for PSG, Letang and Kluivert are. Blanc is General manager and marketing director.
Done deal
Surprised by the move. I don't think he's PSG level but let's see how he evolves. I think PSG is looking for their own "Bernardo Silva". Let's see if he gets enough playing time and that's up to him if he's good enough. I hope he does well, i usually root for portuguese players playing abroad. I have to admit that was a very good real for Benfica. Good money and plenty of decent (if not superior) players on squad to replace him.
or Bebe
Ah, you meant the Jean-Claude Blanc. Just as @JPRouve said he's not director of football.
Back on topic. How do you guy see this guy fit into PSG current line up? Seem to me a back up/ replacement for Di Maria. Can't see PSG going with 2 men midfield
Well if he is any good we will get him when he's 35
An incredible start of the season at Valencia
This weekend he did this:
This weekend he did this:
Is he likely to ever break into PSG team or did they just buy him so they can make a profit in the future and clear books for FFP?
Today:
I liked him at Benfica and am really liking him at the moment. I was for us taking a punt on him back when he was in Portugal and especially am now.
He's looked way better for Valencia than in any of the games I saw him play for Benfica and PSG.
Indeed mate. That's why i'm surprised. But credit to him for settling at Valência and adapting well to La Liga. He's becoming a valid player for our NT. Our attacking options are great, now if only we could get Ricardo Carvalho and Pepe clones.
I've only ever seen him for Valencia and he has been amazing. Unfortunately keeping Andreas out of the side because of it.
We had a real winger problem last season so we recruited Guedes and Draxler in winter, then Di Maria found his form back and Draxler fitted immediately. With the addition of Neymar and Mbappé the competition is even tougher now; I wouldn't mind if we let ADM and Lucas go to give Guedes more chances next season.
Isnt Lucas supposed to be good? Ive seen United fans on this forum wanting him. He also used to be a Fergie target...
Lucas is a good player, not a great one and hasn't progressed as much as hoped. This year is the first season he's starved of playing time.
I think him and Zaza would be good adds if the price is right, to provide quality cover for a good squad depth.
Almost every player was crap at West Ham last season. Zaza is a very decent player, and I was referring to add squad depth, not to bring someone who will play every match.
Antonio? Lanzini? Kouyate? Good players rise above the rest of the shite. He didn't.
Not good enough, even as back-up/cover.
Can we sign him.
Don't know if he will return To PSG next season, improved a lot under Marcelino, not sure if it would be good for him other adventure at another super squad where he will get a few minutes here and there imo.
