True but we are linked to him? Plus we seem to be going for players under the age of 20.
Roger Fernandes

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) talk about the proposed new stadium, season ticket prices, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and all things INEOS after the first year of their co-ownership.
They also discuss back-to-back victories vs. Real Sociedad and Leicester City - was this the best week for Amorim so far?
I just think it’s a weird question to ask how he’d fare against cbs like Van de ven, when the reality is that he won’t be directly competing against them to often.
I’m assuming the guy was getting at height. But that’s not going to be an issue for a wingback
promote Fred Heath, Jim Thwaites and Albert Mills, and get this guy.
We can have Fred, Jim, Harry, Patrick, Albert, Roger and Antony in our 11. Great stuff!
Wingback. This system doesn’t have wingers per se. It has 2 number 10s and 2 wingbacks supplying the forward
Roger that
Ye but our number 10s often drift out wide. Especially when it’s garnacho in one of them positions. A winger in the 10 position don’t work. Zirkzee and Amad stay in the actual central positions.
There’s only one Fernandes.
What’s this got to do with the wingback?
Plus we have Amad who has no issues holding his own against the majority of defenders.
Any Liga Nos followers got the scoop on Roger?
Seems like a good Dorgu type prospect to bring in for a similar fee. Would be immense if we get a player who can slot into Amorim's system for that cheap, so we can spend more on a top quality striker.
You’re saying this system doesn’t use wingers so you recon we’d be playing this guy at wingback yet I’m saying when garnacho plays in one of the 10s he’s more like a winger. So this guys most likely to play in the front 3. Otherwise Garnacho would have been tried at RWB and we’d be saving money.
He plays as a winger & wingback. We’re looking for a wingback but like Quenda, one who can make a difference going forward. RA likes one of his wingbacks to have winger skills. But, We’re not buying him to play as a winger under Amorim.
However if he was replaced as coach he could play as a winger in a more traditional formation if required

Seen enough. Choo choo I'm on this train for the summer
Only if we can bring Wesley Brown, Gary Neville, Eric Bailly and Edwin Van Der Sar back in from the cold please.
Edwin
Eric - Wesley - Harry
Gary - Fred - Jim - Patrick
Albert - Antony
Roger
Is this why we did Brexit?
Totally
Yeah we clearly need more of this kind, you know, able to beat his man constantly.
Looks about 10 times better than Quenda. Never wanted the latter anyways.
What clips are you watching? The one I tried he looked gang-gly AF
Garnacho's case is weird, his positioning is a compromise as it requires the WB to inverted into the #10 to allow him to stay out wide, which isn't great because putting someone like Dalot there doesn't really help us much going forward
Which is why, unless he can truly transform into a #10, he'll probably never really have a future here as long as Amorim is the manager. The situation right now is just us make do with whatever we have now

Looks like a very exciting player going forward. Like Quenda he’s a winger who would play as wingback under RA
Fernandes from Portugese league! Bound to be a hit - sign him up!
Chelsea incoming with a 40m bid, 6+1 contract, staying at Braga until 2029
Garnacho's particular interpretation of the role makes the prospect of either Mazraoui or, primarily, Amad appealing as the wingback on that side.
Fair enough. Just I’ve only seen him at RW for Braga. Quenda we knew was going to come in and play RWB as he did under Amorim at sporting. We definitely need that attacking threat from RWB so makes sense playing a winger there. Aslong as he’s decent at defending also.
I thought and I’m sure others did aswell that Amorim would transform Garnacho into a wing back. I mean we have seen his defensive side improve from when he first came onto the scene. If he’d been training on the left side then it would allow him to come into the 10 position and get shots away which would allow the actual 10 to overlap on the left. Or since we now have Dorgu, get him training on the right side and let him overlap the 10 on that side and his assists should shoot up
I don’t think Garnacho envisions himself as a wingback no matter how attacking it is. He wants to be the second coming of Ronaldo.
Seems to me like a two flank Antonio Valencia. Bag 'im already
If he wants to stay here then surely he’ll accept the managers plans and decisions.
Looks very quick and good at dribbling.
Hoping more links come from this rather than the sole, vague one.
Looks good on Youtube. This either just media speculation putting two and two together or a genuine plan B for us after missing out on Quenda.
If we can get him for 20-25m then it seems like a sensible option.

It's not the time for low risk players though, we need players that are ready for the Premier League now.
We are currently 15th in the table, if we sign a load of young players that aren't ready for this level, we will find ourselves in a relegation battle next season.
Looks very similar to Quenda really. If he’s cheaper then it’s a bonus too.
On a side note, Braga have been finding some good players over the last few years on the down low.

Thought a few Portuguese posters would have shed some light on how good he is by now
Young and quick
Sign him up!
Sign him up!
Doesn't look quite as good as Quenda but at least seems cheaper and the right profile.
I meant more in terms of value. Doesn’t look like we have the luxury to spend £££.
Mantato looks faster and more skilful for me, wonder if he would not be starting already in the Portuguese league
Funny that people seem to have decided he's a midget because Transfermarkt apparently says so. Looks physically well matched to his opponents in Portugal at least, doesn't look like height would be an issue to me. Players with physicality, great touch, and a bit of character sound like good players to be signing to me.
