Not for me. From watching last night the ability of the 10s to play in the hole with their back to goal was important in build up, something Rashford is really poor at. I think he’ll go 2 of Mount, Amad and Bruno. No idea how Garnacho and Rashford fit in tbh.

Which of their players are worth looking at?
In terms of getting new players and academy, Sporting is one of the best in the business.
Especially considering their size and the country's size compared to other big clubs and leagues in Europe.
Diomonde, Quenda and Gyokeres are the obvious picks but there are a few more that could be great signings as well, like Hujlmand, Gonçalo Inácio, and maybe Pote (Pedro Gonçalves).
Trincão is playing great but I don't think that he would do well in the Premier League
How is Debast the RCB?
He was highly rated at Anderlecht and seems to be a technical CB/RB hybrid perfect for 3 at the back.
So, basically, the whole of the first team?
I mean, I'm not saying we should get everyone but Sporting does have some interesting players and mostly important, players that work very well in Amorim's system.
Still not sure how I feel about him. His errors cost Sporting the Supertaça vs Porto and sometimes he feels a bit shaky, but that might be because he was/is adapting to the system and new team. Lately, he looks way more solid though
I missed the match. Hope Amorim is OK in his luxury hotel room.
You’ve got to feel sorry for them. We could very well have ruined their entire season before Christmas.
Ouch. Another loss post-Amorim
Forza Sportpoli
We did them dirty.
This season with Amorim:
League:
11 wins/0 draws/0 defeats. + 34 goal difference
UCL
3 wins/1 draw/0 defeats +7 goal difference
After Amorim:
League:
2 defeats -2 goal difference
UCL
1 defeat -4 goal difference

It's what happens when an entire established management structure is ripped out mid-season. Pretty ruthless by us.
As for their players Inacio is the one I'd take. He's a faster, taller Martinez.

Shows what an influence Amorim had on them. People keep saying it’s only the Portuguese league. Doesn’t matter. Not every manager can win games even when there playing easier teams. Amorim will get it right for us.
Realistically he should been able to carry on from Amorim. It should have been easy… everything was already set up. Just like slots carrying on from Klopp or bettering him even.
Yeah, or Moyes.
This should put the Slot excuses to bed.
They are in free fall.
So sad to see. I really hope Amorim works out here, would be awful for us to inflict this collateral damage on them Mid season for nothing, and obviously I want to win.
Yeah, it is. They were in absolutely great form and it has all gone to shite.
This hasn't worked out for anyone. Sporting are terrible without Amorim, and we're terrible with him.
Kidding! Relax guys I'm actually a big fan and I'm certain he'll be great for us once he's settled (and gets better players).

Seems like they've already sacked amorim's replacement.

Think he's been sacked and his replacement already lined up

Sporting Chairman said this at the time of his appointment:
"Today we are here, and I can say that we have the same feeling that I had five years ago in this same room. I have very little doubt that João Pereira in four or five years will be in one of the most powerful clubs in Europe. He'll find a fabulous group of players, with a captain and a fabulous staff. Above all, he will find a Sporting that will make him grow. In turn, Sporting finds a coach who will continue to make the club grow"

Sacked him over a month later.

I hope his name isn't Ruben Amorim.
Ten Haag is available, but that would be sly on Sporting fans.
