How true I don't know but a stats website had him as dual nationality with Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly one of the worst leagues outside the top 3 sides i've ever seen.Just watch a player called Edinho when we play Vitoria de Setubal, the worst striker i've ever seen at that level. Zungu might be interesting Benfica and Porto as domestically he's above average but not much else.Rather spend £2-3m on someone proven in the English leagues even highly rated in L1 for that position.Could also look at players who have done well in Bundesliga 2 like Wagner did. At least the style is fairly similar that way.However Carlos has 1 more season of grace on his decisions so if he rates this guy fair enough. Norwich are now taking this approach and, like you, I think we should be looking there. The players from the Portuguese league have not been value for money, to put it mildly.

You can listen to it here or download it as a podcast http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05654rq They mention Zungu at about 1 hour 16 minutes in Thanks, interesting listening Could be a hidden gem like Kante and Mahrez were for Leicester. Let's hope so anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work permit looks to be a problem, plus we have 16,000 Central midfielders, it's a don't know from me. If he isn't gong to dislodge Lee, Bannan or Hutch there is no point in signing him. And that goes for any other potential CM signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not remarking on your comment, just translating his comment about your comment. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont always agree with what he or other say but I don't resort to petty one worders. Perhaps my expectations were a little too high.

Paul Triplo Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Interesting... He has been responding to our fans on twitter and liking tweets linking us with him. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/06/16/bongani-zungu-likes-tweet-linking-him-with-sheffield-wednesday-m/ HITC though, so could be total testicles.

TheEnchanter Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Looks like an athletic and pacy player. Could be ideal and just what we need in that midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAYFC1991 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just informed Zungu that Sheffield has the best Nando's, he took a screenshot of my message and replied with a couple of laughing emoji's This could swing it for us lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Despite living in South Africa can't say I've ever heard of him. But if reports are true that he's great at breaking up play, turning defense into attack it sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer us to spend it on someone like Danny Williams (wages) or a player of similar proven quality.

joelswfc Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It does sound like a lot of money, but it seems that this guy really is the real deal. Virtually impossible to know before he plays in the Championship, but he certainly has all the attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
