This season we need strength in depth He has been a regular in a top flight team for 4 season which is more pedigree than Sasso had so no reason not to think he could be a better player. As you agree with Snooty, we need a centre-back, we've got one, lets support him. Yes we probably need more but we need someone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTacoSWFC Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I've decided... he's going to be great.. What a signing. Let's just wait until it's officially announced, we saw what happend to the last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sasso wasn't even that bad, I'd happily have him at centre half instead of Pudil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand how a comment of "I'm not convinced" is interpreted as a declaration of hatred and opposition. Never have I ever said he won't be good.

Bluesteel Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 This guy was mentioned a couple of days ago on here. I'm pleased we have got someone in. He looks a bit stronger than Sasso which is a start and he had had English clubs looking at him which suggests they also thought he could adapt. We can't afford to play the long game on this now that we have no defenders. However, it would be a nice surprise if we were still in for Harlee Dean.

HillsborOwl Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sounds good to me... CB - check Young - check If we're not careful we'll have an average age below 30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Former Benfica youth, former Portuguese U21. A development squad player at best. We have a full Portuguese international striker who isn't up to this level so I'm not convinced. Whelmed under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as is the case at many other championship clubs, I would like to see some progression and significant Improvement in the squad. Our Portuguese signings to date have been ordinary.

pazowl55 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Under the obvious restraints of FFP. I am Pretty pleased with this deal. Probably don't have to cash in on Fessi now as Well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
