striker Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Looks like a replacement for Wallace (and possibly Matias?) to me, 1 in on loan for the potential saving of 2 towards FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Signed for Benfica two weeks ago. Benfica about to receive £15m from Forest for two of their players. Are they in trouble or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlZfan84 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Wallace has gone. Matias can't keep fit for longer than 25 minutes. Why do fans automatically assume this guy is coming in to replace FF. Some folk just love a meltdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Seems like a fairly strong winger with decent skills, tho not the quickest. Can play wide or up front. As has been said, I'd assume he'd play wide right of a 3, with Fessi on the other flank. Seems a decent option as a loan signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez is the best example of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshallovercome Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Why would Benfica buy Amaral then loan him to us? If he was young and needed game time I could understand it, but he's 27 in a couple of months, doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Good to see Chansiri is using the same advisors then... Nah but seriously if this bloke turns out the same way as Venancio there won't be many complaints. Edited June 12, 2018 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if Benfica are like Chelsea and they like signing players so that their rivals don’t get them. Or they are good at spotting investment opportunities. I.e. they buy cheaply in Portugal and know that English clubs will pay more if the player does well over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on our accounts and the ability to get others out at a guess and that’s before you start to consider where Forestieri sees his future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
