João Palhinha

[ClemFandango]

It's official ..

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Hugely underwhelmed.

Hugely underwhelmed.

If he is the Fulham Palhinha... Then that's a fucking great signing... I just hope we've not signed another sick note... We have more than enough.

 

[Havocc]

Top signing, will be great for Gray to learn from. Proper number 6.

He is.
It's not a signing that has me jumping up & down in excitement but, most importantly, he's a solid DM that suits & fits well into Frank's plans.
I believe he is quite an upgrade on what we currently have in that position.

PS Havocc makes a good point re Palhinha & Gray.

 

[ClemFandango]

£25m option to buy apparently.

 

[USspur]

I appreciate the loan with option not obligation but that’s it

 

[Yid]

Bents or Biss to go...?

My money is on Biss.

Number of reports suggesting he's potentially off to West Ham.

Yeah, I really like this signing too. We need experienced, proven players but we also don't need old guys getting in the way of the youth we've invested in. This is the best of both worlds, because there's no way we'll loan Gray out.

We also don't need anyone injury prone... This is the angle that worries me.

Surely we have reached our injury quota ...

Yeah, this is fair. Honestly don't remember if he had injury problems at Fulham.

I thought that this was the problem at Bayern...???

It was, but don't know if that's a one-time thing or not.

Been a revelation...

Best signing of the summer IMO.

There was plenty of talk that he was one dimensional: a typical midfield destroyer.
He's definitely been breaking up opponents attacks but he's also been a revelation in our attack.

He’s not technical enough to really be a deep lying play maker but he is definitely more well-rounded than any no. 6 we’ve had in a while. He’s very good at winning back and recycling the ball deep in the other team’s half
