Summer 2021 transfer window

It depends how Lage wants to set midfield up but we could do a lot worse than look at Mateo Klimowicz at Stuttgart.

Palhinha just doesn't look right at all. He's the kind of shite CM we'd have signed in the 90s.

Reminds me of Milijas minus the yellow fingers..

[Lupo]

Loads of pro footballers smoke(d)

yeah, back in the days but now when it is so even between them you really cant affort that advantage

 

[Paul]

Yep, I smoked and ended up a chronic asthmatic, some others though

Smoking is awful, bad for your health, anti social, causes cancer but that photo is cool as fuck

Yes please. Thought he looked good for Portugal in the Euros

 

[Templeton Peck]

Not sure about Palhinha. Looked like a bit of a slow thug in the middle. Poor man's Keith Downing.

Had a triple heart bypass at the age of 44... diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015. Quoted as saying, "football has give me everything in life, tobacco almost took it all away".

Poor man’s Keith Downing? I’m all for a bit of hyperbole but I really couldn’t see Keith Downing playing in the Euros.

 

[BGreenWolf]

Hyperbole is fine and all, but no, we weren't signing highly-rated Portuguese international CMs in the 90s.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Psycho was a legend.

Just as well as they clearly wouldn't have made the team.

 

[sycophantia]

Thought Palhinha was very good in the first game I saw him......the last game however Psycho would have played him off the park...he was garbage, and not in s sexy Shirley Manson way ( although he is a good looking lad)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Psycho was a legend.
As was his cousin. Could play a rather mean guitar could KK

 

[Tony Towner]

Downing was my favourite player from the Turner years, even more than Bully at the time. Looking back fans were so lazy with their nicknames then. Black=Bruno (let's face it time hasn't judged that one well either), Likes a tackle=Psycho

 

[sycophantia]

he still can....promoting a mark 2 version of Judas Priest atm....KK I mean

 

[AndyWolves]

Has anyone seen palhinha play other than during the euros? I'm a bit reticent to write him off on a sample size of 2 games.

 

[Deano]

I thought he looked alright during the Euros and he's had a very good season for Sporting by all accounts I'd take him.

 

[WolfMan]

I'd be gutted if Neves left he's my favourite player in our squad. IMO we should be building the team around him for the next 10 years.
