this tavarez guy is getting a coating from benfica fans online, but it mainly seems to be because he's acted like a tool on social media in the past, and also got a tattoo of a lion (sporting logo).

he posted videos of himself making out with his dog lol

He has a really bad rep because of his antics on social media.

Won't worry about that at all. If he has one bit of bad attitude he will be banished in no time

I see we'll somehow end up surprised if he's bad even though everyone's telling us that he is.

First time since Boa Morte I think. My guess is Wenger didn't want to deal with them dodgy agents so at least some good has come from our criminal new brass in Sanllehi and Edu

It's probably because players from Portugal usually come with a bigger premium than English players.

Surprised this one is so cheap.

TambourineMan

Probably because he is shit.

goon

That's never stopped them before.

It's just English clubs that get fleeced. Most transfers within Liga NOS or to other leagues are reasonably priced.

The transfer fees weren't the reason we didn't buy there anyway, the agent involvement most likely was. Portuguese football is 120% dodgy or straight criminal fuckery.

Sounds like the type of character that Mikey would farm out on loan never to be seen again.

Most of Portuguese fans, not just Benfica but Sporting/Porto as well, on social media seem to think we are signing a stinker.

This is his league debut. He scored the opener, got a man sent off at 2-0, created the third and assisted the fourth and fifth.

He has the physical tools and technical ability, good weaker foot too. From what I've read he seems to have lost his way a bit but nothing you couldn't bounce back from aged 21.

For €8m it sounds like a reasonable gamble assuming they've scouted him properly and he's not some LB Runnerson who we can't even give a run out.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Me wants Isak.

If Andre Silva is available for £20m I think that's the striker we should move for.

Absolutely.

Aye he looks like he has the raw ingredients you can't coach. Like when Liverpool signed Glenn Johnson for £18m based on his potential rather than current ability.

If arteta coaching record with fullbacks is anything to go by we should be fine he's helped KT become WC. And chambers was a horror show at FB before arteta. AMN had been excellent at FB under arteta. He almost made Cedric a passable FB.

If the guy knuckles down and he's smart enough to listen and learn he has good potential.
