Battle of the Vieiras on opening day it is.

They are a sad futebaol club today, I know my foreign languages.

Huh? Wasn't someone saying we paid the release clause? So why are there add ons?

USArsenal

Thought the release clause was 40m (?) Maybe we structured it so they only get that extra 5m if he meets whatever goals required..

Klaus

Had a quick look at what the Porto fans think of him and some of them claim he's similar to Bernardo Silva. Sounds encouraging!

Because we didn't pay the release clause.

"chegou a um principio de acordo o Arsenal" means an agreement has been reached, ie no clause triggered

He’s right up your alley Klaus.

Fire up YouTube, pull your pants down and enjoy some highlights of him.

He seems the opposite of Bernardo

More like bruno

More end product, less build-up

The one like bernardo for Porto is vitinho

Doc

Think he he has a similar style.. Glides around the pitch, quality range of passing, tenacious with good end product.

B.Silva only really established himself as a CM last season (or maybe 20/21) and had been more of an offensive midfielder before that.

Could go a similar route

Gunner89

a player with a build-up like Bernardo (even in the Portuguese league) and getting this guy's G+A/90 would be attracting interest from half of europe

I like to be excited about new signings but not getting into unrealistic expectations

B silva was always established for city

Only his goal numbers are a bit inflated now but he's always been important in the build up

Doc

Was referring to his position. CMs will usually be more involved in the build up.. but yeah, he looks talented, still has it all to prove though.

Yeah can't read Portugese mate. Just going on by what was said in the transfer thread about why it happened so fast and Porto couldn't do ahything cuz we triggered his clause. Seems to not be the case then.

Qwiss

Nevermind your Brunos and your Bilvas, this guys is the new Figo.

Big Willie

Now that I can get behind.

Yeah was me, quoting the original source.

Maybe its google translate error.

So is this a pivot to double free 8s ? Or rotation with odegaard we reckon ?
