Good to hear that he speaks English very well, always means a better chance of settling down and could do without half a squad having to communicate through interpreters. 

 

[KeiranShikari]

He's Portuguese, was always likely that he could speak English better than most English players.

Never been there so wouldn't know, although in Madrid the capital of Spain I didn't find many people who could speak English!

Looks like a good signing (based on YouTube & general pedigree) and has a sense of humour/good political brain judging on his answer when questioned on if he had a favourite English team when he was growing up

After watching the video on his Twitter account my first thought was that he's too good for us lol, like Brady only better! Played against Arsenal and Bayern in Champions League this season. Looks an awesome addition.

Looks a bit like a right footed Brady going by that video.

Van Wolfswinkel taught us all not to be too excited by a highlights reel though didn't he. 

Hopefully this player will prove a bargain.

[Number 9]

That reminded me of Pilkington's video before he signed for us.

Pinto has good experience though, hopefully will bed in nicely.

 

[KeiranShikari]

Pilks was pretty good.

 

[Number 9]

Physio was busier than the opposing goalkeeper

 

[morty]

Pilks was pretty good.

When fit I liked him a lot!

A good point CB, let's not get carried away by videos that will always be flattering.

Like you I hope we have a great signing but do we know that much about him? Just how strong are the Portuguese, Romanian and Croatian leagues? Yes there a couple of great Champions League results in there, but Hoops had that on his CV from Celtic similarly.

Let's see how he shapes up in the Premiership, Heart says let's hope we have an inspired signing. Head says keep feet on the ground.

If the fee really is £2.2m then he at least falls into the "worth a punt" category, no biggie if it doesn't work out, a steal if it does. 

 

[Canaryboy]

Played against Arsenal and Bayern in Champions League this season. 

Steven Whittaker has played 16 Champions League games, the player that we hope he improves on, so not going to take that as a mark of his Premier League quality to be fair. 

 

[GJP]

Though some of us would say Whittaker is a pretty good player.

I would too.

But lets be serious, not Champions league good lol.

 

[dj161]

Djimi Traore has a champions league winners medal, so lets not get too carried away with that competition as the standard bearer, I think I could just about do this

 

[GJP]

I would too.

No but then I'd say that about a fair few of our players.
