Carlos Vinicius

[Airfixx]

Hes had one season in the prem, not everyones first season is a barnstormer, he actually could come good. Think weve made a mistake in letting him go to be honest.

I think even calling it a season in the EPL is a bit rich...... I don't have the numbers but I'd be shocked if he'd even clocked up 250 mins in the league.

I liked him, but as long as we've got someone we deem better in our sights I'll get over it.

 

[Airfixx]

With some players going to Euro 2020 and Copa America this summer (plus some injuries we have), he will most likely return to Benfica to help us in the Champions League qualification rounds (early August) and then be sold.

Probably to a club where Jorge Mendes has good connections, which means Wolves. We want one of their players so it all makes sense.

......Could we interest you in Matt Doherty too?

 

[Airfixx]

Not young enough for the price IMO, if that makes sense.

Yeh, if he was younger I'd be more keen on taking a punt.

What if Levy twists and squeezes the Benifica chairman's plums and manages to renegotiate the terms of the deal and can buy Carlos for let's say 15 mill?

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

Makes sense. We're making a mistake. 15 PL goals minimum if he signs for either of those.

Maximum you mean.

Anyone else a bit confused as to why this guy hasn't been replaced yet? Surely we should be looking for another decent striker in his prime years? Danny ings sort of calibre.

I know we've got Dane, but come on...he needs another year or two at least before he'll be pushing for a consistent starting place.

Replaced? What exactly did he really contribute last year?

 

[tbonepremier]

He would not stand more of a chance than Scarlett last night. There were no support, no setup, just a huge clusterfuck.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

Scored twice and was MOTM against Twente last Saturday

The goals weren't great tbh, he also got an assist for fucking an easy chance up with a bad touch about 2 yards out.

 

[ryuzakiluke100]

Is it only me thinking that, if the assist happened in PL for us, those anti Spurs refs would have disallowed the goal, and might have even sent him off citing dangerous stud up challenge on the GK?

Also, his first goal is kinda funny. He clumsily stumbled and missed the cross, which played in his favor since he was in offside position. The scored from the rebound. Guess it's one of the those games where luck is on your side, and when you play like shite, it still falls into place for you.

 

[Andersen]

Glad i don't watch this on a weekly basis.

 

[El flaco]

The man tore Marine AFC, the Barcelona of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority apart.
Surely that’s worth something?!

You’re right. Maybe I’ve been a bit harsh.

 

[Merl]

Another one in a long line of bad strikers we've bought

When was the last time the club actually bought a decent stiker? 10 years ago?

Bit late to the part aren't you? We didn't buy him and he's no longer here anyway.

Does getting one for free count?

Llorente was alright; just under-played.


TBH, buying dud STs is an occupational hazard for most clubs..... It's why top class ones remain so sought after.

Chavs: Morata, Werner, Batshuai
Liverpool: Carrol, Benteke, Lambert, Sturridge (sick-note), Balotelli
City: Boney, Jesus (good for a few goals here and there, but far from the Aguero replacement he was intended to be)
United: Lukaku, Martial
Everton: Plenty
WHam: Plenty
etc.

I’ll never understand this one. PSV finally giving him some starts and he’s got 2 goals and 3 assists in his first three starts. They’ve got him on a two year loan with an option and surely his wages are minimal. And he seemed to love being at Tottenham.

No idea why we didn’t bring him back up those circumstances. He scored goals and had assists in Europa and cup competitions, surely he could be doing that again for us this season instead of just not having a back up striker. It’s not like we couldn’t easily bin him off if Levy ever did find some ambition and bought Vlahovic, Martinez, or whoever.

I always thought he was half decent, just never got a real chance for whatever reason. Showed a lot more than Soldado or Janssen ever did. And once again, we literally have no backup striker of drinking age.

Why does none of this surprise me...?
Anyone we keep, just looks shit, but as soon as we let them go, they start proving us wrong for letting them go.

I reckon if we sold Winks and Dele, they'd be straight back in the England squad for Qatar....

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

He is completely shite.

The little Asian lad on the other hand (Doha?) Looks talented
