WP Poland. What you need Lewandowski for if you have Krzysztof Piątek ! El Pistolero giving us 3pts against hardest opponent in group G.

Piatek looks like a great striker, Milan did wonders getting him. He also tries so very hard and just gets on with it. Wish him all the best!

USMNT looked sloppy as hell. Granted their first time together under a new coach but still...

I didn’t watch many matches of his so far, but if Frenkie de Jong is worth 85M, 105M doen’t sound too crazy for this guy.

I guess i need to hope Benfica get to semi final of Europa so i can see him play vs Chelsea? But Man City have "won the race" to sign him for £105 million and i was reading up on him today thinking wow, i genuinely only heard of this guy because the Benfica president was saying how they want all their "stars" to have ridiculous buyout clauses now to try and keep European clubs off of them for longer so they can be utilized more.

Back when Liverpool made those Van Dijk and Alisson transfers and all that, I was worried that the market is going to drop down soonish and Liverpool overpays big time. Now it looks like market prices didn't even plateau there and keep going further up.

Zidane better have that 300+ million transfer budget if the plan is to rebuild in current market situation.

The 300m is just to buy Neymar right? How does he get all the other guys he wants?

That's his release clause. Biggest talent to come out of Portugal in a long time, IMO.

Yeah he is a great player and somewhat mature for his age…..but its still a kid and it is only media hype that leaves him at those values. Remember Benfica's last big homegrown sale….Renato Sanches was supposed to be a world beatter lol (the players are nowhere near comparable, Renato was already a flop and Félix has a ton of potential and actual talent! its just that their media hype is very good at raising player values beyond reason).

He needs to grow a lot of muscle to play in a big league and hope that the additional muscle does not hurt is speed a lot. But still potentially one of our best players from the last couple of years but I would still like to see him perform in Europa League before trying to have him cost that ridiculous amount.

speaking of portugal, rumours are that united are looking into bringing in bruno fernandes to partner with pogba.
however, i don't really see fernandes working with pogba - i feel he's more better as playmaker/attacking midfielder - am i wrong in this judgement?

Renato Sanches was one of the best players in the euro KobraKay. His underperformance at bayern says more about the club than the player.

No he wasnt. Just look at the final and see what how he played against strong physical midfielders (which is what he was supposed to counter). But this is the last I will engage on that flop of a player. We will have to agree to disagree, sorry.

Bruno Fernandes is Sporting's best player currently by miles but he is not a Pogba type of player. He does better with a smaller radius of action than Pogba, with that radius being higher up the pitch.

He is good at decision making and has a great long shot and pass. He is also competent at reaching the box to increase the offensive numbers. I'm just worried about his physical ability. He has stamina to play everygame at a high pace around here, lets hope he can translate that into a stronger league in that regard (he did play well in Italy before so there is that).

Ahh right so he is very talented but as i thought with how he looks physically, he might struggle for sure season 1 with not playing to much, then there is an issue of that being in City anyway and then his development stalls. Probably would be better for him to play another season in Benfica no? But i guess we shall see. They dubbed his style like Kaka's on Sky article i read about him which is nice as i like to see creative midfielders with an eye for goal, we shall see!

You mean the final which he won against a superior team in their own home? Final that was only reached thanks to his all important goal against Poland?

You joined tl.net to post that?

First of all, welcome. Second, the fact that Portugal won the game does not mean he played well. Third, while scoring a goal is very important, it does not make one a great player. As I said to your fellow Benfica fan, I will not engage again on account of this kid. I made an exception since you are new and I wanted to welcome you but that is it.
