zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzYawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The club already promised to the player that Tagliafico can leave. The guy can speak english which is also a plus compare to Telles. I never like defense that can't communicate to be honest.
Then let’s tell Porto to get fecked and get Ajax and Edwin on the phone again!
Mykolenko looks better option.
Sing It Back is one of my favourite songs
Is Ed Bill Muarry mark II
Cant wait for this window to just close.

Telles is more offensive while Tagliafico is more defensive. If the main reason why Ole picks Telles over Tagliafico probably for Telles's creativity especially his crossings. Either way, I think both are upgrade of Shaw.

Is Telles a proper player or is he a Darmian type signing?
He's a proper player.
He’ll be playing in the Turkish league or something like that in a season or two
This will get done on deadline day and we won't sign anyone else, ready to bet.
There's posts in this thread from Portuguese league watchers. Listen to them.so which one is it
Not a Darmian, he was a punt for Van Gaal after looking impressive as a wingback at the World Cup. Telles has been known for a while as one of the quality LB’s in Europe.
So we’ve apparently put in a 12 mil bid? Any truth in this?
The joke's on you, he's already played there
So he’s banned from going back?
He's better and fitter than Shaw and would take his place in the team.
Only because he'll be contracted to us
Why not both?
I would prefer we target this lad from SCP for the role personally. He seems to be going from strength to strength and has a unreal engine.

I think Ole wants an immediate improvement at LB. Wouldn't be opposed to getting both and loaning Mendes out however. I definitely agree that we need to look for more under the radar talents rather than the most obvious possible signing.
NOOO LEAVE HIM WITH US PLEASEEEE
We have a lot go good young players breaking through that I would like stay for a season or two.
Daniel Braganca (midfielder) is another gem. The lad is special.
Nuno Mendes is another level though this kid is special. Should of had an assist as well but Tiago Tomas our 18 year old striker missed an open chance.

Check out this bit of skill from Braganca last night.
This one was filthy as well from pre season.
He's a special talent and barring injuries will have a very good career.
Barangca is also another potentially excellent player in the making for sure. The Alcochete production line is churning out a number of very exciting young talents again which is great to see.
Poetry in motion..
I think you're right mate and I believe we'll end up signing either Telles or Tagliafico.
Of the players coming through I have them separated by Tiers.

Tier 1: Nuno Mendes, Joelson Fernandes, Daniel Braganca
Tier 2: Eduardo Quaresma, Gonzalo Inacio
Tier 3: Matheus Nunes, Joao Oliveira, Tiago Tomas, Luis Maximiano (Could maybe work his way up to tier 2 and be a Patricio level player), Jovane Cabral, Plata (not a player from our academy but he is only 19 so I included him)
This is atm what I rank them at and it is subject to change as the season(s) progress. The names on Tier 1 and Tier 2 I am the most confident in "making it" Where as tier 3 is up in the air and still too early to tell. Tier 1 is the obvious standout players.
I look forward to seeing them develop in the coming seasons. Exciting times once again regards the young players for SCP fans which will benefit the Selecao at International level too.
I just hope they stay long enough for us to gain both domestic success and not just financial. I have my doubts though.
What do you think Dalot was?
I don't think Dalot is a write off yet - he had some very poor games in 19/20 but is still a long way from the finished article. My point is that our transfer strategy needs to be reevaluated - we've spent too many years involved in long, drawn out transfer sagas, then when we sign the player, they get a free pass for a few months and then the fanbase and manager decides they need to be replaced again (whether that is immediately or in the long run). Don't get me wrong, I think we've invested more wisely under Ole than under previous managers but there's still no long term recruitment strategy at a board level. You just know that if Ole gets sacked and a new manager comes in, they'll begin signing their own players again. Top prospects like Mendes should be looked at as long-term club investments rather than a manager signings his favourites, as has happened far too much over recent years.
