[Ali Dia]

actually… you know the way everyone got mad about Birmingham naming a stand after Bellingham Well Camavingas old club named their stadium after him

He's not a DM that we need but we should get him. And besides does Ole even want a DM?
Fabinho Casemiro could become available for 10m and we wouldn't be interested

 

[El Jefe]

I don't understand the links to him. We need a specialist DM or a controlling midfielder. The last thing we need is another midfielder that is similar in style to Fred and Mctominay. We need a player whose strength is passing the ball.

That is one of his strengths. He's just not someone who controls games from deep (not yet anyway), nor should we put that on a 18 year old.

How close are we? Sancho June level close or last year close level?

 

[Robertd0803]

But it doesn't matter, if you have the chance to sign an elite talent like Camavinga you go for it.

Exactly. Imagine if we waited to sign Rooney/Ronaldo until a year later.

 

[Ali Dia]

Sounds like he wants PSG so probably think more like Bellingham before he went to Dortmund!

 

[reddevilz007]

Is Camavinga Pogba’s replacement?

 

[Drz]

I heard he already has quite an ego since his breakthrough season, would be wary of this one... If it is around the same money, Renato sounds a safer bet right now.

 

[VP89]

Is he as good as Renato Sanches is playing right now?

 

[Ali Dia]

Is he as good as Renato Silva is playing right now?

Better passing and vision. Renato has a world class engine and he’s a monster physically. Camavinga would hopefully be a more complete player when he peaks.

 

[flappyjay]

Is he as good as Renato Sanches is playing right now?

It's what I am thinking right now.

 

[kouroux]

Is he as good as Renato Sanches is playing right now?

Nowhere near that

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Getting either him or Bellingham over the next year would be quite the shrewd business and could potentially revamp our midfield for the future

Surely Bellingham if its a choice between the two?

you're invested in this one aren't you

 

[Redcy]

Bellingham is bvb 90m price tag. Sanchez probably 60m, camavinga probably 45m. Trouble is he looks like a psg bound player

Sanches started 15 games for Lille last season…He isn’t worth 60m!!! Got to love a fanbase that wanks over renato sanches whilst half this forum simultaneously argues that we should sell Paul fecking Pogba

 

[Ali Dia]

you're invested in this one aren't you

You gotta. It’s the hope that kills you

 

[Lash]

Sanches is definitely this year's flavour of the tournament. Baros vibes.

 

[Rolaholic]

Sanches is definitely this year's flavour of the tournament. Baros vibes.

He seems to rise to the occasion in these tourneys, he originally broke through during the last Euros when they won and has arguably been Portugal's best player this time.

Definitely feel like whoever signs him would be getting a much better player than the one we saw on loan at Swansea from Bayern years ago. His game has matured a lot since then and he looked much improved overall for Lille last season.

Just hope it's not Klopp and the Scousers...

 

[NoLogo]

I just had a vision. Him on the left and Renatos Sanches on the right of a 4-3-3 midfield with Rice or Kamara as the anchor behind them.

Have you seen him play this season?

 

[Ali Dia]

Have you seen him play this season?

Only bits in the Champions League and he wasn’t great at all to be honest but his play the season before was freakishly good for his age.

 

[JJ12]

Renato Sanches is this years Karel Poborksy award winner.

wont this be the second time he’s won it?

 

[Paxi]

I swear people wank over Renato Sanches every tournament and then he goes back to obscurity. When will people learn?

Possibly. Well just have to wait and see.

Sheesh lets pinch you and wake you up from this nightmare

 

[Inigo Montoya]

46 games compared to a 38 Prem season where he played about 36 of them…. I’d say is a full season. It’s okay though not everyone can claim to know what goes on at St Andrew’s.

Obviously I don’t but I’m not convinced that he started and played the full match in all those games. That would be ridiculous for kid of his age. He’s either a beast of a player or going to be injured sooner or later

 

[Moiraine]

Then you heard on your shoulder: “The night is dark and full of terror”.

Ah yeah, let's continue with the McTrash-Fred combination, what a blessing our midfield reality is, indeed.

 

[VP89]

You say every tournament like he's some seasoned player. He's 23 and was likely thrust to the big stage too soon 4 years ago.

He had a consistently good season domestically and won the French league with Lille so it's a bit of a different comparison at this stage.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Brilliant player. Would be an amazing signing. Has played closer to a pure dm role the season before last, whereas last season he played more of a box to box role since it made better use of his incredible talent on the ball. He's about as well-rounded as a cm possibly could be which is perfect for us and exactly the type of player we should be after. He could be asked to sit back against the strongest teams for extra protection and be given licence to influence play further up the pitch against weaker teams. I do know Real was his dream move which is the only thing that would concern me, and now the suggestions are PSG is his 1st option so sounds like he needs convincing. Should be about as safe a transfer as you could possibly get based on talent, since at the age of 18 he's already among the best box to box cms in the world. Just need to make sure he is actually happy to join us.

Not sure you could really say this.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Whether people agree or not, it's clear what type of midfielder Ole wants. His bids for Bellingham, Caicedo, and recent interest in Camavinga suggest he wants an all-round midfielder to play in a pivot.

Instead of having your typical, one goes forward, one stays back midfield partnership, Ole wants his midfielders to dovetail, as we often see when Fred and McTominay play.

and you think that’ll improve with sanches and rice? you can do better my man
