Linked with moves to both Arsenal and Chelsea.
17 goals in 20 games for Sporting Lisbon this season.

One that got away?

With a name like that I’m not surprised 😁

Would have been a brilliant signing but I'm not sure how close we ever got to actually signing him. I think it probably went as far as an enquiry into what Coventry wanted, and we then turned our attention to Foster.

Think I remember reading that he turned down Everton and West Ham to join Sporting so I don’t think it was one that was ever really in our grasp tbh

Didn’t get away as such.

He’s a good player but still think he’ll struggle in the Prem where the defenders levels above either Championship or Premeira Liga standards.

pretty sure he didn't want to come to us and we couldn't afford him

Couldn’t afford him ? Fee or wages ? How much did we spend on Tresor and Ramsey ?

If we had based our transfer choices on our weaker positions we may have bought him

I had a gut instinct that we were keen, but after the O'Hare stuff, it was hard to do anymore business with them in Jan
