Could this be our right-sided Amavi? Looking at how quick he is and how he looks with the ball at his feet he looks like a full back to me.

Could end up being a master stroke to turn him into a right back.

Ian Ross and Alun Evans are another two I can think of.

Who?

Why don't Liverpool want him?

And, welcome, hopefully you're great!

Would our head of recruitment been working at Liverpool when the signed him?  If so he probably knew a fair bit about him in Portugal and whilst at Liverpool.  It that is correct then its a pretty solid recommendation.

I'm considering this a good move because what I believe is Rodgers wouldn't know a good central defender if it smashed him in the face. This kid might be great whereas he spent 20m on Lovren.

Well I don't know what he's like but the accusers are going mad on their forums.

Fair enough - that makes sense.

Master stroke by TS if he turns out to be a great RB.

Accusers is about right. Some of their online support could have an argument with their own arse.

He's meant to be agile and skilful but not the strongest

He's not really reported to be a right back but if he can be a better middle ground between hutton's reliability and bacuna's better quality in some attacking positions (by no means all) it could be a good signing
