Quote from: ASHTONVILLA on June 23, 2022, 10:52:56 AMEvening mail linking us with a bid for Otavio, a right sided midfielder from Porto (no idea if he is any good).He's good but not for sale. Reports that we made a €30m bid for him but it was rejected. There are also claims that Leeds made the same bid with the same outcome. Possibly we're being used to push up the price. Not sure why we'd be after a winger. Porto have already sold Fábio Vieira to Arsenal and Vitinha looks likely to move to Paris Saint Germain so they won't want to lose their complete midfield.

I signed him on a free on Championship Manager and he was shite

You can put in a clause for any value and Porto are no fools, quite the opposite. They're brilliant at buying cheap and selling for a fortune, often taking the piss. At 27 I don't think it would be the best investment. The man works hard and doesn't go missing, he's more industrious than silky skills. What was it last season, 5 goals and 8 assists? In a Porto side I'd probably be close to reaching those figures. Let Leeds have him.

A right footed left back on reported £60k a week? Norwich fans are in no rush to see him back. Don't we have anybody from our own youngsters that could step up?
