Isn't he slow? I really want another pacey centre-half.

Looks ok of he  is back up, or we move to a back 3

I think it's a sign that one of the brightest prospects in years has his head all over the place. The best thing for him is a reboot at Benfica.

Plus I doubt even if allowed we'd want to sign a player on 50% rights. He reminds me of Dani. Of course you don't remember.  There's a reason for that.

I do remember him. From the era where West Ham had that ridiculously baggy kit with the enormous pointy collar.

Yup. Also the subject of a pretty famous and sweary Harry Redknapp quote.

After that loan from Sporting to West Ham he was sold to Ajax managed by Cruyff who loved him and later took his number 14 shirt out of retirement and insisted Dani wear the number. When Cruyff left for Barca that was pretty much the end of Dani. 23 years old, world at his feet and he gave up. Benfica and Atletico (DivII) followed and he retired at 27.

I doubt Unai wants or needs a project with Felix.

Aston Villa have already made first contact and are already negotiating with Toluca for 24-year old, Maxi Araújo

The Mexican side will only sell if his €20m release clause is met - [@edu17burgos via@diarioas]

The boy can play

We badly need a left-back/left-winger.

I don't get it. Why don't we believe in the right anymore?

Pretty sure that around the same time they had Dani West Ham also had the success story of Marco Boogers.

Not really.

He's not Konsa quick, but he's not Tielemans slow either.

He is another that is left footed though.

Unless they are concerned about Mings, I would have thought we would bring in a right footed CB.
