Player Watch - Carlos Vinícius

What did JJ say?

JJ maintained for weeks that there was an under the radar striker target, and then when the first round of stories broke about Vinicius said that's who he'd been referring to.

All hail @JJetset

And Trix

It’s a fantastic deal for all involved. From the player’s perspective, he knows this is only a temporary move and he must perform if he wants to stay permanently. From our perspective, we get a motivated striker who, if it doesn’t work, will go back to his club, no stress trying to sell him and hopefully a more experienced Parrott returning. And for Benfica, they either get their player back or they get £37m at the end of the season.

Also leaves us with funds to focus entirely on Skriniar.

Does sound like a good deal from our point of view I’d imagine there must be a decent loan fee in there too

No need to send Toby there

I get the impression at least 3 people forgot Vertonghen played for Benfica.

Excellent work Trix and JJ (wherever you may be). I was initially not for this when we were first linked, thought he was a bit of a lump, but having watched/read some stuff about him - and most crucially of all listened to Jose's talk about 'needing a presence' - he seems like a great choice for that role.

Crucially, if we want to go 2 up top, it would allow Kane to completely drop off and have more room to operate because Vinicius plays off the shoulder of the CBs. He's big, fast and gets into good positions, all we can ask for really.

Happy fucking days lads, a back up striker at last!

 

[dondo]

IF we do sign this guy and the inter CB without knowing the numbers regarding non homegrown players we must be 3/4 over and would have to shift a few out

Just to make sure I was joking

 

[mark87]

No idea who he is, but I like him.

He was good with Bruno news last year

More from Goncalo Lopes...

Reds prefer selling and have other offers from Italy and Spain
The Benfica and Tottenham are negotiating the loan Carlos Vinicius, found the platform next to the next process source. Talks continue at this point, but there is still no white smoke.

There is still no white smoke because Benfica has other offers for the definitive sale of the Brazilian striker, something more to the liking of the reds. However, the player, top scorer of the last league, prefers the Premier League and Tottenham . José Mourinho is looking for a forward to attack the spurs, since he only has Harry Kane and Carlos Vinicius is to his liking.

Jorge Mendes, businessman from Mourinho and Carlos Vinícius, is at the forefront of the negotiations and could be decisive in this process. Benfica have not yet accepted the offer, but Tottenham have also made it clear that they will not wait much longer for a decision.

Just came to post this. Sounds like a proper Mendes tap up job. Benfica wanting to get a sale for elsewhere but the player is dead set on us.

No wonder Benfica fans are said to hate Mendes.
