I doubt there's much truth in this. After all it's from tribalfootball and their source is "the Star". So I wouldn't get to excited Spursking.

I googled his name and I got this from youtube, he looks pretty good. But he's young so he's not the answer to our left wing at the moment. But as you would say Spursking, "One for the future".

Well why not. We do need a left winger (ie not just left sided but a wide man). So we can strech a team with Lennon on the other wing. Old news I know but if we keep saying it they might listen eventually.

Portugal seem to be creating a ridiculous amount of quality wide players at the moment. Ronaldo, Quaresma, Nani, Fernandes, Simao, and it seems more and more young talent coming through.

Lucky they can't seem to create a single decent centre forward or their national team would be looking shit ot in a couple of years.

He has quick movements, has a lot of pace, good with the balll, and also good vision.

Very talented player with a great future ahead.

That sounds promising.

Wikipedia said:
Coentrão has been compared to Rui Costa and Luís Figo (he was given the nickname "Figo das Caxinas" when he played for Rio Ave)

That sounds great as well. He could be worth a go.

he looks a little lightweight but is tall and has very good close control. I liked the way he dominated the touchline and stretched the play. Very encouraging.

He only just signed for Benfica. He hasn't even made his debut yet.

yep, and we've got coentrao, veirinha, fabio paim coming through.. if Djalo, Vaz Te or Almeida don't live upto their potential then we're going to have to stick Ronaldo upfront lol.

And yeah, like Joey said, Coentrao only just signed with Benfica. He's one for the future ..stupid hair though
