So just a cockney way of saying Hillary... him and Harry might have got on. Anyways, a defender with pace is always nice. Sounds like could be a decent young signing. Perhaps his pace could help get him out of trouble whilst he's still learning (like Walker).

There must be something about this player I am not aware of as no big clubs are after him it seem. If he's so darn fast, very good in the in the air, good on the ball....why are Barca not snapping him up at £8-9m?! He's got everything that Barca lack in their CD.
He seem like the real deal to me based on reports about him.... but only watched him once and it's hard to judge a player from 1 game, youtube and scouting reports.

Because Barca can pretty much sign whoever they want from any team in the World, why would they be interested in a player that isnt even a regular for Sporting?

I would have said so.

And if he was born in the UK, that's another one on the home grown list! which at this point cant be a bad thing.
That's not how it works... Nationality doesn't matter, it's how long you've been trained in the country. Must be trained in uk for minimum of 3 years prior to turning 21 iirc.

If you had read what i wrote my point was exactly that, IF he is as good as the reports why have none of the big clubs snappet him up already.

Besides, he was a regular for Sporting the last part of last sesong. And btw, Barca missed out on Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and most likely David Luiz as will, so it is not as if they can have and defender they like..

I said "pretty much" any defender they like. Also, any "reports" on players are just one guys opinion(usually a journalist) at the end of the day, and shouldnt be taken as gospel. We're looking at him as a potential 3rd/4th choice CB, which should tell you that he's not good enough for Barca at this point in time.

Was going to post the exact same thing. Aside from our incredible transfers the Liverpool target snatching has been the highlight of the window for me

And as someone mentioned above, the nickname Hilary just beckons
