Rolando

[Montasura]

The last thing we need is buying players cause Pleat can't spell. Next thing you know we'll be buying Moshi.

That Moshi is a real monster!!

 

[Stoof]

In other words we fucked up selling caulker and not getting his replacement sorted first and now we're scrambling round for any half arsed replacement

Hardly scrambling. Bit dramatic.

 

[sunnydelight786]

He has been far from convincing of late. Oh well we will have to trust our manager on this one. Seems like the deal for Vlad is dead....

now that would be deadly. we could use rolando and moshi asi wide forwards and stick grant hall upfront!

Are there any Porto players the press haven't linked us with left?

 

[easley91]

Simple journalist maths.

Take CB injuries + Caulker sold + Vlad deal reportedly off + Bale money + Rolando played under AVB = link!

 

[shelfmonkey]

Not what need, what with him being short, fat, wears glasses and eats cake!!!!

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Think the Vlad deal will be resurrected personally, or the lad from Sporting, Tiago Ilori, seems a bit more in fitting with the clubs vision.

 

[Sweech]

I wish we would have a go at Kyriakos Papadopoulos instead. he's class. and he's linked with liverpool so it'd be hilarious to "steal" yet another signing from them.

I would to. Aside from Mangala he's my favourite young CB and is absolutely dynamite in the air.

Any word on how much Schalke are looking for him?

And while it's being ressurected we are playing THudd alongside Dawson on first fixtures, that is if we are lucky. Could be Naughton and Fryers with injury to Daws on remaining pre-season fixtures and Huddle being sold.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Now, I wouldn't really understand this as he's more of a Caulker type than a Chiriches type.

 

[absolute bobbins]

Sleep addled brain read Ronaldo, rubbed eyes and read Rolando

Most press reports quote around £20m

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Rolando was and I say 'WAS' one of the most highly rated centre backs a couple of years ago ... then he picked up a bad injury and instead of returning to fitness as a quality centre back, he sadly morphed into Gary Doherty.

 

[Tyler24durden]

We need to steer well clear of Rolando, I'd prefer to have kept Caulker than sign this guy.

Doesn't have the pace to cope with a high line system and is massively off form.

Mangala would be a good investment or Kurt Zouma if we wanted top players that be long term investments too.

Avb now trying Rolando from #FCPorto . 6m euros. #thfc

I don't like the move if I'm honest. I think he's on the downswing and I think anything more than 5m Euros is an overpay these days.

Also, the way "@HotspurRelated" wrote the tweet I honestly read it way too fast and thought it said AVB was gone for 6m Euros. I had a mini-heart attack.

Got that whiff about it don't it?

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

I rated him a couple of years ago under AVB.

Would be good cover.

I hope to fuck we agree terms with clubs before we confirm Bale. I'd pick Hudd or an U21 to start at CH rather than repurchase Ricardo Rocha.
