Of all the random strikers we’ve been linked with that I didn’t know anything about prior to seeing their name here, this is by far the least exciting.

Is this based on YouTube or did you watch him during last season? Genuine question.

If they're really holding out for anything even near 60 million euros then I can't see this happening, unless it's a Gedson Fernandes-style loan with option/obligation to buy.

Can see why Mourinho would want him though, it's his work outside the box that stands out.

He is going to be massive, massive, massive flop .... He doesn't have top flight experience at all .... Just don't go anywhere near him pls ... Such an average player and benfica would surely demand 40m+ for him ...

Watched one vid. Not a fan. Do they have anyone in Portugal who can actually play goalkeeper? Over half his goals were scuffers along through the keepers weak hands...
I don’t understand why you spend £50mil odd on this guy when you could get loads of other strikers for less...

Don’t look at me. I’m irrelevant.

Except this guy is 25, potentially more expensive, and lacks a lot of the stand-out qualities of the other two, apart form being a bit taller.
Honestly think he'd have high 'bust' potential.

Rather just buy troy deeney
100% YouTube. 1st highlight video I’ve ever seen where the first three things are a shot 3 feet over the bar and two horrific goalie errors. Shows very little speed. Nothing unique on the ball. He is big.

I like the fact that most of you have never heard of vinicius yesterday. And now you claim that he would be the Brazilian soldado or janssen because of youtube highlights

If this is the one we have been holding out for our scouting department need sacking pronto. Only spurs

Benfica have already rejected a £41m bid from an English club this summer lol...

Not sure what some of you are looking at. Unselfish, good feet, happy to play others in, strong ... It;s almost as though some folk have forgotten what Mourinho values ...

If we sign him I'd bet a fair chunk it wouldn't be a result of our scouting, but rather Jorge Mendes.
Which would not be a good thing.
