João Palhinha

Pleased with this. Will add some much needed experience and physicality to the team.
Premier league proven is always good too so hopefully will hit the ground running.

Personally I’d be more happy to see Bissouma go. I feel like Bentancur at the top of his game is better.

Agreed pal but it's a low bar now. Unfortunately I feel Bents legs have gone since he had that injury, and Bissouma is a liability and just crap more than he is brilliant.

Bentancur /Bissouma gone. Both just passengers in most games they play.
Nonsense! Bentacur is a fantastic player, as we will see this season...........and will be even better with a DM behind him....

He won't play. No chance he and palinha play together unless Frank wants to bore the opposition to death.
 
I'm hoping this will become an experienced loan signing of the same calibre as Eider Gudjohnsen - Different position and circumstance but looks like exactly what we need. Savvy move and I don't think teams will look forward to playing against us.

It's only on paper / 1s and 0s but first XIs I'm cooking up in my head look so much more robust with Palhinha in there.

Defensively on paper and with the way Frank plays I've no doubt we will be solid. But attacking wise we are lacking, and that was before the Maddison injury. We really do need some quality reinforcements up in the attacking positions if we have aspirations of doing anything....
 
We have signed the least Portuguese looking Portuguese ever.

He's what we need, sometimes it's not about the £60m superstar its about shoring up a very obvious gap in the squad. He's our six. Next we need a 10 and an 11.
