Goncalo Guedes at Valencia rumoured?
He has similar technique to Suarez (minus the [Poor language removed] housery), fights for every ball and can play on the left or through the centre. Good footballer.
 

Do you think that the hierarchy at other clubs look at fan forums to gauge how to rate players from other clubs? I have been thinking about this for some time now.

I've often wondered when fan forums such as this one slates/critiques there own players that the club are trying to sell/move on actually harms value, sale etc... In the eyes of potential investors.

Not sure we're I stand on this.
I get that forums are a way for fans to air thoughts and opinions about players but might we be actually doing more harm than good in relation to selling players on.

Example for Everton is Iwobi, I'm sure we would love to sell him but are we really helping with this due to our criticisms "deservedly BTW" do the other clubs (not fans) use our opinions as a measuring stick.

Equally do clubs use forums to try and make players seem better than they are in order to maximise profit, social media is so powerful nowadays.

Just wanted to hear your opinions.

Thanks everyone.

I think it’s more likely that these clubs send scouts to watch our players to see first hand how bad they are and that’s why they don’t buy them.

Yeah I think that is the case for the most part (especially some clubs) however do our scouts watch other players? because if thay have with certain players I would be questioning what they were watching. Or did the club use fans forums to form a decision.

I think the issue nowadays is everyone is obsessed with data, which can be so misleading. 'This players runs average 14km per game and has a pass completion of 90%', which could mean he's constantly caught out of position chasing shadows and only makes 10 yard passes backwards to his CBs

Quite a few Brazilians attainable this summer with teams needing cash or players at the stage of being able to make that next move.

Menino, Guimaraes, Antony, Emerson


I think Menino could actually be really good in that role Doucoure was playing in midfield where he would move across to the right.









Someone i posted about a number of times.

Didnt light things up immediately at Milan and their fans got on his back...seemed to suffer a loss of confidence OR just didnt adapt quickly to being in europe with alot of pressure on his shoulders at a massive team.

I said at that point we should go for him...not the quickest player but great vision and sees the next pass before he receives it.

Lyon have a good trio of brazilian midfielders with Paqueta, Mendes and Guimaraes

He would be crucified here
