The Blue Watch
Player Valuation: £15m
Your thoughts on Fonseca mate please?
Personally I know jack about him expect he's doing pretty well with Shakhtar which means we will end up with loads of random but boss Brazilians.
As you can imagine i'm all for him.
He failed at Porto which was the bit I followed a bit more closely, but they were going through turmoil at the time, having sold their best players the season before and failing to replace them properly. Sounds familiar... He got them going at first but things went pear shaped and he couldn't turn them around. The football was pleasing to watch, but his tactics a bit Martinezque.
That said, even though I haven't followed his career closely since, especially since he went to Shaktar, he's done well to adapt and rebuild his reputation in Portugal following Porto, and seems to be doing a great job in Ukraine. I'd rate Marco Silva as the better manager out of the 2 to be honest, but I'd still be far more excited about the potential of his appointment compared to big Sam.
Fonsceca doesn't speak English does he?Can't believe this is still dragging on.
He speaks it fluently.
