Sounds like a real risk this. Think that sporting fan knows we are getting mugged off but didn’t wanna make it sound that bad.

One of those. He's got talent but he's maybe not what's needed right now - however he does fit the profile of player that's needed in terms of stature etc.

The fan himself said he's a harsh critic too.
 

I read through a bunch of comments on a thread about Chermiti on Sporting’s equivalent of GOT. It has about 3,200 replies, so I skimmed from the beginning to the end and picked random comments.

The salient points that came up for me:

His mystery injury last year was pubalgia, a sports hernia, and he was rushed straight to the senior team after recovering.

There seemed to be some debate about that and annoyance at management for not letting him recover properly, but he seemed to do fine. At least one person seemed to think they were rushing his development to make a quick sale, and when you fast forward to now, someone is making the case that this is a good bit of business. He has potential but physically and in style of play better suits English football. They’re wishing him well and telling themselves that yes, he’s big and strong (they’ve also lamented that their other strikers are weak and he’s the best option in some situations) but he’s young and may never be great. But people were surprised at how much he’d improved after returning from injury.

On his family, there was some annoyance over his father managing him and negotiating for better pay with the team. He ended up with a better deal and fans were happy that they had him secured through 2025. In response to the criticism, it was pointed out that his parents were both professional basketball players. His dad was a Tunisian international and has won a championship of some kind professionally in Portugal. He has an uncle who was also a professional athlete, and I forget the detail about his sisters, but it sounded like they were successful athletes as well. The short version is that he comes from a family of athletes who know the business.

There were lots of posts about his potential, about club mismanagement, and one complaint in particular that stood out, saying that Sporting is terrible at developing strikers, so maybe it’s good for Chermiti’s development to leave.

ToffeeTV had a sporting fan on video link and he said that Amorim was facing a striker crisis.

There was another in the B team who was scoring more than Chermiti and so it was a surprise when Amorim went with Chermiti.

The rumour was that Chermiti only had 6months left on his deal...so Amorim told him he'd be in the team if he signed an extension.

Chermiti signed and was put into the team.
