    Looks promising DTLW - we certainly need some cover in there with Long gone.

    I've not heard of him before. Can anyone shed any more light? Any FIFA nerds?

    Yes! Very good player. But DTLW, you've let yourself down. Where's the Saint Filip title?

    Isn't it a nice feeling having this little black box? Unlike most clubs, when an unknown player looks to be signing, we aren't questioning who he is and wondering whether he'll be rubbish. A definite feeling of optimism when new names are linked. COYR ... edit - most of us aren't questioning who!! haha

    Don't know much about him, but he is highly rated. He was very good in the dutch league before he signed for Benfica, Koeman probably knows him from his time there (I think it was Heerenven or Twente, can't bother to google it)

    Sounds like addition and something that is likely to happen ! The black box at work again.

    I know we've all had our fingers burned with De-Riddergate but from the video he certainly looks a talent - good turn of pace and comfortable with both feet. £32M buy out clause would suggest that he's very highly rated too.

    Koeman would know him from his time at Heerenveen. He was great for them, but haven't seen him since he moved. He is skillful and was a good little passer for Heerenveen, if I remember rightly he set up a fair few goals.

    Beefy, is this who you hinted at previously on the transfer thread?

    Not to sound all negative. But all Portugese teams put in stupidly high buy out clauses into contracts. It's how most of them make money if the player turns out a star.

    Is this likely enough to happen for me to change the title to "Saint Filip!"?

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if we had wanted to buy Djuricic we could have done so for a lot less than 32m.

    Still, seems like a decent move. He's got some talent and Koeman has seen him and will hopefully know how to get the best of him.

    Spot on, they've found their players have been easy to poach; this is very much a new thing in Portugal but seems to be very much the craze

    Some of those goals are worthy of you-know-who.
