    12 appearances for Portugal's under 21's. Porto's first team, all the right back's are injured.
    Article by David Friel who yesterday announced:
    "Rangers plan to match Celtic's offer for Powell in Old Firm tug of war
    By Alan Nixon, David Friel"

    Even though Gerrad came out and denied it, just like some of the other stories this shitposting newspaper keeps throwing in.

    Over on the wikipedia revision history three people were updating the Wiki with the usual IRA reference, one from Glasgow, Scotstoun, the other from Westminster.

    Anyway, regardless of the potential for more lies from The Sun, he looks like a good prospect, from the sort of places we should be looking, but their is no source on record and as such should be taken with a pinch of salt.

    Have you went from scouting obscure leagues to being an investigative journo?

    He was meant to be a massive talent at Porto regarding playing with the junior or the unders teams.

    But because Porto have spent money on the right back area his chances have been limited and not had a sniff at first team action.

    He is another project at this time and we need a first team ready right back now.

    If we are spending 2 million then we should be using it towards a ready first team player and not another project. He is no different to Raliston, well he has had more first team football.

    Looking at why he’s only had 3 games for Porto B, they bought a right back for 4M in the summer Joao Pedro and they’ve got another right back Yahaya who they paid just under 1M for last season. He’s obviously not highly rated but he must have something about him since a few teams were sniffing about him.

    Wait a minute, so there are decent RBs available for 4m or less.

    Someone should notify our scouting department immediately!

    Tbf mate the only team that was interested was juve. And certainly not to play in their serie a squad. He was approached to shore up their new colt serie c squad. Given his age thats pure depressing.

    The player actually doesnt look too bad, but would be an absolute back up to the back up. And no more.

    Thankfully BR seems to have doused these rumors cheap options for position.

    3 games for portos B team.... Given our recent history it sounds exactly like the type of player we would * 2 million on and be amazed a few months later when he turns out to be utter dogshit.

    We should scout in countries premiership leagues which are slightly worse than us (norway, sweden, slovakia etc) than us and sign their top players who would be genuinely excited to come to us (bayo type players).

    Yeah, they use the Brazilian market to great effect, where they bring in young prospects, get them visas, develop them, then sell them on for a huge profit.

    There’s no reason we can’t operate a similar system taking advantage of the Eastern Europe or Scandinavian markets, offering young players a chance to develop and make a name for themselves, before moving on to the bigger leagues.

    I know we do it to a degree, and Ajax also do it very well, but we should definitely be scouting those market far more extensively.

    Portugal does have a big advantage there though. It's far easier for Brazilians to get a Portuguese visa than it is for them to get a visa for any other European country. Means Portuguese clubs don't have as much competition for their signatures. Unfortunately we don't have the same situation with any Eastern European countries.

    I agree that it's a good market to tap into though.

    I thought it was easier for Eastern European’s to get a visa in Scotland rather than England, no?! Could be wrong on that point though :39:
