So the Benfica manager has basically said he doesn't think he'll add anything to his team so we're signing him? Really not getting this one.

Looking at him on YouTube looks like a very attacking midfielder, very quick, possibly a good no.10....something we've been missing for a long time. Low risk loan, worth a gamble.

A loan is a cost-effective way of plugging an urgent gap. Plus the lad might be very good.

If Cabaye is going to play every game to the end of the season then we need to rest him as much as possible as well. Looks like this lad could be a nice option to bring on. Or do we assume Benfica gave him a five year deal because he's crap?

He looks a good squad addition.

How committed will this guy actually be. Just bizarre even by our crazy world Obviously being signed as a short term fix for RLC. Not 100% sure whats weird about that? Means our funds are saved for the positions we need to strengthen. IE Keeper and Striker. Imagine we might do something similar for a defender.
