Probable starting 11:

Not too happy about that 11 but it is expected that he will go for the safer route for now.

If it helps any a Porto fan I know rated him thus:

Apparently he's a player who didn't suit Porto's system, and wasn't hugely rated by the fans - but some hold the view that surrounded by better players/system he will thrive. However she also added that Sanches is a pile of p*ss and hopes we don't sign him.

I'm just going to wait and see with him, he definitely has talent from the little I've watched, but that's not all that is needed to succeed.

I just hate when people make up their minds about players before they've given them the proper time. Lots of players take time to fit in. Even Modric in his first year at Real wasn't all that good.

It's why I stress how important it is for us to get a good striker who will not only assure us a certain amount of goals but also take the pressure off of Silva so he can adjust and hopefully live up to his billing. Because if he does, we'll have a gold mine on our hands in terms of marketing potential with this one.

As for Renato, the talent is there imo. The kind of football he played for Benfica and the Euros showed that, he made a mistake going to a team like Bayern so early in his career. And if we can get him on an option to buy deal we should jump at the chance

I'm allowed to be scared.

You are, I am to on the inside, but I can't see him getting much space once the entire squad is assembled and at Montella's disposal
