If the old defensive head is good for a squad, why not a young, hungry lad like this Portuguese fella who is clearly held in high regard and with a good future. Should be learning his trade with us.
They say if you're young enough, your good enough, but this lad is what, 20, 21? Not particularly young in comparison to some, and now in lower tier Spain. The mind boggles.

No European football and an early exit from the Carling Cup made it impossible to get any of the youngsters a game or two here.
There needs to be some kind of competitive football for youngsters who are too good for under age football but not quite ready for first 11.
Otherwise the only option is to send them on loan to get some games.

one thing this season should have taught you is that Brendan Rodgers has a plan and a vision that was executed near on perfectly this season.

I'm worried when we are being linked with second rated players and the club is back to it's old way of haggling with the selling clubs over a few million Quid's when we know what's at stake. We will ended up with some half-arsed signings that will not make us better team than what we currently have.
And what's all the sh it with us being linked to so many ex-Swansea players???

I back him to continue to succeed rather than spouting stupid negativity, hoping for failure.
