Let's not forget that he was just 20 at the Euros.

Nothing really new, as the suggestion he was already in England was in the newspaper piece, but the journo who was mentioned earlier has just repeated the claim. Goncalo LopesNélson Oliveira already in England, waiting for the total agreement between Benfica and #Stoke City

Has he played consecutive games starting? That could be a reason for the poor goal to game ratio.

Has he played consecutive games starting? That could be a reason for the poor goal to game ratio. As posted on the new signings thread.. He started only 2 games in his 30 apps for Deportivo last season. Both of which he scored in. He only played the equivelant of 9 matches in minutes over those 30 appearances. In which he scored 4 goals.

And that's a genuine question because I have no idea other than it computes with my thinking that he's not as good as the hype says.

Maybe he had the JP treatment or the Jerome treatment from their manager? Maybe because he is young they only used him as a sub? I have no explanation either. He was called up to the Portugal side too, even after making so few appearances in the League :/ I just think he's got the qualities were looking for in a player. Young and hungry, fast, powerful and can finish. If we were paying big money for him then I'd be more inclined to look at somebody more 'proven'. It's a loan though which means someone can come in ASWELL AS Nelson.

Totally see where you are coming from bayern but he's only 21 and we can't really go wrong with a loan deal, if he can start to live up to his potential we have got a hell of a player on our hands.

A loan with an option to buy will be a good deal IMO.

I hope so, he just wreaks of hype to me and has done nowt to back that up. There's a time to start I guess.....

From the next big thing to unable to get into a relegated side (and being whistles by his own fans when he did).

From the next big thing to unable to get into a relegated side (and being whistles by his own fans when he did). It's bloody odd. I'd be well up for this one if it involved sticking him in the development squad! But to replace KJ/Crouch or Jerome/Walters from the bench? I really aren't convinced he could do it. Time will tell.

Whatever sick and sordid games you and the future Mrs Why get up to shouldn't be discussed on here. (In answer to the question: maybe.)

I think it's a very interesting and positive new direction but the hierarchy at Stoke aren't stupid. Today won't be neglected for the benefit of tomorrow.
