    Is that Waggy's Portuguese brother?
    A bit of Morgan Fox in there too.

    He will have good pedigree coming out of the Benfica academy at least.

    After watching that Video, why is he without a club or an agent ? A touch of the Bielik's about him ? 
    The question of going to men's football from youth is a massive hurdle because of the physicality of the men's game.

    Not a bad debut today. Got his foot in and tidy in possession. Did get caught on the ball a couple of times but possibly not up to speed. Looked reasonably tall by our standards.
    Hes a Cullen type?

    Yep - he’s injured as well. 
    No doubt lol. But a  cullen type is what we need and wondered if he fits the bill. Gallen and Bowyer must be looking surely

    The video is from 4 years ago ..... when he was just 15.

    Can't judge a player on a highlights reel.... just as bad as a certain Roland scout....

    True this.

    watch the highlights of that Orient game with Semedo’s towering header and you’d think he’s a proper defensive player who’s great at getting in the box.

    and that Orient has a really shit lumbering striker called Harry Kane

    Two footed. Big and strong. Good in the tackle. Got a trick or two. Good eye for a pass.

    He looks very very good from that evidence.  Seems strange he is without a club. Maybe he’s had an injury but looks like one to watch

    I think he looks average, and that’s his highlights. But he was 15 then, and presumably so are the others.

    None of that matters though as Steve G will know how good he is now.

    Shouldn't judge him on a four year old video.

    Instead, how about the club get him over on trial and give him a run out in the U23s? 

    Radical idea I know but worth a try?
