Until it's officially announced I'm not going to get excited. However looks promising for sure.

Fantastic stuff. Hats off to Marinakis, Vrenztos and Karanka for making this happen.

Seems a lot of money for championship but does show us know operating at a different level in terms of potential so great work.Fingers crossed it pays off

Whilst getting texts on my mobile about Leeds Utd doing this & that what with a big Manager and big name players supposedly about to sign for them I like our approach in doing business under the radar (out of the media).
If this double signing actually come off I would be astonished, wow just wow, which if memory serves leads me to my second point, was it Brittass that currently holds the clubs record for Transfer deal 5.5Million with add ons brings it to 7Million.
If I remember correctly this was printed in the N Post by Tails.
Again I am blown away if this actually comes off, great work by all those at the top table for making this happen. very very very very happy Red.

Comments of the 2 lads from The Benfica fans.
We are getting 2 absolute gems
Better be loans or some kind of clause that doesn't screw us, despite them being kind of disappointing with the A team (More João than Diogo), they showed promise in the youth ranks and the B team."
"I'm not opposed to loaning Diogo, as long as there's no option to buy, and it's just a loan. João Carvalho I think he can be a option for next season. I think it would be retarded to sell any of these two for not playing after a season where they never counted for the coach, it's André Horta all over again. And there's other episodes like that as well."
"it was very dumb from Benfica to put João Carvalho on the B team again after he had a very good half of season at Vitória last year imo"
"wouldn't be the first time our board mismanages a player and then uses that as a excuse to sell them. after all the talk about starting to play academy players they get sold year later."
"Diogo can go. His football would be great in England, but not here, he doesn't have enough quality to play for us. João is a whole different case. It's mental to be selling him. Loan him to Braga, in a year he will be ready to play for us..."
"I was hoping to see João Carvalho play for our senior team more often, I guess that's over, sad but not surprised."
"Carvalho is a great player. Great dribble and vision. Fast. Maybe lacks a bit of strength to face bigger defenders but makes up for it with skill. He's imo better suited as an attacking midfielder but can play like a pure midfielder in a 3 men midfield. Diogo is a creative winger who can also play attacking midfield. Even more skilled than carvalho but lacks a bit of decision making imo. Both will be huge stars for the championship no doubt. Kinda like Jota and Neves for wolves."
"As already said, J.Carvalho is a great football player. Diogo is an excellent winger, warded the best player in the last U-20 WC"
"You'd think we learned from the past, but no. Let's sell players for peanuts when we're in need of them. Diogo Gonçalves looked good this season imo, and beacause we have too many wingers I do agree in sending him on loan for a season, but João Carvalho? For 15M? f**k off. All that talk about our "project" and making a team out of the players coming through.... f**k off Vieira."
"Selling Horta to give space to Carvalho, sell Carvalho, f**k off"

Great reading thanks
RE: Diogo Goncalves & Joao Carvalho - ac_vodka - 07-06-2018
I still question the money but then remember we sold Oli Burke having only played a handful of games for 13 m - its the market we operate in for young potential talent. We aren`t buying finished articles here but hopefully a upside on investment. Thanks for context red73.
RE: Diogo Goncalves & Joao Carvalho - JWJW - 07-06-2018
Its a risk you have to take.
You can see the plan...........buy him now for 13m Euro..........get promoted to the PL.........his value will be 30m Euro overnight.......... The other guy is the same, we have him on the basis on a loan with the potential to make it permanent, this will be the upside for Benfica, if we get promoted to the PL and buy him then Benfica get a lot more money for him than now.........so you see the reasoning behind one signing and one being loan - its everyone just hedging their bets. Everyone wins if we are promoted to the PL.
Really is going to be fascinating the ins and outs of this summer - I truly believe we will be a formidable force next season.
