A Premier League Luongo.
Super-intelligent in and out of possession. Great engine. Champions League experience.
Free transfer.
What's. not. to. like. |  | | |  |

Superb pedigree. |  |

I'm not sold on this one.
OK, if back up, but never played in a top league. |  |

Apart from The Champions League, obviously.
And the top league in Portugal? |  |

Absolutely not. The lad knows ball. He's been a regular player for one of the biggest clubs in Portugal for 4 years.
I know Leeds were taking a very serious look at him this summer. | | | |

In terms of a Top 5 European league, he hasnt played in one.
Some early Champions League appearances. You have to remember, early round CL matches are often against teams who are not PL level opposition.
Like I say, OK if a squad player, but it doesnt excite me. | |

He played in a Champions League quarter final last season vs Arsenal.... | |

A bit club in Portugal, but thats not a Top 5 league.
I wouldnt say superb pedigree.
But hopefully a decent squad player. | |

6 seasons in the top Portuguese league plus Champs League experience.
Fair to say you might not be sold, unfair to say never played in a top league.
Portugal is 6th in the co-efficient, ahead of Holland and Belgium. |  |

Yeeeeah...
Except he lined up for Sporting against Arsenal in the CL last 8.
Honestly, don't slate a player/signing unless you really know what he's about.
This is a really good fit for our pivot. Metronomic player who rarely misplaces a pass or a tackle. Great positional sense. It's like Luongo with even better talent/pedigree. | | | |

Far more pedigree than Tanaka who had never played above the German 2nd tier. He is a superb pick up on a free. | | | |

Or we could put together a list of players who didn't play in top 5 leagues who have gone on to be pretty decent. | |

If my memory is correct, he's a slightly more defensive Tanaka.
Technically excellent, work rate is superb - tidy with the ball.
If it's on a free, I can't see too many downsides to this. | |

6th, exactly. Not great.

Hehehe, you've moved those goal posts there Mullers! 
So, you must think even less of the Dutch GK then! | |

Never judge until you actually watch over a few games got to be decent to get that amount of games at a decent side and 40 caps for Japan. | | | |

Portugal is 6th in the co-efficient, ahead of Holland and Belgium. |
In fact, last season the top league in Portugal was rated 4th on the UEFA Co-Efficient ahead of Italy and France. | |

We need experienced players right now and in this position so why not.
However.... he missed out on the WC this summer due to injury concerns so ups and downs with this potential singing. |  | | |

Nope. I only reference the Top 5 European leagues as 'Top Leagues'.
He he he. 😉
Its OK to disagree. | |

I just wouldnt call it 'superb pedigree'. Like I said, hopefully a good squad player. | |
