Well we do need 2/3 CMs |  |

Would be handy if it's us, someone to rotate with Azor for that defensive CM role |  |

Or were getting Luis, Lukic and Palacios?!!! Followed by Enciso?! That would calm a few nerves. |  | |  |

Wan Bissaka for that RB slot would be nice too |  |

Im not too keen on the fee tbh and dont want to be that guy who says "SIGN A MIDFIELDER" and then moans about the one we sign. But im just not sure how good he is. Hasn't looked convincing at all anywhere other than Benfica and worry about his lack of athleticism to an already not very athletic midfield. |  |

| Florentino Luis on 21:49 - Aug 1 with 5345 views | burnbudgiesburn | This might be us. Not one i'm over excited about mainly due to Burnley fans comments about him. You don't get to play for Benfica as CDM for a few years if you are total gash however. |  | |  |

Not exactly thinking outside the box if it’s us. More big money on a relegated midfielder that just played a season in the England. There’s the Stach like signing. [Post edited 1 Aug 21:57]

Lovely stuff … |  | |  |
| Florentino Luis on 23:49 - Aug 1 with 4233 views | burnbudgiesburn | Just in case this is us, been reading more on the Burnley forum. Some mixed views but not all bad. https://www.uptheclarets.com/m 'I think his game is probably more suited to us in the Premier League as he’s exceptional at breaking up play but less accomplished passer.' (should be noted he had a 85.5% pass success rate) ' He's there to win the ball and keep it simple, there's a role for him at Burnley. He never gave the impression that he didn't care either.' 'He's a very specific sort of player, almost a pure DM/Anchor. In that regard his performances are quite dependent on who he's paired with' 'He’s failed the eye test in many senses, but a lot of his stats for players in a defensive midfield role aren’t terrible. There’s every chance that a data led recruitment club take a chance on him' 'I saw him make some tackles no one else in our squad can make, and many interceptions.' 'A good player when used correctly he is not a playmaker DM he is just a get it and give it to someone with more ability type of player. If played in the right way with the correct players around him he would be a beast in the championship and decent in the prem' 'The stats would suggest he's a decent defensive midfielder but he was in a struggling team, that wasn't defending well from the front ' ' I think when he played as an orthodox holding player in a midfield 3 ahead of a back four, he looked good. But for long periods we played a back 5 with only 2 central midfielders, which demands a huge amount of athleticism. That isn't his strength, and particularly as a player adapting to the Premier League, he struggled in that system. But that doesn't make him a bad player,we just need to play to his strengths. If we do, then with a year to adapt yo England behind him, I think there's a good player in him.' |  | |  |

I thought the same but the comments on turf cast are worth reading. Some promising stuff on there. |  | |  |

Ive watched a lot of him going back to Benfica and I think he has aspects of his game I really like but I do just have some reservations. I would imagine he is coming in to replace/alternate with Matusiwa and I can get on board with that I think. I would be really worried to see them playing together just due to the lack of mobility in that midfield. |  |

| Florentino Luis on 14:09 - Aug 2 with 2900 views | burnbudgiesburn | I'd be up for it, he does the not so sexy stuff in a team so doesn't set the pulses racing. But has a lot of champions league experience. My one issue is the potential fee. If we pay the same as Burnley paid Benfica then that's a £20m signing. All our £20m+ signings have tended to be aged 22-23 max so we have good resell value. This guy will be 27 at the start of the season. |  | |  |

We can’t make a profit on everyone. Sometimes you have to pay for experience. |  | |  |
