Vitor Roque (loaned to Real Betis)

[Messigician]

He is far better than Endrick right now and the difference in age is not as much as people think ( around 18 months ).

The idea being thrown around here that he is similar to Depay seems to be typical BarcaForum negativity. He does everything quicker than Depay did while he was here. There is nothing slow about this guy. The only comparison that is realistic is El Pistol Suarez.

I'm starting to warm to his arrival. Looking at available strikers in the 35m bracket, I'm not sure there is anyone better right now.

Endrick is already valued more

Bad take

With Abde back, Fati finding his groove, that young lad from cantera, Raphinha staying.. I just don't see what's the point. He doesn't look that good either.

Abde, Fati and Raphinha are all wingers. We have only one CF and he is 35y old. This is a logical move. I only hope that he will be able to replace Lewa when the time comes.

 

[BusiTheKing]

He's redolent of Suarez in that he seems to get goals without his overall play seeming very productive and often amateurish. But Suarez was also afforded a frankly extraordinary degree of patience and tolerance when he fucked up. He had those priveleges because we knew his top level was immense.

Roque will obviously not have those priveleges.

Way he gets in between the defenders and pokes the ball in actually reminds me of Eto'o.

Coz his transfer to Madrid is official and that's affected his transfermarkt evaluation.

More talented player for sure though. But talent isn't everything.

No don't do that, why did you do that.

Getting my hopes up

 

[Luftstalag14]

Just hope we have the money to finalize it. I don't care if he can't get here until next year, just get it done.

 

[Skalman]

So is this deal done yet or not? reading here, it seem it has been done for quite some time but haven't actually seen anything official?
Maybe we finally found a player that actually can capitalize on Pedri`s passes...

Waiting for FFP to provide an opening. My bet is that we confirm him after the market is closed and incorporate him January earliest. This way doesn't impact the Cap for this window.

So basically a full season in SA then joins us, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Our first half of season (CL draw in mind) doesn't have any big away games. So we will be alright with the wait imo.

Your opinion is correct.

 

[JamDav1982]

Think he will arrive this summer.

If they have agreed 35m+10m fee and 3m salary as reported that is 'only' 10m a season on a 5 year contract and definitely doable should they move on players they expect to.

Getting him in January would be next option but it isnt as easy as saying will have him when CL knock outs come round as bedding him in before then and before business end of season would be a big advantage.

He needs to get settled and learn how team plays before that comes round if at all possible.

 

[Porque]

That is true.

Salary Cap wise, the rags have already mentioned that the cap will be more lax in January.

 

[BJJ]

He gives me Sonny Anderson vibes. 16 goals in 47 appearences. I hope he turns out alot better.

 

[JamDav1982]

Think he looks class but never know fully until step up.

His movement is relentless and clever while is scoring a wide variety of goals.

For 18 looks to have huge potential and the price a snip.

Interesting to see how translates to level up.

 

[Latschenkiefer]

Even in highlight videos he looks nothing special. Just muscular.
