[Albion] Vítor Oliveira (Vitinha)

[Hugo Rune]

Showreel shows a player who looks exactly like a 22 year old version of Trossard. Hope he is coming here and that he is more consistent than the Leandro.

De Zerbi would surely be happy with this meaning TB can stop hiding in the cupboard?

 

[The Fits]

Starting to think Tony is going all in for Europe. Fancy three big signings tomorrow.
We know he's a gambler. What if this is it? This is the moment TB goes 'we are having this'. Keeping Moises and signing two or three big players would be an absolutely massive statement of intent.

Blue and white specs, I know, but we must surely be a more attractive option at this current time. Southampton are odds-on for relegation as things stand.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Looks good to me. Seen reports on Twitter that Saints have given up on him now that we're involved and are now going for Onuachu from Genk, the giant guy who I seem to remember also being linked with us in the past.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Edit. Fixture. Beaten by the boss.

 

[The Grockle]

Look a like he would be an incredible signing but I can't see us parting with that kind of money so late in the window.

Looks to me like twitter chat to up his price before he goes to OM or elsewhere.

 

[Mackenzie]

Nice to talk about an incoming transfer

 

[Winker]

Looks like an upgrade on Trossard, not sure I could cope with all those goals though!

Portuguese paper now reporting our interest.

Southampton have already made it known that they intend to beat Vitinha's release clause, worth 30 million euros, but they are not the only ones preparing a millionaire investment for the striker. Brighton, also from the Premier League, entered the race for the Sp. Braga during today and, until any deal is concluded, he promises to fight for his services.

According to Record, Brighton is willing to advance with the value of the termination clause, but in phased payments. Anyway, so the Sp. Braga is available for this, this is a negotiable premise, not least because the English are under the pressure of the closing of the market to find an alternative for the attack, since Evan Ferguson was injured in the recent meeting with Liverpool, and there are still no big certainties about how your recovery will evolve.

It should be noted that Brighton has been following Vitinha since the start of the season, having sent an emissary to Braga to observe the player live, for example, in the reception to Benfica on December 30, a match in which, curiously, Vitinha ended up entering the pitch only in the final stretch of the meeting.

Up his price when he has a buyout clause?

Just spending the Trossard money (almost exactly) on a like-for-like replacement but a newer model (by 6 years). No biggie.

I dont know how it works with a buyout clause but surely if there's a number of clubs willing to meet it, there's nothing stopping another club coming in and offering more.

Not really, you'd expect him to choose us at this moment in time. I'm guessing he'd be first choice if young Fergie is out.

Let's hope so, I just can't see us pulling it off unfortunately

I don’t know if this helps or not:

Man United 'most interested' in Vitinha's £34m release clause

The 22-year-old already has Premier League experience having spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Wolves and he is now linked with an England return in his native Portugal.

[brightn'ove]

I confess it's a new name for me. Part of me thinks that he can't be all that if Southampton are the best club in for him previously. Is that being unfair?

Also, I've got so used to us picking up superstars for peanuts, I'm slightly disappointed to learn we'd be prepared to pay £26m for somebody

Marseilles are also in for him

Different player

Can you imagine a forward line of

Mitouma Connolly Vitinha Ferguson Welbeck Undav and March


No, neither can I really. A bit too top heavy I suppose?

I love how Connolly gets 2 goals in the FA cup and everyone think he's a Premier League quality striker.

Unless I'm being whooshed here, that's a different Vitinha
