I was fully on the "thanks for everything, have a free transfer" train for Raul and Adama but fuck me I'd have them back in a heartbeat even now, they'd walk into the eleven and be our two best attacking players
Since Nuno we've had loads of players who were/are playing way under their potential, including Raul and Adama, and who have since moved on and their form has improved no end.
I know it's unlikely, but if RE can get just Andre, Agbadou, JSL and Gomes back to near their best we have a chance.
I wouldn't say that Adama has looked much better since leaving us, but he is certainly someone who would open up games in ways that we simply aren't able to right now.
Lots of us weren't massively impressed with Podence, but today's version would absolutely walk into this team. Then when you think of Vitinha who couldn't even get a game as he was definitely behind Neves and Moutinho at that point in his development.
