He'd slot right in to this team

I'm not massively wowed by him, and even less so if he's throwing massive paddies.

Pashun ay it

12 goals in 30 appearances last season. Seems pretty decent to me.

Cameron Jerome scored more, I wouldn't want him either...

No thank you, the last thing we need is Roger Johnson mk.II destroying us from the inside.

 

[Deano]

Oliveira is class, he'd suit us perfectly.

You would have thought if Nuno fancied him he would have been signed by now, he must have passed on that option.

 

[Siggy]

He will bring alot more than just goals and suits the way we play. It's a huge yes from me.

How does he bring a lot more than goals? On their forum, norwich fans say he got no assists at all last season, and that Cameron Jerome brings goals and assists - and that the biggest thing Olivera brings is pot shots from long distance, at the expense of linking up play.

Interested to hear what you think it is he brings apart from goals?

Looks like Andre Gray is going to Watford, so that's one we can cross off the list. Still think Gallagher is the one they really want

I think Fosun want something better than a promising loanee

The rumour was that we were going to buy him for £8M.

 

[Wolvensam]

I don't know much about Gallagher: is he really that good?

Not £8M good, no. From what I've seen of him he'd fit well into our system though.

Gotta pay that extra premium for a young English player, though.

Given the current inflated fees around, 8m isnt too bad

 

[Kenny]

£8m is the new £1.5m

 

[Rui_CostCo]

The Kyle Walker fee has totally skewed the market

Assists is a pretty shit statistic unless it's being applied to wingers/wing backs or set piece takers. If Leo brings it down from a direct ball lays it off to a WB who puts it on a plate for Costa/Cav/Jota, then he gets no credit yet he was the most important part of the move.

He's not playing the Andy Carrol/Crouch/Heskey/Kevin Davies role of nodding down deep hoofs from full backs or stood up crosses from wingers, where only they can get it, to nod back it back to Kevin Nolan etc.

Oliviera has got decent presence and good first touch, plus decent ability finding space and striking it cleanly. I'd take him if we knew he isn't always a bit of a knob like he has been to Farke.
