  1. As a top team in a small league Sporting will I imagine dominate games; we don't we more often that not counter attack. We will have different demands of a player.

    You say that but even players going for £50m generally look a but miserable and bored with it all.

    I had no idea who this guy was til the other day and I haven't even bothered watching the highlight video.

    But I'd still take him over Gibbs.

    I suspect this will be our 'surprisingly good' signing of the summer. See Ben Watson, Okaka, Chalobah (first time round). He actually looks really good in what are pretty extended clips and the fact Ajax and Sevilla wanted him suggests he's no dud.

    Since I had no clue who this guy is I asked a Portuguese football expert that I know about him, he said the following:

    Me: Since you know Portuguese football better than anyone I know..what are your views on Zeegelaar?

    Him: Not great. Could be decent as something like a winger that supports the full back well but he simply put isn't good enough to be a LB. Physically solid, you'll find that he is incredibly inconsistent technically. Like he'll have the odd awesome match, and then be awful. He kinda did his best and had a handful of solid matches. That said it seemed that he was always in over his head...

    I've read and re-read the comments on this thread and concluded that this is a dud Signing,


    Just to confirm, this is a DUD.

    Sounds like a Portuguese Lloyd Doyley. For that reason...you know the rest.

    Holebas as first choice, this guy as back up, at least until January, more likely until next season, but you can bet your ar5es, that the scouts will be looking for 2 top replacements even now. Same goes for the CB's

    Silva obviously rates him as he tried to sign him for Hull too.

    Thats good enough for me.

    A fair point. But it’s also a cautionary tale given the way Hull were run last season - they were so short on numbers I’m pretty sure it was a case of throw as much mud as possible and see how much sticks! They weren’t fishing from a large pond and took pretty much whatever they could get!

    You are absolutely clueless. 3M is peanuts for Sporting, they have a 100M budget. Adrien Silva that has his transfer pending to Leicester, was sold for 25/30M euros(not official values yet).
    And while the Portuguese league is clearly worse, the big 3 are better than most premier league teams. Look at the players Sporting,Porto and Benfica have in their ranks.
    And Zeegelaar wasnt the best LB in the league ROFL, he was Sporting's 4th best LB(considering our options this season) and i can count atleast 4 more that are clearly better in the portuguese league.

    Well ive been 100% honest so far, like my opinion or not. Not a troll at all, and you can find my username in Sporting's forum.
    Schelotto works hard, runs alot and like marvin is physically strong. His technical ability is subpar(worse than marvin), but he defends a bit better. He also fell off with some supporters due to come off-court rumors.

    He alongside Marvin were the most critized players in our team, and were the 2 weakest links of our starting 11(marvin got benched some times). But like marvin i can see him working out in the PL due to their physical game and style fit.

    I no nothing about this player. If he is better than Holebas the money is a bargain. If he is a better than Mason as a back up to Holebas the money is good value in an age when Championship Derby paid £4 million for Anya. In the context of our TV revenues the money is not critical if he is useless. Clearly he was not a first choice on the recruitment. I will wait and see what he contributes to the team (pity about the league cup exit, an opportunity to play squad players in a competitive match), but the financial risk is negligible

    About time you bit. Thank you. My bait has been in the water for ages. Was beginning to think you weren't coming and I had wasted my time posting that. Now I can hang you on my wall. Thank you.

    On a serious note. The top 3 Portuguese teams are not better than most Prem teams. As a fan I get your bias but over 38 games in the Prem against the likes Stoke, West Brom etc on a rainy Tuesday night your teams would struggle. Add to that the top 6 plus Everton, Leicester and possibly Southampton on their day you would struggle against those teams. Then you have plucky sides like Burnley and Bournemouth that you should beat but for some reason you don't. On top of all that the physicality of the Prem and speed is existent in almost every game, something your top 3 teams aren't use too. Your top 3 teams would be exhausted after half a season. Then you also have the refs that allow way more contact. So as much as your top 3 are good in the Portuguese league, in the Prem, they would finish between 9th-17th. Porto aren't the force they use to be, Benfica come and go and Sporting haven't won the league in 16 years and reach their last European final 12 years ago. Sporting haven't been a force in years.

    Just to be clear - there are 20 teams in PL - so most is 11 or more - are you seriously saying that there are 11 teams in PL better than Benfica / Sporting / Porto - really? - City/Chelsea maybe Liverpool Arsenal United - not in my view but Everton / Spurs / Leicester / Southampton / West Brom / Stoke? - you must live in the bubble - suggest you watch the 3 of them a bit more - streets no miles better than us / burnley / Newcastle etc - miles and miles

    Yes well done. You managed to trick someone who speaks English as a foreign language into thinking you were serious, great work! That'll teach him to come on here giving his view of a player we've just signed and most of us have probably never heard of. Top work buddy!

    Oh shut up you soppy bell-end. I didn't like the comment based on the first paragraph, I liked it because I agreed with the fact that he said Sporting, Porto and Benfica would struggle in the Prem because it is a completely different style of league... Just like a team such as Everton would also struggle in the Portuguese league because they'd have to face 15 teams (excluding top 3) parking the bus non-stop home and away.

    It seems you've got a problem with someone agreeing to someone else's opinion which isn't yours? Grow up

    Welcome to the board and thanks for your input, always good to have the views and opinions of others fans.

    You sound legit, unfortunately some of our more 'persistent' members keep making new accounts pretending to be new posters - we're not sure why but it ends up ruining it for those new members that are genuine (like yourself) and offer a view/opinion that isn't taken from Youtube, a fake twitter account or Football Manager.

    Hope you have a good season!

    The fact that this guy is a troll and speaks English perfectly tells me a different story. Sad that you fell for it. Anyway thank you for your support.

    I genuinely can’t tell if the account is a troll or not. But are you suggesting that people from a different country aren’t capable of picking up a new language to a high standard?
