No, not that one..

Reading are looking to bring Sporting Lisbon's striker on a loan, with option to buy.

He has scored 15 goals in 20 games for their U-23s and has played 6 times for the first team, including 4 in the Europa League.

[Stranded]

Know nothing about him but looks like he scored against PSV in the Europa League.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Know nothing about him. Wouldn't read into any U23 scoring record too much, but a young player on the fringes of a side like Sporting is probably quite a good player for a club like us.

Is the hair a major stumbling block for you? I find it hard to trust anyone with hair like that.

half your Leeds team seem to sport them, so thought you'd be all for it

I wouldn't say its a major stumbling block, but its not something I'd encourage either.

The imperious Luke Ayling has one, he has proven he can be trusted though.

Stranded does (Germany IIRC), I however took a bit of poetic license as I saw the goal on Twitter earlier.

[WoodleyRoyal]

well the last two players who played for sporting and for us were a success..

Ah yeah sorry, didn't think that video would be geolocked.

Tbf to Carriço, he did go on and win the Europa League with Sevilla. harsh to judge him on 3 performances for us.

I also didn't think Illori was that bad for us. Certainly seen worse defenders.

Carrico was an odd one, against Liverpool in the 0-0 draw, he was superb but he was very rarely seen again after that, if not at all

Ilori was an abomination of a defender, simply wasn't a Championship player, suits the foreign leagues more IMO, not sure how he's done since he's gone though

He was a perfectly adequate championship defender. Who we made our money back on
