Renato Sanches is a sensational absence for Portugal in the 2018 World Cup, failing to find a place even among the Euro 2016 winner's preliminary 35-man squad announced on Monday.

ufffff

Komm hier rein Hans

I mean, it's really not all that sensational. But damn, how bad a player do you have to be to not make it in when scrubs likes Gomes and Joao Mario did

He's 33 years old brah

The dude can't pass straight without pressure. Don't want him anywhere near the club.

the kid has lots of raw talent. and bringing out raw talent in young players is what klopp does best. no way on earth would bayern have signed this kid if he was as bad as people think. to many people rate players on current form alone.

He actually never showed any great raw talent. Easily the fraud of the decade.

Banter? Idk how am I supposed to know? People make mistakes. Bayern bought trash before.

He's good at nothing and bad at everything.

i disagree

To bring out raw talent you need to show some, Failing at Bayern is acceptable and understandable. Failing at Swansea City and that too miserably is unforgivable.

Because they were fooled by a few performances at an international tournament.

Happens all the time, same reason why Spurs spent 30m on Sissoko.

Wrong.
We bought him before the Euros.

If anything, we were fooled by a couple of CL appearances against us :coffee:

Kid will come good somewhere, you just wait and see.

by Mr Nick09 Tue May 15, 2018 1:39 pm

The theory that he faked his age holds even truer now. He played a youth tourney being like 26, of course he dominated. I don't even know why it's controversial, age trafficking is a widely held practice for African based players, it's actually staggering how common that is. The moment you hear suspicions then it's enough to know there is foul play

Bayern signing a 26 to thinking he is 19 lmao. They shipped him out pretty quickly didnt they Laughing

by Hapless_Hans Tue May 15, 2018 1:44 pm

One look at him and you can see he's a kid.
This theory has always struck me as especially dumb, even as dumb net theories go.

Also, "African based player" lmao. Kid is from Lisboa you racist.

by Firenze Tue May 15, 2018 1:46 pm

I feel like you were joking but it's a bit different from some lad being scouted on a dirt field in Cameroon. He was born and raised in Portugal ffs.

by rincon Tue May 15, 2018 1:46 pm

Sanches looks like a kid and is from lisboa. That theory is 100% just based on racism.

by Firenze Tue May 15, 2018 1:46 pm

woah woah woah

hold the phone

wtf is this

he grew up in the impoverished Lisbon neighbourhood of Musgueira.[4] His parents split up months after his birth, and his father moved to work in France; Sanches' birth was not registered until his father returned in 2002 and the parents had him baptised.[5][6] He was registered on 22 August 2002 with the birthdate of 3:25 p.m. on 18 August 1997

need a Fifa enquiry ASAP

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue May 15, 2018 1:47 pm

I don't criticise because he's a bum, i criticise because as usual people got excited WAYYYY too early.

Just because a kid comes on as a sub and dribbles past a few players doesn't mean he's going to be a world beater.

I said this in his first game in the Euros so it's not hindsight or anything but everyone was losing their damn minds like he was going to be the next best thing or something.

by Firenze Tue May 15, 2018 1:48 pm

Genuinely curious who the fraud that will be bought for an inflated fee from performances this tournament will turn out to be tbh

just pray it's not us doing the signing ffs, thinking about it, no wonder Mole was hoping Lascelles goes, they profited from the last international tournament the most

by zigra Tue May 15, 2018 1:55 pm

Stupid discussion, his age doesn't even matter.
Young age doesn't make you a talent. He's simply a 20 year old scrub.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue May 15, 2018 1:57 pm

Nah i don't want Lascelles to be sold, first time we've had aerial presence and leadership in forever.

Just being honest, there hasn't been a better english CB this season.

Only Burnley have conceded less than us outside the top 5 and when he was injured we were conceding 3+ goals every game, if he played for anyone else he'd get unreal hype.
