Gil Vicente F.C.

Well, just judging purely on goals alone, I mean, I'm just looking at his career.

So, Gil Vicente in Portugal, he scored quite a good number of goals.

And then Atletico Madrid, his goals went down.

But then at Flamengo, his goals have gone back up.

I'll give him a second.

while I think about what I'm going to predict for Benfica-Gil Vicente.

He's got a 2-2 draw for Oroka and

Santa Clara.

Benfica-Gil Vicente Sunday.

I'll

go 2-0 Benfica.

And then Sean Neve straight loan from Newcastle on deadline day.

And Ghislaine Conan, a left back who was recently with Gil Vicente under under Cesar Pichotto coming in for free.

He was a free agent at the time, and that was announced the day after deadline day.

A little addendum there that obviously we've all heard news of Bertrand Troy potentially being brought in as a free.

He has no experience in the English game.

His stock is pretty high in Portugal based on what he was able to do with Gil Vicente last year.

What I like and what I'm warming to at the moment, but like you mentioned, it's really, really early days.

What he's coming in to do, firstly, he's coming to a team with really low confidence, low momentum and self-belief, which is a massive task in itself to try and get rid of that rustiness.

sitting there in the third place tied with six points.

Remember, Gil Vicente has played one last match.

Same thing with Benfica, who has four points.

Nacional also has four points.

Um, I think the general dissatisfaction with the transfers comes on the back of the summer of 2025 when, as you say, they were getting these exotic, with a very small E, kind of, um, kind of, uh, overseas players.

Uh, and just to look at the number 10 situation, they got Kanya Fujimoto in from, uh, Gil Vicente in Portugal, uh, and Marvin Ducksch from the Bundesliga, and neither of them have really be- been the answer.

So they're, they're still looking for, for that number 10.

Um, so yeah, bearing in mind the backdrop of this is the director of football, Craig Gardner, has gone as well.

We've definitely got some good players.

Um, Gil Vicente I'm a big fan of.

Tomia Wapa's good.

Um, but, um, yeah, I think there's a lot of quest- Kristoff Clark I do think actually, you know, certainly if you play him on the right, he's one of the best defenders in the league.

And then another Portuguese newspaper.

i didn't ignore it only because when nudo had left about six months before we were linked to bruno large uh within the portuguese press um and i remember at the time i was like why are you reporting why are you even talking about this rubbish and six months later nuna left and bruno large was the new manager so i thought okay and then about six hours later fabrizio romano posted that there's a full agreement and rob edwards is gone and then the following morning it was announced rob edwards was sacked so it just really quickly happened within 12 to 24 hours but bizarrely apparently rob edwards had no idea he was found out he found out by social media that this guy was getting the job so i think walls handled it badly but also i think nobody at walls knew other than probably george mendez who's behind the move and obviously the owner of of wolves as well and poshato's coming and he's like you said his cvs Not the most attractive, but he had a really decent year last year with Gil Vicente in Portugal.

One of those teams that are probably expected to be down towards the bottom end of the table.

And they really competed towards the top four, top five for most of the season.
