That's a good combo if taraabt can replicate his form like you said. With them and Simeone Jr that's a pretty great attacking trio.

Wait, Simeone Jr is good? Sons are never good

It's a bit early to tell but he's been pretty solid, 6 goals in 15 games.

He's got two sons, they both played for the Milan youth teams. Christian never managed to break through and now plays in Malta, Daniel is still in the Milan youth system I think.

One of these days, two clubs will sign a player named Steve on the same day and #WelcomeSteve will be used for both players. What a time to be alive.

United didn't want to meet the release clause which is pretty high and I think it was a knee jerk to the bad start of the season. Last reputable article I read suggested they had told Benfica they were no longer interested

It might have been a baseless rumor but I seem to remember he signed a new deal after United became interested, which increased his release clause. Loyal, but not the wisest move. United's cooling off might be real or might be a bargaining tactic.

Possibly but they need him less than they did 3 months ago anyway. Only Bailly is missing from the squad and everyone else seems to be performing okay.

I've heard from the Saints people down here that he wants to go somewhere to win the league off the back of the Euros. Whether that's in the PL or abroad I don't know.

Didn't play for us once. Think he made the bench like once or twice in his whole time here.
