He's not a Spurs supporter, is he‘We had a really bad time because in the end everyone knows that I was close to signing, but it’s true that if it didn’t happen, it was for a reason, because God didn’t want it'.
God told him NOT to join Chelsea.
A 20 year old big st who can score and very good at hold up will cost you 100m at leastHonestly watching the guy he doesn’t look very impressive visually, can’t pass a ball, bad first touch and hold up play non existent but he does score goals. If he works on one of those things he wilL be top class for sure.
hold up is more than just being strong against a CB. This guy plays like he's wearing Timberland boots with his first touch. Couldn't trap a ball to save his life.A 20 year old big st who can score and very good at hold up will cost you 100m at least
Might outscore Gyokeres.Just got a first half hat trick for Porto, 11 goals in 9 games so far this season.
Drogba was the same way when he first joined us. I remember him scoring against arsenal by miss controlling the ball. He is 20 years and has a lot of upside.hold up is more than just being strong against a CB. This guy plays like he's wearing Timberland boots with his first touch.

And it still holds true this season.Provides us a different outlet & plan B. That's the only positive thing I can say about this transfer at the moment. Far too many times last season we needed that focal point.
Looked a good player from highlights. But we'd never know, probably sick and tired playing second fiddle to Jackson, and go on loan in January. I'm sure we have seen that beforeNever really saw him in Spain but from his performance so far at Porto I’m pretty gutted we didn’t sign him in the end.
The question is did he learn and improve from good coaching and would he have got the same here or would he still be a totem pole?Samu has done really well in a mediocre FC Porto side. He's lost weight, looks really quick and sharp, and the biggest improvement is his overall energy and movement. He is no longer just a totem pole in the box but he's running off the ball from deep, and he's been lethal in the air because of it. He is getting good at occupying the CB then drifting into the pocket at the back post against the FB, which in Portugal makes for a total size mismatch.
The biggest thing I like about him is that he shoots with real power. None of this placement bullsh*t or trying to pass the ball in, just pure old-school power.
He looks a really good signing that we missed out on, a very different player to Jackson, but he is still very raw and needs both coaching and play time to reach his potential.
