Don't think any of the shoulder injuries around at the moment ,are as a result of playing golf🤣

He has a point, the repetitive movement could cause weaknesses and it's not great on the back. We'd never be able to stop the players playing golf though

And this as well. Hemir just didn't have a clue, call it attitude or what you want. I don't know what the pace or physicality was like in Portuguese youth and B teams but he had neither and I'm not sure how some still thought we should be changing our entire game to get regular crosses in for him just because he won a header or two in a pre season friendly against was it Seville? The games we saw in English football saw a complete lack of intensity, an inability to use his body and a lack of interest in doing any of it.

Then the next season in preseason he done a wonder strike and we heard allover again how he was 'talented'.

“Player in there” is the punchline I believe

Hemir was unrivalled in terms of lack of interest and shite attitude. He was also complete crap but that wouldn’t have mattered anyway as his whole demeanour was honking.

I remember Carlton Cole being the biggest and strongest in the u20s, un21s running through sides like a young R9.although he had a decent career it didn't translate to senior football the same way he still retained the physique.

In that video most of it is technical stuff against much smaller players. Quite tidy in playing possession, playing off the cuff and at times bringing others in with his back to goal, but it's very open stuff with very little pressure on him in a physical manner.

Looking at his record it didn't really translate into senior football at Benfica B, looked here as if he wanted to play a completely different style of football without having the tools to earn the right.

I thought it was American and South American teams we played against that year?

We came out of preseason thinking he was mustard as he was scoring goals and looked good.

When we started the league season we realised our preseason was against the American equivalent of the Dog and Duck.

I’m surprised given how potent he looked over there, that there haven’t been any American clubs sniffing around to see if they can get him at a bargain price.

1-1 draw against Mallorca he scored in and New Mexico. Barely played iirc- people getting carried away as we had a centre forward.
