Rafael Leao

Saw Leao about 5 years ago at AC Milan and thought 'wow what a player!'
Have only seen him since playing for Portugal during Euros and world cups and he has moments of brilliance but very few and far between. Has an abundance of natural ability but just not sure if he has the application.

Has he liked anyones post?

IMO at 27 a player is who he is, and the potential to improve is minimal.

Sure there are examples where a player has improved but these are the exception and not the rule. At AC Milan he has played under some excellent coaches and if they haven’t managed to make him more consistent then I see little reason why it would change with us.

But saying that, he would be fun to watch for those moments of dazzling brilliance.

You really think we'd spend £50m+ on Leao just to do Mendes a favour? Some of your conspiracy theories are wild!

That's how Mendes works (see the decline and fall of Wolves for evidence). It was potentially all part of the deal that got us Fernandes.

Its ok if you can manipulate it in your favour. We aint asking him to be chairman
