Joao Teixeira (Sporting Lisbon)

watched th.is kid on both legs and he has great balance and good gravity. would like himto come but how many youth players do we need. if he is only 1m then yeh lets get him. think we have other areas to improve in the  first team

Wouldn't mind his team mate Maderos or whatever. He looked amazingly good against us.

But during the NextGen match, we all said we wouldn't mind some of their lads here. This satisfies that. Can't wait to see this kid play.

Might be sticking my neck out there, but he does remind me of Stevie.

It's true I've not seen this lad play but....

I trust Sean's opinion..... he won't cut it.

 I'm sure he would have made all the difference today 

Dont F***ing laugh, who knows.. Certainly not you with that attitude im sure..


Sorry all but F***ing hell.... 

We are linked with too many youth players for my liking. Why if tey are not going to be given a chance?
TBH I reckon Adam Morgan would score more than Carroll if he was given the same gametime. Good enough = old enough

Omg are you serious,Adam Morgan cant even score for the under 18's at the min,shocking touch and always running round like a headless chicken,nowhere near the class for the 1st team... Granted Andy's not playing well but look at the team in general,shocking somes it up,no service wot so ever,stevie's the only player who can put a decent cross in,downing,adam hendo,dirk,craig,maxi,they all cant cross,we need 2 wingers who can cross a ball to get the best out of andy but Kenny only wants to buy mid table english talent,70/80m on complete rubbish,if any other manager had bought these players we'd be calling for thet're heads..

Watched this kid in both games against us in the next gen,he looks quiet a talent,well above any of the young 1 on our team with the exception of sterling,well worth a punt at 1m

calm down mate.

Why should he calm down Del Boca Vista?
What's wrong with showing a positive outlook regarding a potential youth signing?
If the guy watches the NextGen then he's well within his right to be impressed by the kid Carlos.

Edit:
Just read the post about Kenny wasting money etc...

Carry on.

Have we actually signed this lad?  I've been away on holiday and haven't been fully involved with all the transfer rumors/info....

I was wondering that myself, I didn't see anything about it being official.  I don't know.

I still haven't seen anything I see as "Official" but Kenny did say last week, there might be something to it.

I hope it is true, for 1M I think it is a great buy.

We have signed Joao Carlos Teixeira (Sporting one)

Great news, high hopes for this lad in the future.

Sod the future ,I hope he has enough potential to go right into the squad and do a good job for us right away.

Think he will more than likely go into the reserves, he's only a kid there's no need to put so much pressure on his shoulders by throwing him at the deep end immediately. Potential is level of ability in the future not right away.

 Flanagan and Robinson were only kids this time last year and they never let us down.I am of the opinion(rightly or wrongly) if a player is good enough he is old enough.I hope this lad turns out to be a success.

Andrew Heaton who went over to cover their Next Gen game against Inter yesterday said on twitter that he spoke to a Sporting director and he said Teixeira has already had a medical and is a Liverpool player.

He didn't play in the NextGen game either.
Sporting got knocked out by Inter.
Looks like we bought the right player.

I personally don't know anything about this young lad, but let's hope he turns out to be good.

can't really pass any kind of judgement for the price apparently paid until we see him in action.
