Saw us linked to Anderson talisca earlier in the week and then he scored a couple on Thursday night. Any idea if he is actually on our radar? Also what type of player is he as I've never actually got the chance to watch him closely.
Cheers

{Ed002's Note - There is Manchester United interest in Benfica's Anderson Talisca was subject to the interest of Chelsea when Mourinho was manager but others there were not supportive of his view - but he will remain keen on the player. Around the same time in late 2014, Zenit St Pete, Arsenal and Liverpool showed some interest. Wolves very nearly signed him last summer before an eventual loan to Besiktas. Benfica will be more than happy to off load him and are hoping Besiktas take up the option of buying him or take the optional second year if no one else will look to buy him. Besiktas I understand see him as too expensive.}

Ed,
What is the reason for Benfica not wanting him? Seems odd. Does he have a poor attitude or do they need the money?
{Ed002's Note - They need the money and don't see him as good enough.}

Interesting, if he isn't good enough for Benfica he isn't good enough for us.
