Eder supposedly close to signing?

Know we've been linked a couple of times. Would be a decent signing.

 

Anyone seen him play? Strengths etc?

 

Video showing him scoring from a low cross against Italy on the Daily Fail website.

Was it a diving eder?

 

Wikipedia page showing him as"playing for swansea city"

 

That's interesting because on Franck Tabanou's wikipedia page the same thing happened before it was announced officially that he was a Swansea player.

 

Wales Online just showing that we have agreed a fee of 7,000,000 Euros and he has signed a three year deal.

 

Not excited by this yet, hoped one of the other rumoured signings would happen.

 

Agree Rhod. I haven't heard of him.

 

Who had heard of Bony before he came here? As for Wiki anyone can edit that and literally put anything on it, I won't believe this until the club announce it.

 

I also hadn't heard of Gylfi etc before they came here either

I trust Monks judgement though

 

Looks like a natural goal poacher there. Exactly the type we need

 

Michu was a complete unknown,yet he didn't turn out too badly.

 

good signing if it happens, i read he had a goal equivalent to every other game... the same as Michu in his first season..

 

Dai not quite as goal scoring record as you think. not that impressive at all. in total 213 appearances and 56 goals. 1 in 4.

 

About the only thing he has in common with Michu is that in his first season with Braga he scored 13 in 18 appearances (impressive) but in his second season only 3 in 13 less impressive. Sound familiar!! That said I trust the board and Monk they have obviously seen something in him...

 

The board and Monk are paid big bucks to make such important decisions. Hopefully,he will turn out to be the new Jason Scotland.
