Nelson Oliveira loaned to Cardiff

Got enough poachers with Campbell, Maynard and Mason.

Be a great coup for us and hopefully he will have a key influence in attack for us.

So if true, we've signed 2 big strikers this season? Hoofball it is then

Why does it mean that? The Prem needs physical presence up front, a big targetman will compliment the poacher

Agreed.

We lacked a physical presence last season.
We got the smaller Pacey strikers in Campbell, maynard, Bellamy

We need height upfront Gestede is not good enough. Cornelius and Oliveira will battle it out for the target man role while we have Campbell, Maynard and Mason battle it out for the striker role.

If this signing does happen then, it will be a signing that it could either be a bad signing or promising and a very good signing but Malky and his scouts have proved to to bring in good young talent, in Malky we trust

Yeah could be a signing that's a signing or not a signing that's a good signing.

Don't forget - it may only be a decent signing...

Basically Cardozo has to go as it states here..........

According to the French press, the Ligue 1 outfit would be tempted to have the Portugal international on loan next season.

However, Oliveira's future will not be decided until Cardozo's situation is handled by Benfica.

The striker pushed coach Jorge Jesus after the Portuguese Cup final, and the club wants to sell him. Although, as of now, no bid has matched president Luís Filipe Vieira's demands.

So, the youngster is on stand-by: if the Paraguayan leaves, Oliveira stays. Otherwise, he will probably be loaned.

“Our first thaught was to go on a loan abroad, but now the situation could be different,” told daily O Jogo Adélio Oliveira, Nélson's father.

“He will play the pre-season with Benfic, and then the club will decide what to do. Much of it could depend on Cardozo's future,” he added.

Linked with Benfica until 2018, the 21-year-old is also on the Spanish and English clubs' radars.

A product of As Águias academy, he has been loaned to Paços de Ferreira and Deportivo, where he made four goals in 31 matches.

Monaco's Ibrahima Touré is one of the other names on Rennes' list.

And in this article.

Fingers crossed.

Actually that last post doesn't make a lot of sense. If get him we get him, I'm going to sleep it off I think. I hope there is something definitive soon.

errr, he's changed his mind and is now going to stoke.

This is a sticky that claims Oliveira has been LOANED to Cardiff city, yet he hasn't. Am I missing something?

For some reason, I always thought you was a moderator on this site.

In England now, he's waiting for Stoke and Benfica to agree the deal

Looks as though we have been pipped to this one as well! Any signings made now won't be targets but will be pure desperation.

I'd prefer us to go with what we got, than to go down the road of desperation signings. At least we know the squad we already got will go down fighting

@_GoncaloLopes: Nélson Oliveira already in England, waiting for the total agreement between Benfica and #Stoke City

You mean you lost your magic!

Who stickied this?

You made it easier for Mark Hughes to find the thread. He's a shit manager and couldn't put together a squad without our help.

Can't be true mate, it says he HAS BEEN LOANED to us already!

Stoke move to snatch Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira from Cardiff's grasp

Mark Hughes has spotted a golden chance to grab the lad on a season-loan by outbidding Bluebirds

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has made a last-gasp move to snatch Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira from under Cardiff’s noses.

Oliveira, 21, is being loaned out for a season to help his progression and Cardiff boss Malky Mackay was hopeful of getting the hot prospect.

But Stoke have come in and offered better terms for the one-year loan deal – and a fee of £860,000 – with Hughes keen to bring in more firepower to his forward line.

Stoke are hoping to seal the deal on Monday but there is no option to make it a permanent transfer as Benfica believe he will be a success with them in the long term.

Someone please tell me that Stoke (Stoke FFS!) have not beaten us to signing Oliveira. Spurs I could have taken but Stoke arrrrggghh.
Time to crack open another Bow and kick the dog.

I'm not gutted if we miss out on this lad. I'd welcome him if he joined but, by no means gutted.

That's another player not joining us then...

Also, who says he really is a target? No quotes from anyone related to CCFC, could all be media bullshit.
