Rumour - Frederico Venâncio

by WoodleyRoyal » 08 May 2017 16:44

Championship trio Leeds United, Reading and Derby County are all reportedly chasing Vitória Setubal captain Frederico Venâncio, according to the print edition of The Sun (8 May, Goals pullout, page 15).

The Liga NOS’ side’s captain is understood to have turned down a move to Greek champions Olympiakos, in the hope of securing a move to England in the summer.

The 24-year old has made over 120 appearances for the Portuguese outfit, and according to The Sun, has attracted the likes of Leeds, Derby and Reading after putting in some strong performances this term.

With Derby in the hunt for a centre back, Kyle Bartley’s loan expiring at Elland Road, and Reece Oxford set to also depart the Madejski Stadium at the end of his loan spell, Venâncio would be a key asset to all three teams.

Reading may lead the chase to land the highly-rated defender, with Premier League football on the cards for next season, as face Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi finals.

Not sure replacing Oxford is that big a priority is it ?
Although always good to upgrade the defence..

Federici can't just change his name to try and sneak back into the club.

This rumour has come around again but even stronger this time. Sounds like it might happen.

Any particular sources?

Don't think defence is the priority really but if he is decent then obviously be happy to have him

Need more central defenders I guess if we regularly go 5 at the back. McShane may end up being a squad player, he seems to have got a bit injury prone - Blackett played more than him last season, didn't he?

So atm, unless I've forgotten somebody, we've got Moore, Ilori, McShane and Blackett as first team players covering up to three slots. And Keown and Dickie as backup. I think that's a little light.

Fair enough if we play 5 at the back. I think we'll go 4 though

Blackett played nearly every game I think - def played more than McShane

I think next season Stam will mix and match depending on the opposition, and the importance of the game etc, so I'm not ruling out 4 at the back, just I don't think we'll only play that way.
In any case, if we go 4 at the back, we need more full-back cover! Blackett is a bit suspect at left-back. Not so worried about the other side, but I'm hoping to see a bit more of Watson this season, must be frustrating for him having an indestructible Duracell bunny in front of him. I wonder what's he's like as a wing-back?

Either way, I guess I'm saying, defence may not be as much as a priority as much as midfield or attack, but, there's work there that needs doing, and if there are players available at the right price, we should go for them.

Stam is looking to go 6 at the back plus the keeper next season apparently. Says it will provide the firm base on which to make Reading more dangerous going forward.

I could believe that actually if he considers defensive midfielders as part of that. He said when he joined he was a bigger fan of 4-3-3 so perhaps he's creating something more similar to that than the 3-5-2/5-3-2 we saw at the end of the season.

That or you were joking and I took your comment way too seriously.
