Pereira: Catamo and Quenda papered over Sporting’s issues | OneFootball

In a comment to A Bola channel, the deputy director of the newspaper, Alexandre Pereira, addressed the current situation of Sporting regarding the signing of wingers. The journalist highlighted the fact that Geny Catamo and Geovany Quenda masked this need and also pointed out his lack of understanding regarding the rumor about Alisson Santos being loaned out.

“It was a pressing issue that was clear Sporting needed to resolve, although when Catamo and Quenda were playing, at a certain point it disguised the lack of wide play, some depth on the wings, but it was clear that Sporting needed wingers,” he said.

With the signing of Luis Guilherme and the uncertainty surrounding Faye’s arrival, the journalist highlighted Sporting’s probable withdrawal regarding Yeremay: “They brought in Luis Guilherme and Faye will come too, I don’t know if this means that Yeremay is ‘off the table’ or if he’s still a strong desire for Sporting for next season, but maybe not, especially since there’s already talk of possibly loaning Alisson, who has been a recurring bet by Rui Borges.”

Further elaborating on the young Brazilian winger, Alexandre Pereira said: “It surprises me that all of a sudden there’s talk of loaning Alisson, when he’s had opportunities and minutes for Sporting and has even contributed positively to the team […] maybe the idea is for him to play in the Primeira Liga and get more playing time, maybe that’s the idea.”

“Also, nothing tells us that Faye and Luis Guilherme will come here and immediately stand out, so I don’t know, I find it a bit strange to hear talk about loaning Alisson. Given this, and with a player already being loaned out, perhaps Yeremay will be left for another time,” he concluded.
