Yeah, he was only as good as Glenn Hoddle. Get rid.
Joao clearly paid for sins committed in a past life at Forest

In an uncharacteristic show of bad temper, he got a yellow card for obstructing a foul kick, then continued to do so, while talking to the ref. Bouchalakis (as captain) had to run and push him away, quite visibly, since the ref was about to show Carvalho a second yellow.
The manager got angry and subbed him two minutes before half-time and Carvalho left the field mumbling and without greeting the manager.
Odd.
It's not a side of the game we ever saw from him at forest, hope he proves himself over there.

He got a assist for the winning goal, a corner. Doing well getting a run of games, hopefully he can push on and fulfill his potential. Think we can liken him to some of the youngster we have sold for millions and not done much, they need time and patience to develop. Compare that with worral, Yates, cash, Osborne who were given that rather then burke, appiah, Diaz has come good this season though.
Ah, he's going to be a dad, too.
Glad he is doing well, not really surprised though
Yes but sometimes its about the place as much as the player. Although there will be a barrage of people saying different, I don't think he was cut out for Championship football. Sure he had "moments" but that's what they were and that's not good enough in a league like this.
It's not so much that he was not "good enough" for the Championship, it's more that he was ill-adapted to the needs of the Championship. We can afford to have a player who's not running up and down for 90 minutes, who's not physical in all his challenges, who's not able to run quickly with the ball at his feet, who does not create chances for himself, by himself, because what we're looking for in a no. 10 is some key passes, a few moments of brilliance that cut through a well-drilled defence.
Our no. 10 over the last few years, Kostas Fortounis, is pretty much the same. He is not excellent throughout the match; in fact, he is usually annoyingly absent for most of the match; and yet, three or four moves and passes of his usually make the difference between a draw and a win.
Fortounis, incidentally, is the main problem for Carvalho's future over here, because he's just come back from a very long injury (he missed almost the entire season). Carvalho's doing OK, but Fortounis is a better player overall. There's room for both of them in the team, but one of them will have to settle for the bencher's role.

Fair play to him for even thinking about us let alone tweeting it. The guys career completely stalled here and I wouldn't have held it against him if he hated this club.
