Earlier today, we wrote a piece about the big Sunday that Carlos Miguel had in Brazil, with Nottingham Forest on the verge of signing him.
The goalkeeper made a late save that avoided a loss for Corinthians, and that’s now getting big praise in the local media.
Nottingham Forest fans will surely be glad to hear what pundit Benjamin Back has to say. Quoted by Torcedores, the journalist claims Carlos Miguel will soon be number one for the national team.
“Congratulations to everyone involved who let Carlos Miguel go for a pittance. I have absolutely no doubt that he will be the goalkeeper for the Brazilian national team in the short term. The guy is a monster and they let him go for a pittance. Congratulations to those involved,” said Back.
Nottingham Forest are expected to trigger Carlos Miguel’s release clause at any time now, with some reports saying that would be done today. When Back talks about the bargain this signing is, that’s because the clause stands at just €4m.
There’s still some uncertainty about when the player will have his farewell match for Corinthians. That may have happened yesterday, but it’s the clubs who shall decide that. Even though the fans weren’t very happy with his decision to leave, the fact he’s having good performances is helping him to make the mood a bit calmer.
