Sounds like an "us" signing TBH

 

[CHAPPERS]

Does he offer some protection for the back four?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Wouldn't need to change the Caicedo song either...

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Pah, Johnnys were a lot cheaper in my day

Does he offer some protection for the back four?

Apparently, he wears some strange headgear during games.

Depends when he gets used. You really need him on from the start to get the best of him. Chucking him on in the dying minutes could be too little too late...

I’ll wait for Tim Vickery’s input on this one. The guy seems to never be wrong.

God I hope it's real and he signs for us. This is a comedy goldmine.

8 million euros sounds a bit cheap?

Four caps (first one in 2020). I'm also going to wait for Tim Vickery.

I can't condome comments like this.

YES PLEASE Barbs. Get that conveyor belt filled up again, pronto.

Proper Championship Manager vibes off this one.

 

[Mellotron]

Which other Brazilians have we had...?

His name does indeed feel like a non-descript Venezuelan 19 year old regen that does not quite cut it in the end.

Caicedo replacement I would think. Defensive midfielder, physical, and looks like he scores with his head.
At 21 seems like our type of player.
