[Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

[Thunder Bolt]

Have we ever had a player with Portuguese as their first language?

Yes, we had João Carlos Teixeira, on loan for a season.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Oh god, it’s that Fabrizio fella, can’t stand the tw@t….

not that enamoured about this…

It’s all good. The rules are that if he’s behind a transfer from another club TO the Albion then he’s a top bloke.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Yes, we had João Carlos Teixeira, on loan for a season.

There’s someone I had completely forgotten about

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

He’s supposedly on £140k a week basic and was signed for £64 million
Just a bit out of our fee and wage structure I would think

We tried to sign Nunez when he ended up joining Benfica. Would have still commanded a £30 million fee and we seemed willing to bid somewhere near that. He chose Benfica over us as we had finished just outside the relegation zone and they obviously had CL football.

Now with two top 10 finishes in a row on the cards we suddenly become a serious option for someone like Nunez or Pedro at that stage of their career as we can offer top end PL football, add in other factors like the football we play and RDZ as coach and we are now a very attractive option.

 

[Whitechapel]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but he counts as Homegrown which is obviously a nice bonus.

This is interesting.

Rumours were that we matched the €34m Benfica payed (source Transfermarkt) but he picked them for the reasons you’ve outlined.

That means if the right player comes along…….

I’m convinced Mac is off. It’s actually no ‘biggie’ if TB shells out half his transfer fee on this Brazilian.

 

[chaileyjem]

Not when we tried to sign him, he wasn’t

Exactly. We’d agreed a fee.

 

[chaileyjem]

Fab seems to have a dreadful track record and to get most stuff wrong. That said I hope this one is true. Stopped clock twice a day and all that.

On transfers - it’s incredibly rare that he’d put his neck out like this for it to be wrong. He has a long, accurate track record.

On - player x or player x people are talking to club y about a leave stuff - then harder to corroborate.

 

[Hugo Rune]

That’s just not true, he’s right a lot more than he’s wrong.

Anyway, a Watford supporting mate text me to say it would be an absolutely insane signing.

Ferguson
Mitoma Pedro March
​

would be some team going forward next year.

Indeed.

Their back up won’t be too shabby either:

Welbeck
Adingra Lallana Sarmiento

And their back up would probably do a job:

Undav
Enciso Groß Buonanotte

 

[Farehamseagull]

Yes, we had João Carlos Teixeira, on loan for a season.

Yes, good call.

I would assume Bernardo spoke Portugese too.

 

[Mancgull]

Would surely mean that Deniz is off?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Would surely mean that Deniz is off?

Maybe does a job at Watford?

I think the game is the same, still looking for value, and good potential for an upside in trading. Nunez would have been good value at £30M.

 

[dazzer6666]

Long term Lallana replacement, along with Enciso/Buonanotte giving us serious no 10/CAM options ?

CAM. So down with the kids.

 

[Eric the meek]

I’ve got a mate who’s got a loyalty card at the Watford Gap and he reckons he’s shithouse.

In all seriousness, can’t draw too much from a “show reel” but he did get tackled and caught in possession more than I would have liked!

He also didn't head the ball. Just saying.

I can't comment on his DJ-ing skills.

 

[southstandandy]

Fab Rom transfer news is as fake as Jordan's tits.
Like, every one can see them [tits/tweets] but rarely do you get to actually handle the goods.

And, announcing like this is not the Brighton way - first we know about most new signings is when the newbie is photographed holding up a blue & white striped shirt with a big number on it ...

#believeitwhenithappens

Agreed. Can't see us spending that much anyway, that's not our style.

 

[dazzer6666]

What does ‘down with the kids‘ mean ?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Pretty sure Bernardo from a few years ago was Brazilian so no

Eh?

 

[Eric the meek]

I think he's a done deal. He's exactly what we go for - his name ends in 'o'. And being Brazilian, he will complete our collection of countries in South America. Apart from Chile.
