fox_up_north Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 Way too many risk factors - new country (culture and climate) - a very different temperament to what we're used to - gets red carded for stupid things - Inter had him for a good few seasons and kept loaning him out, before selling him for way less than they bought him for 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 They'res always excitement when Brazil is mentioned in football. Truth is many Brazilians simply only work out in South American football. This one has all the hallmarks of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 From the mercury. Says we are not interested during this window despite making contact with the players agents... Could be that we see him as a potential option replace Vardy in a year or two and don’t intend to peruse until then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 If there's any truth in this then this is an example of Congerton at the wheel.

Silva Fox Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 Sounds like a classic head v heart situation and in the current circumstances I think we need to stick firmly with the former rather than the latter. Unless we're going to play with 2 up front it's going to be difficult if not impossible to convince anyone to come in and play 2nd fiddle to JV except perhaps a young prospect like Connolly from Brighton.

Jimbo Posted 10 September 2020 Share Posted 10 September 2020 I do genuinely think that someone at the club has recommended this signing, based on our past links to the player, to the current management team and they've pulled out our old scouting reports to have a look. His record outside of his home country would hardly make anyone sit up and take notice of him. Rodgers has scanned through the scouting report, made a phone call to the relevant people to ask the question, has been told no and that's the end of it. Yet foxestalk being what it is, has taken the very tenuous link and will run with it for weeks until the transfer window closes and then moan about it not happening like it was nailed on to happen and Rudkin/Congerton/Rodgers will be slated for not making it happen when it was never going to happen in the 1st place. Of course, I could be so wrong, but I just can't see this being even close to happening, if we were ever geuinely interested in the first place.

If he couldn't perform for Benfica or Inter in what may be regarded as less competitive leagues, what makes anyone think he'd storm it here? If his name was Bill Smith from Darlington he wouldn't even get his name mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_77 Posted 10 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 10 September 2020 This transfer makes too much sense, the guy is already friends with Vardy. @Bert, can your mate get me Gabigol’s autograph next time he’s at Belvoir Dive? 😜 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
