WELCOME, João Gomes!!!

[Adrian_Monk]

One thing I've got to say in Textor's defence - he didn't block me on Twitter when I suggested he 'gave off proper Harvey Weinstein vibes'.

Unlike Jacqui Oatley

 

[TheConcourse]

What’s happening?

**** knows Smithy! Talisca is coming I think.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

I wonder if João has been following the fuss that has been made about him over here?

 

[Supadavewolf]

So where are we moving the Billy Wright (who he?) statue to, in order to accommodate the JG one?

Suppose it could be put out of the way, between the goalposts at the end we're attacking.

 

[sillytuna]

Shall we rename the stadium too?

 

[Supadavewolf]

STOP

Stop, in the name of Joao,
Before you break my heart...

Aaah, Diana Ross. I remember when she missed that open goal at the 1994 World Cup. Perhaps she could be our next striker?

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

The Mix turning into a **** poor parody of itself now.
I've written a song, I've made a few jokes on the other thread but let's have one serious thread, please

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

The only backhander that pratt from Lyon wants is one around the face

Don't think that we will be playing a "friendly" against them anytime soon.

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

I think like a christ the redeemer type look, overlooking the pitch

 

[Cousins78]

What is going on, on the mix. Been away last 2 days and see Joao Gomes links everywhere lol.

 

[JOSWolf]

Lifetime ban for next poster to put a song on this thread please!

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

It's going to be hilarious if he doesn't sign.

 

[Krispy Kreme]

What’s happening?

Talisca?

 

[Krispy Kreme]

**** knows Smithy! Talisca is coming I think.

Bet me to it

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

It's going to be hilarious if he doesn't sign.

I wonder if Flamengo will keep him there out of spite because he scuppered the old boy network deal. Wouldnt put it past these unscrupulous *******s.

I'm not sure they can afford to. They need the money so as they can sign other players.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Anyone else think the bids will come for neves once this lad is signed?

Not in January No

It would be risky they need the money

 

[Scallywolf]

Not in this window. It’s too late.

Anyway, we would be crazy to even consider selling Ruben, while we are in a relegation fight.

Gomes has never played Premier League football and Gomes is in no way an instant replacement for our captain imo.

If Ruben leaves (which will be a very, very sad day) it will be in the summer.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

That's true but I wouldnt be surprised if they flick someone else off to raise the money.

No, No, No!

Tickled me, that.

Translating the Portuguese above:

Flamengo has the first decision of the 2023 season this Saturday (28), when the team faces Palmeiras, for the Brazilian Super Cup. In the midst of this, Rubro-Negro awaits the definition of the future of João Gomes until Friday (27), to decide whether or not the defensive midfielder will be related to the confrontation against Alviverde. This depends directly on whether the athlete is sold. If the deal is confirmed, it will not start.

So far, two clubs are disputing the signing of João Gomes. Wolverhampton (ING) and Lyon (FRA). The English team, however, must win the 'fight' to buy the midfielder for 17 million euros (about R$ 94 million). The French team, in turn, failed to 'seduce' the player even after talking to businessman John Textor, a shareholder of the club, with the number 35 shirt.

It should be noted that, until then, João Gomes was reinstated to Flamengo 's squad and trains normally with the team. As Fla has the Brazilian Super Cup match on Saturday (28), against Palmeiras, Mais Querido hopes to resolve the negotiation with Wolverhampton (ING) by Friday (27) to define whether or not the midfielder will be available of Vítor Pereira in the decision.

So Flamengo might keep him

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Why do people feel the need to compartmentalise. Let chaos reign.

I'll laugh if they do.

Which Song we going for then, I reckon a poll should have been included

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Agreed.

I have to kindly disagree he is our most saleable asset and we are the 5th biggest spenders in europe this season and the books need balancing, plus add in the fact liverpool are desperate and can sign a world class midfielder who is not european cup tied, plus the fact we need a ball winner and battler to drive us up the pitch not someone sitting between the center backs most the game.

 

[Pagey]

Bet me to it

What was the odds on that?

I don’t think lopetegui agrees

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

How about a song about his transfer status?

They tried to make him go to Lyon he said no no no....

 

[wolvesaywe]

Absolutely zero chance Neves will be off in this window

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

He’s coming he has to play though maybe bye to Mouts?

 

[TheConcourse]

To the polling station: @thommo1984, get it set up my friend.

Why does he not deserve better for his loyalty. #freerubenneves

We need him now. He's part of JL's immediate plans to try and keep us up. Barring injury, his stock wont change in a few short months and then he'll be off.
