My point was it would be amusing if we signed him to specifically play as the false nine after the outcry about having been forced to play this system (which we didn't play the whole of pre-season) because of Raul's injury, but yeah you trump me on the amusement factor there
Jota wasn't, but look how good he was / became
I just don’t think there’s anything bad about the signing, or any way to beat the club up about this one.
No, only has six letters
And the ç in Gonçalo is a Z with a lisp
He's actually on holiday in South America, Hobbs is bringing him back.
I wouldn't mind that at all. He has the attributes to play it. Podence doesn't.
Surely it's too late for us to start pronouncing Portuguese names properly!
Tim Vickery is probably the most interesting football person out there to listen to.
Saturday again showed the desperate need for athleticism in the central midfield position. We are great when we have the ball further forward but we need somebody good on the ball under pressure who can handle the pace of the game and press.
Reminds me of the time I lived in California and became close friends with a couple of Mexicans who were really into their football. Met them because an English guy, who was living with them in a house share, stopped me in the street one day because I was wearing a Wolves top and he was a Blues fan from Smethwick. The Mexican's had good English but strong Mexican accents. However, they pronounced all English football team names and players with a black country accent because of this guy's influence. It sounded bizarre how they would flip from sounding like someone from Narcos and switch to a Kevin Turvey accent when talking English football.
Good players improve in a better side.
Portuguese names and the Black Country accent are not exactly a happy combo....
I was half asleep whilst listening so am clearly open to correction!
No, needs to be registered before noon on friday
Which Friday?
This friday to play Saturday
Him and Danny Baker on a Sunday night are the best thing on talksport
So could definitely play on Saturday!
Is he on Talksport these days?
Nah, full pre-season, he is a quality player with international pedigree and goals just throw him in as soon as the paperwork is ratified with the league before Friday lunch time.
Loved Danny Baker when he started BBC 606. He also did a Saturday lunchtime slot on 5 for a while which was good. Unfortunately kept getting sacked for telling it how it is. I think the last one was for basically calling a referee all the names under the sun for a very poor refereeing performance.
No, it was a picture he tweeted of Harry and Megan holding hands with a chimpanzee......
... and the comments that he made when called out....
That was his last BBC sacking, he was sacked twice from 606 for comments he made about referees and some other stuff I can’t remember.
I meant Danny Kelly. But I also liked Danny Baker on 606
Didn't he say he hoped people rioting in London got cancer? Dunno if that was related, I know he had it himself but probably wouldn't be a popular viewpoint
Moreover is the variety of goals he scores, left foot, right foot, head, and he can really spank them from range. Hopefully we don't coach that out of him like we did with Neves because that quality is very useful for a team that struggles to score goals.
What did we coach out of Neves?
