I don't get why Lyon would want him anyway, can he even bake a cake?

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

Maybe if we got a South American scout it would help us to have some contacts over there.

Someone like Leonardo Baldo

Use to scout for Monaco and Corinthians and now at some MLS club

Let’s hope Barack Obama and Elon Musk retweet what you wrote then. Quality not quantity

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Looks like this will drag on
With the club wanting more money after Lyon gazumping us and the lad wanting to come here
If its true he has told Lyon to do one then Flamengo have to reopen talks with us surely
Maybe an extra million will sweeten the deal,but i hate dealing with these two faced teams,shame for the lad though

 

[Darvo]

When they come grovelling back to us we should reduce our offer by £1m

Nah no room for petulance, just get it done.

That means more negotiating.

Just yes thank you sign the ****ing paperwork get him on a plane

That takes me back to Lyons corner house in Queens Square.

Lyons tea rooms that does take me back

Seems like a young lad with some principles, that are often lacking in football nowadays.

If he rides this out and forces through the move he'd already agreed to, he'll be a club legend before the inks dry.

Agreed... As long as the Flamengo chairman is made to wear a bright pink baby doll nightdress and 16 inch ruby stilettos when handing the paperwork over, I'm fine with that.



... Although, reading that back, I'm not sure what that says about me?

FLAMENGO: Not wanting to wish ill luck on anyone, except for these NO MARK, HEAD THE BALLS!!
'Pretty Flamingoes' (Manfred Mann) , they certainly are NOT!

 

[Rauls Headband]

I think what is says about you is how do you know the Flamenco football clubs chairman on such a personal level to know his day wear?!

 

[Nige100]

It’s up in the air if we get him to be honest which is a shame for the lad as he clearly wanted to come and he is clearly a talent.

What Flamenco get left with though is a disheartened player if they don’t pick up the phone. I can’t praise a 21yr old highly enough turning down a club like Lyon if he doesn't fancy it. Most players of that age normally get pushed around by agents and club CEO’s. Wherever he ends up a player I hadn’t heard of a week ago will now have me following his career with interest.

Exactly this. Don't sink to their level.

hope we get him now....i think he will receive a warm welcome

Well done lad sack your agent and give Uncle Jorg a call

No, we need to hit them where it hurts most, leave them a really bad review on Trustpilot

Think that's going to far now, yes they have been ****s but are we really going to sink as low as leaving them a bad review?

Surely we go with the Amy Winehouse song? They tried to make him go to Lyon but he said no no no....

If we do get him that has to be done great spot

 

[Topcat]

I hope I’m wrong but somehow I don’t think the lad is coming. Wolves aren’t going to be messed around for too much longer I suspect?

Time to move on to the next target!

I think we have been used from the beginning.
If John Textor is really a good friend of the Flamengo Chairman and he also owns a club in Brazil, he would have known about Gomes and would have been in there first, if he was interested. He probably tried to get him much cheaper. We have shown he was worth more. Then Textor comes back and buys at the price Flamengo always wanted.

If Textor is a really good friend of the Flamengo owner, why would he need to gazump our offer? Surely matching it would be enough for a really good friend?

This is all very dramatic in my opinion. I feel Lyon are being used (possibly knowingly) to encourage a matching of their bid, or even a gazumping.

With the player not willing to sign for the French club, Wolves become the failsafe, but with the hope of improved bids in the meantime.

If no bids, I guess he'll come.

Possibly, but then Flamengo has to worry about us moving on and being stuck with the player that they clearly want to make profit on right now.

Time to despatch another task force to the South Atlantic I think. Has Brazil got a junta?

Vickery:

Gomes prefers Wolves over Lyon'​

South American football expert Tim Vickery on Flamengo midfielder Joao Gomes, who is wanted by Wolves and Lyon:
"There’s a Brazilian connection with Lyon because they’re part-owned by John Textor, who has a stake in Botafogo, in Rio, as well as in Crystal Palace.
"As I understand it, the Lyon deal would offer Flamengo a little bit more money. But Joao Gomes wants the Premier League.
"Flamengo were delighted when Wolves came in. Gomes is 21 and there’s always that fear that, if they reach the 22 mark, the transfer value starts to fall if they are still in South America.
"Flamengo have just signed an expensive player for his position so I think they’re willing to sell. Flamengo will be even happier if he accepts Lyon, but I think the fact he wants to go to Wolves probably puts them still in pole position."

Sounds like another Palhinha, dare I say.
