Young. 22. Brazilian. Are we not buying players from Brighton anymore?

We only buy our Brazilians from the source.

When you look at this - it is not too bad. Well, apart from weak goalkeepers and weak depth at CB.

Goalkeepers: Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen.

Defenders: Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella, Axel Disasi, Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, Renato Veiga.

Midfielders: Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka.

Attackers: Nicolas Jackson, Marc Guiu, Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto.

Desperately needs a number 9, and desperately needs badiash*te and disasta replacing.

That's 25, I posted in the other thread we don't need to count under 21s in the 25man squad. So we can add a few more outcasts to that list if we need to and remove lavia, chucky and guiu.

Like we could of held on to trev for example just in case of injuries.

Oh and we need a third goalkeeper, minimum of 3 in the rules.

Cool, so we have 6 players 21 or under (I keep getting it confused between 21 and under or under 21, too lazy to count. Lol)

No idea bud, but guess he's available.

Thing is a few leagues still open, and no idea if there are more outgoings still. This was on the beeb today: 

Chelsea and England defender Ben Chilwell, 27, has been offered as a potential loanee for Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce. (Givemesport)

* I just seen you posted the above already under chillys thread. Do you think Maresca knows anything? Lol

He's dating a 15 year old Brazilian TV star. Age of consent in Brazil is 14. 

I'd be very careful using pejoratives on a public forum.

eek

 

He just turned 18. 

He was 17, she is 15. She'll be joining him in the UK when she turns 16 according to the news.

 

She did come for a visit and left straight away when it was pointed out the age of consent is different here than in Brazil. You know the Vatican age of consent is 13!

I only skimmed the websites...to get the jist of it. I missed the date. This was a while back. But imo still overblown. He WAS 17 when she WAS 15. Both kids. I wouldn't call him a paedophile.

They were both kids despite the law classing one an adult at 18, he wasn't 42! I'm sure he wasn't grooming or being predatory!

Then there was perfectly legal (in the end) Sadio Mane!

Exactly...classing him as a pedo is a bit much. 3 yrs difference is nothing. There's 8 yrs difference between my wife and I.

So when I was 18 she was 10, lol.

Biggest gap for me was 12 years though. She was 22 and drove me insane. Didn't last long, 3 months ish. 

 

Mehhh...3 yrs is nothing. And they were both juveniles at the start.

An age gap is not a problem but it is when one is under-age.

15 and 17 is fine.  BUT 15 and 23 is a bit creepy. I mean it is only 8 years, but there is a huge difference between being a teen at 15 and being a young adult at 23. 8 years is nothing later on. I mean a 30 year old and 38 year old is fine.  So they were both teens which is fine imho

 

 RB Leipzig's centre-back Castello Lukeba, 21.  We do like a French CB.  And IF we keep buying them then surely one will come good?

. . .and He is mates with our very own French RB Mr. Gusto. From their days at Lyon.

Milos Kerkez [20] Left back at Bournemouth. Plays for Hungary [born in Serbia]. I haven’t really noticed anything about him to be honest. He looked okay. Apparently we are interested.

 

Bump. 

He's honestly been the best LB in the league for me this season so far.

Worth keeping an eye. I am happy with our current full backs, but things can change.
