It was on the BBC live transfer updates section yesterday, but you're right, it's not listed in their summary of all the deals done on deadline day. Maybe it wasn't completed in time and fell through.

Possibly just an oversight ? It is the same situation for Joao Felix as well btw. 

Some video footage of him arriving for his medical and some mock ups of Felix 79 shirts, but nothing official anywhere that I can see !

It's confirmed. 

Good news is it sounds like he will be Santos' replacement next season at Strasbourg. 

 

Are Chelsea FC a trustworthy source these days?

at least his song will be easy

On face value, another pretty pointless signing. Probably not going to do anything that Rak-Sakyi or Dyer couldn't have done equally well ... including on loan at Strasbourg.

Good luck to him anyway !

 

Here's his FBREF scouting report LOL 

 

Who’s going to break it to him that he’s loan fodder?

What a sh*tshow. 

We're really pushing the pineapple with this one.

Another shiny new toy whilst lads like these end up being squeezed out

Somebody show me where this kid is any better than Sam

🤯

Shows as #39 in the squad list for Conference League on the UEFA site.

Assuming that is confirmed by the club, he would be the 5th player in our history to take that number, after Carlton Cole, Harry Worley, Nicolas Anelka and Harvey Vale.

I guess we can move this one @Mod

Though maybe we need a new sub section "BlueCo Moneyball Players".

I don't even know where this needs to be now! It's like the Felix one back and forth!

Right. 

 

 

Is ok though @Mod, we keep hearing about how we needed to change, set up a more long term solution.

Yeah that long term solution is to grab all they money they can from themselves, not build even a semi competitive team.

But hey if the billionaire owners making even more money for themselves and Clearlakes shareholders does it for you while the team suffers then

I had to search this thread out. Didn't know it was in the Rumours section still 😆

Who?

Instrumental in our conference league success he got 5 minutes in the second leg of a dead rubber

So when do we sign him?

In terms of contribution on the playing side of things,, this has so far been an utterly pointless signing. Nothing that Rak-Sakyi, Dyer or Walsh couldn't have done as well if not better.

Sorry, got a bit confused there, are you talking about Amougou? Or Felix? Or David Fofana? Or Moreira? Or Casedei? Or Angelo? or Washington? Or Ugochukwu? Or Veiga? Or Kellyman? Or Dewsbury-Hall? Or Anselmino? Or Hutchinson?

Yesterday during the celebrations was the first time I've ever seen this kid. I wouldn't have been able to pick him out of a police line up otherwise.

Yes

He got a medal? I can't even remember him getting minutes, but that probably says more about my memory than the UEFA back office overordering.
