Transfer rumours !

Saw this on Sky rumours - anyone know anything about this lad other than we're now not getting him because we've signed Le Fondue set?

"The chase of 20-year-old Brazilian forward van Santos from Botafogo continues as Middlesbrough joins the race with Watford, while Bolton after signing le Fondre and Heskey has dismissed their long-term transfer target"

Hadn't heard it at all until you posted that.  Maybe he came through "the hole"

According to Nixon, Traore deal has a couple of hold ups but sounds reasonably positive and that Northern Irish lad Hughes should get a deal soon. Polish guy hasn't been offered a deal.

Supposedly a striker i think, although i'm not sure he ahs the best scoring record if i am thinking of the right person.

He can play on either wing or upfront

Odelusi to Coventry (loan)

Would much prefer Traore to Mackaill Smith, was an excellent league 1 striker and a good championship striker in his day but looks as if injuries have taken their toll. His game was based around running his arse off and harrying defenders, if he can't do that anymore he's had it.

how many years has Odelusi been with us now? It seems like forever and i don't remember him featuring in the first team very much at all.

Not a clue who she is, it was the first nice pic I came across from google images!

He has been with us since 2009.

He came on a professional contract in 2012 and has featured in 6 games since then for us.

Is nat writing someone off before they've even signed again..

Don't pretend you've heard of Mackail Smith before today, we all know the limits of your football knowledge. Rob Earnshaw is the first player outside of Lancashire you've known of.

If you followed my work you'd know I urged the club to sign him many years ago before he made it big-ish.

If Coyle had signed MacKail Smith instead of Marvin Sordell we'd probably still be in the Prem.

He'd probably have played N'gog and Davies anyway to be fair.

True.

I am totally against signing foreigners with no experience of English football as they are a massive risk. This French lad should stick with Orient.

You silly bint. His brother plays for Chelsea and he's been linked with United and Arsenal in the past, he's fucking quality, just like medo.

Can't have these stinking foreigners take White British people's jobs, I admire your commitment Nat. Wilkinson to start every game for the next 15 years.
