Is he a centre-forward? Says midfielder in the article.
Says forward on wikipedia so I was going with that ...

His goal scoring record seems to fit a forward more, albeit in Brazil, Ukraine and China not really any major leagues.

I'm well up for another bit of Brazilian skill in the squad.

Has he played in England? The name rings a bell.

Not according to Wiki, but Liverpool were allegedly after him at one stage. That might be where you heard the name?

Would still like to see another forward come in.

But in the current climate, that's prob expecting a lot.  With the Sanson deal alone we'll have done more business than most other PL clubs.

John Terry mentioned when we signed Traore that he can play wide and through the centre, so that's prob our contingency if anything happens to Ollie. It's not ideal, but since Jan 2019, these owners have got the bulk of our transfer business right.

The very much didn't last January!

And Suso paid the price.

And his summer deals have since been vindicated.

Some of them have, some of them not so much.

Maybe. Looks useful (I know, I know):

Looking at those defences I think you are a few "I knows" short.

If we do bring a forward in for the remainder of the season let’s hope he is better than the guy we signed from Swansea last January

Supposedly offered a short term deal to Brazilian centre forward Alex Teixeira, who was playing in China up until last month.

https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/aston-villa-benfica-target-jiangsu-suning-star-alex-teixeira-4356636

Jiangsu Suning paid €50m for him a few years back, so presumably he looked pretty good at some point.  Got a 1 in 2 scoring record in China, although not sure how good/bad that makes him.

The only reason I've heard of him is because I was looking at this list of free agents literally yesterday.

Dzeko being linked to West Ham, would love that type as a signing for rest of the season. His goal record been brilliant last few years in Serie A and did well when he was over here for Man. City.

Sort of short term boost that could nudge us into top 6 I reckon.

Yup. Would be ideal on an 18 month contract.

Reina played a big part in keeping us up, IMO.  Even if the reflexes were clearly on the wane.

The Norwegian lad instead of Reina in those last few games and we'd have probably been down even before Watford went mad and potted Nigel Pearson.

Reina was awful at times as well. I think he just about ended his time with us in credit, but it wasn't an unqualified success by any means.

What he did offer at least was a bit of vocal leadership and organisation at the back. Ontop of how rubbish Nyland generally was, never seemed he'd communicate much with defence either so they simply have no faith in him at all.

Interesting that Reina has gone to Lazio and actually become first choice for them as they had a decent number one already.

It would go against everything the club has said in the last 2 years about transfer policy. We won’t be looking at 34 year old outfield players unless there is a unexpected complete policy change.

I would hope that any policy we have is flexible enough to deal with changes in circumstances, such as the possibility of a Champions League place at least two years ahead of schedule.

I’m guessing they wouldn’t. Whose to say that sort of gamble would work?  I’m patient, I can wait at bit longer for our younger players to get us there. Less financial risk, I don’t won’t to see us throwing money at ageing players with no resale value.
