Alysson - signed

[Dave]

^ yup.

If he were one of those Brazilian teenagers who they were expecting to turn into a world beater, then Real Madrid or Benfica would have signed him for more than we're paying when he was 14 years old.

I will never not be happy to see us sign a left-footed Brazilian winger. I remember us signing Glenn Whelan.

Irish Villain > Brazillian Villain

If you could somehow combine the two, you'd have the perfect mix.

There were a fair few, including the Belgian on here that still owes us all a beer.

I know it's not me you're taking about mate.  But anyway, as a fellow Belgian I thought big Chris was an expensive mistake. We've been in Bruges twice last year so I've bought enough beers in the Eiermarkt to make up for that. 🤣

Looks very good, quick and strong. It'll take time for him to adapt to the PL, new country, language etc., Looks a bit similar to Jhon Duran when he first joined 3 years ago. Obviously he will get the best coaching, so we need to give him time......

Yep, I'm not expecting anything from him this season, that's just not what a signing like this is about.

Clearly idea is he becomes Duran type mark 2. If not Porto or Napoli will probably give us our money back

He came across well in his interview with Pravda. Sounds like his parents and two sisters are moving over with him. Life-changing for the whole family.

He was asked what type of player he is and even though we had a Portuguese speaker asking him the questions, he interpreted it as what type of personality he is! Shy and family-oriented (is it oriented or orientated?) in case Eastie still reads on here.
