Mystery solved and how we got him. He loves our Rob

Edwards said: “I’m delighted, really excited. I’ve got a really good relationship with Angel – we go back quite a long way now. At the FA we got on really, really well.

 

[sycophantia]

Good luck to him, he's an actual exciting signing, didn't think I'd be saying thay at the start of the window.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

This is too exciting. The pessimist in me is waiting for the inevitable catch.

He's in the Epstein records

 

[Lupo]

Great stuff, excited about this one. As with Armstrong, happy to sign a couple of players that we've actually heard of.

Interesting reading of his connection with RE and that they've been communicating for a couple of weeks

Due to an administrative error by the buying club they actually completed the loan of Selena Gomes.

 

[C.L.D]

I'm excited, this is the standard of signings we thought were possible but never did when we instead paid overs for international dross.

I'm keen to see how he fits in the XI, hopefully not at the expense of Mane. One of the elephants on the room is how, despite Andre and Joao being our two best players, they can't seem to work together creatively and no attacking output.

Someone more knowledgeable than me could probably break down the technical differences of how they work together as a double pivot compared to the Nunes/Moutinho era, but the tl;dr is it hasn't worked, like a lot this season.

7m vs whatever the heck we paid for Munetsi is interesting.

Hopefully means we can switch to a back 4.

Something like that with fluidity between the front players. A few of the other squad options wouldn’t look quite as bad in that shape. For example - if you had to play Jackson or Wolfe in a back 4, they could probably do it. Likewise you could play Bellegarde or Arias ahead of Rodrigo. The main issue would be as/when we need to rest or replace Tolu - because we don’t have anyone else in the squad who can offer what he does. You’d end up having to shoe-horn Hwang up there - or Armstrong, who can probably fit in Tolu’s pocket.

I’m not expecting Angel to start soon, though. He hasn’t started a game since November apparently so not sure how matchfit he is.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was regularly playing until that point so he will be starting pretty soon you would think

 

[Lupo]

Hadn't realised the link between him and RE, had been talking for a while and know eachother from the England U20 set up. Looking forward to seeing how he slots in and performs for us

 

[NicholasG1973]

Super happy with Gomes - I’ll be even happier if we get to keep him.

He’s immediately our best player by a million miles.

 

[Lupo]

Will wear no.47

 

[Tony Towner]

LL said that there's not a provisional agreement with the player to stay. It's just with the club

Do we know what that actually means?

Or is it just cover-up-talk for “when you go down, I’ll look for something better”?

Presumably means a fee is agreed if Gomes signs but there’s no obligation on Gomes to do so.

 

[Tony Towner]

Difficult to see him staying if he does well and without him already agreeing a deal it's unlikely we can flip him Afobe style unless he does us a massive favour.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Not really. Two doses of signing on fee for the flip is quite an incentive
