    Ketts has very good sources. Plus from what people in the lounges saw on Saturday it appears he exists. Maybe we don't want other scouts there now everyone knows about him. Can't see why we can't give him a short term contract and let him prove his worth. Maybe put an option in so that if he does well we can't lose him when the contract is up.
  • you mean he must be Leaburnesque

    So if he hasn't gone down the well-worn "starts off as Brazilian but gets a Portuguese passport" route does anyone know how he would get a work permit for the UK?

    He's played in France for 6 years so will almost certainly by now have 'indefinite leave to remain' in France - which means he has access to the UK due to the free movement of labour (I seem to recall a minor thread on the topic over the last week or so!!).
    That's what I like about your posts Bob, true HR, through and through;-)

    Has De Melo taken a picture eating a burger in a London hotel yet, that's the sign off a top player

    That's no way to judge a player, everyone knows it's YouTube, Fifa 15 rating or amount of Twitter followers mate.
  • ..actually it's a possible sighting outside Poundland in Eltham High Street. Nailed-on 30-goals-a-season material.

    There was a six foot plus player watching the Reading game yesterday. Looked a bit like a thinner Asrit Adjarevic.

    Might be him.

    EVERYONE looks like a thinner Astrit.
    Eric Pickles doesn't look like a sinner anybody.
    That should say "thinner".

    Perhaps someone has done a Delort on us and offered our trialist more money to go on trial with them?
  • Vaz Te anyone?

    Yes please but very unlikely.

    Thanks @uie2 I was concerned that this striker talk was just becoming another Andy Delort farce and there were going to be rumours that the new striker's dad had confirmed on twitter that he was going to sign for us but at the last minute he changed his mind but if you say you saw your passenger shout hi as pointed out above I can probably stop writing now even though I've neglected any punctuation but I can finish on a full stop.
