Francisco Santos da Silva Junior (Junior to his mates)

[LTblue]

So i've never seen this lad play nor heard of him before Saturday, but now i'm desperate for him to play against Blackpool as he's new.

Fernandes is sh*te lad. I told you this beards ago but you wouldn't listen.

Acclaim me as your favourite talentspotter at once.

He wont listen mate.

I reckon he still thinks Tranny is better than Moutinho.

 

[Muggins]

So we've signed this lad on a 4 and a half year deal. But according to his wiki page he has never played a professional league game. This should be interesting. I wonder how much he's getting in wages.

 

[Kneeg]

Decent player Ossie.

What I'm really asking is, can he do boss step overs and stuff?

I reckon he's about Osman's level, just a guess though. And he can't do step overs cause he's too short, the ball wont fit through his legs, sort of like those little 5 year olds you see on Sunday.

Let's hope no Man U scouts are in this forum, they'll be bidding £40mil for him in the summer.

FFS KENWRONG.

I have a sneaky feeling this could be quite a steel! You don't offer a 4.5 year contract to a youngster thats ****e

The problem is some dodgy scouts\managers automatically assume that any youth player at a really big club "must" be good.

I've no idea if he is or isn't, it all boils down to how good our scouts\Moye's judgement on him is.

 

[ToffeeBlueNose]

He might be good, he might not be good only time will tell....You decide. That is all...

 

[bullensview]

Moyes has said in his pre-match press conference that he hasn't yet signed - anyone know what's happening with this?

Wasn't it dependent on some complicated legal issues?

 

[billycopper]

It could just be that the message hasn't got to Moyes. We never announce a deal until it's all signed and sealed. The only other thing is that something might have cropped up after he'd put pen to paper. I was surprised that it's such a long contract. Moyes must rate him.

 

[Librarian]

It was subject to international clearance wasn't it?

Clear it FFS

 

[Baines' left foot]

Somewhere halfway between Claude Makelele and Ramires.

That is the considered verdict on the potential of Everton new boy Francisco Junior, from the man who scouted him, Emerson Thome.

Bold statement by Mr. Thome.

Well he's saying that he's similiar in build as Makelele but doesn't hold back as much as him but isn't as attacking as Ramires, not that his skillz would be up there. Yet.
