Confirmed Signing Joao Virginia

[Bruce Wayne]

A welcome return to the days when us signing a young keeper was an obligatory part of our summer.

Seems to be highly rated by the Arse fans.
Maybe we're looking ahead to the possibility of Pickford being poached from us within the next few years (not impossible)

Either way, if we don't come up with a song for him based on John Denvers "Country Roads", we need sacking off as a fan base!

Beats Carlo Nash on deadline day or Marcus Hahnemann half way through October.

 

[Bobby P]

Does it say why Arsenal were willing to let him go?

Arthur Okonkwo.

Arthur Okonkwo.

Cheers mate. So obviously they must have more confidence in this Okonkwo lad making it to the first team.

 

[Goat]

How much?!?!?

Tony Adams was just on Sky saying he was told it was 42m plus add ons.

We weren't.
It's come as a bit of a surprise.
He's very good for his age , obviously he can improve. Think his path was blocked with Martinez,Cech and Leno.
Our youth keepers are very good, we only just managed to fend off RB Liepzig from snatching Arthur Okonkwo off our books. The kid is 6'5
Good luck to Joao.

[RomanReigns]

[Eggs]

Looked good on the Youtube compilation. Seems a lot like Pickfords style.

...presume you mean a similar size and frame?

Edit; Internet reckons 6ft 3in which is good.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

...presume you mean a similar size and frame?

and his style of play, several flashy tip overs, a shot stopper, a couple of parry back out into the box type saves.few examples handling crosses and commanding the box, etc... not much of his distributuion on the clips though.

18 Years old, lets get him prepped, lets get him ready, few football league loans, maybe a couple of Carabao Cup games (provided they are against bum teams), and who knows, could be one for the future if Pickford leave.
