Gedson Fernandes

[sammyspurs]

Oh don’t tell me, the 90s were brilliant again and we all climbed in over the floodlights and did the can can and no one cared when we got hammered on a weekly basis, and ripped down the shelf and had a new manager every season...........everyone celebrated our seasonal our relegation battles, just a decade after winning the UEFA and challenging for the title.

No one wanted Sugar out, no one wanted better.....it was utopia back then and the team was applauded off every week.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaawn

Probably reckons both him and his dad have a chance of playing.

That's not what I meant when I said I want both Fernandes-es

Some fans are absolute fucking morons. Guessing a lot of them rarely leave their post code yet feel they're qualified to comment on a player they have absolutely no idea about.

Let's give him a go and see how he gets on. We splurged a (then) club record on a top, top goalscorer from spain once. One everyone knew about and had a huge boner for. And he was fucking USELESS.
Name/reputation/stats mean nothing.

On another note, I believe loan-to-buy is gonna be the way from now on and I believe other clubs will adopt it. There's a handful of clubs in the world that can afford to take £50m plus punts and not be bothered if the player fails. We aren't one of them.
If enough loanees fail, then it might just burst this ludicrous transfer bubble that's been growing for 5/6 years.

 

[Achilles]

Shame it hasn't worked out for him.

If he does leave in January - good luck in wherever he plays next.

Hasn't acted out or made a fuss, hope he can succeed in Portugal.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

This is why all transfers should be conducted as "try before you buy "

 

[existenzrippchen]

Fucking embarrassing to let go off such a loyal club legend without a proper farewell. I will never forget his groundbreaking 14 games, 0 goals and 0 assists.

 

[Bill Madrid]

We ain't getting anyone
I am not a happy bunny this morning...

This is me and you Sean, pictured earlier.

The name of our slough is very much Despond

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Magna carta does he play DM

And he's home grown...

 

[sammyspurs]

PLEASE DONT BE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

 

[Tottenham Sean]

“I’ve never heard of him but it’s Tottenham so it’s a poor signing”

Smacks of that,doesn't it?

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Really not excited.

 

[Oracle]

Have we signed him yet? Is he any good? Never heard of him, surely someone must have been following him from a young age and not in a jimmy saville kind of way! :vert:

Sorry I’ve only followed him a Jimmy Saville kind of way so can’t help

 

[Stanley]

Some facts about Fernandes:

- He came from an African island that was a colony of Portugal
- He was ‘sold’ to benfica for 250 euro and 25 footballs
- Both his parents live in London
- Doesn’t have a luxury lifestyle
- He ‘had’ a +100 million euro release clause
- Nicknamed Paco or Ghost
- Won the U17 championship with Portugal

 

[Bazali]

Running would prove to be a major upgrade currently

Especially if he manages to go in the right direction

 

[sammyspurs]

I missed Ginola's wonder goal because i went for a pee...

Real fans pissed in their chinos

[Incomplete_usernam]

Think Levy is doing loan deals because of the contract situations with Eriksen etc, doesn't want to be burned and also doesn't want to commit money outright for unproven talent.

Personally in this instance I think Levy is right, £43m for a player that has struggled to even get in the Benfica starting 11 is a huge risk, not sure why we have signed him tbh, we needed a DM and he isn't a DM imo.

However, I support any player that wears the shirt so I hope he proves me wrong and hits the ground running and if Jose wants him then I trust in his choice.

 

[Cactusman]

Well I never knew of him a week ago, but good luck to the lad.

The first picture in this tweet though - is that guy really a doctor?

 

[kingdawson]

Except that we've paid 4 million for his services for 18 months and will still have to find a player to replace or compete with Sissoko. 4 million might be the difference between buying and not buying a striker.

Mate i think you know you're being ridiculous right?

 

[Atomic knob]

Thought Gedson showed real promise. Aggressive with ball skills. Hard to tell completely since the whole team is a mess. Think I would give him, Skipp, Parrott a lot of time going forward this season. Begin the summer training now.
