[Albion] Rafael Santos Borré

[Bry Nylon]

I've got relatives who are STHs at River Plate and they say he's shitehouse.

Is that how it goes?

Also, remember the procedure for signing strikers.

They are marketed that way, then after signing, fans of the previous club tells us, they aren't really a striker, more of a winger. Never really played up front at all

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Established first teamer, aged 25 so coming toward his peak, free transfer, the only let down is that he’s quite similar style wise to our two current first teamers. Would be positive about this one and hope it meant Connolly could have a Championship loan to play 40 games and Zeqiri be the complimentary third option. Assuming the money or opportunity to sign an even bigger talent isn’t there, this could be a good balanced signing all round and realistic.

Err... work permit?

"No idea where this has come from" does not mean "This isn't happening".

It just means the name of the "leaker" isn't known !


Deliberately clever wording ?

Looking at the photo further down the thread she looks like she could be 13 or 14 (years old).

Sadly that says more about you (and me) than it does about whether Raf once DJ'ed at Radio 1.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

He looks good but the best thing about him is his eyes.
His eyes tell me he is a man of focus,confidence, intensity and passion.
Defenitly one of those players who's mere presence on the pitch can unsettle the opposition.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The lad finished joint top scorer in the Argentinian League, he's 25 and out of contract, so he's going somewhere.

Gremio finished 6th in Brazil so not the sexiest club for him to be joining. I see he's had a couple of spells in Spain that haven't worked out.

The highlight reel shows he is a real poacher but similar in height and positioning to what we already have in Maupauy, Andone and Connolly, and I notice at times he uses his right when he should clearly be using his left.

The Argus has poopoo’d it. But I don’t really know if I can believe their rag any more.

Brian Owen is very reliable and oftentimes has better contacts than Naylor.

 

[dennis]

The New Falcao? **** me where do i sign.

Get it sorted Barbs

Calm down he’s the new Falcao because when he’s pissed he sings Rock Me Amadeus

Would like to see this happen though

 

[Coalburner]

The Argus report says that he stands 5' 9". Just the sort of height we need for a new striker!

 

[Wozza]

Borre off?

Shame.

Then we find out they have a promising DJ career...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Oh, I say! Have we become a hijacking club? I feel a little flutter of pride.

Th Norwich of the South

Can he play in goal? We need a replacement for Ryan.

 

[Skaville]

Not for me Clive. Everything on the showreel suggested he plays on the shoulder of the last defender, using his pace. That’s what Connolly and to a lesser extent, Wellbeck want to do. Waste of money.

The only difference I can see is that when he hits it at least the net moves.

 

[Milano]

People saying ‘no because he’s too much like Connolly’, perhaps he’s better than Connolly......

What is this obsession with sending Connolly out on loan to the Championship? He's already a Premier League player with us and once he gets his physicality settled and his body finishes maturing, we'll have a star on our hands. He's only young and with a few solid games under his belt, he'll find his feet nicely.
