[Albion] Wesley - 19yo right back from Flamengo

[Johnny RoastBeef]

This rumour is still circulating in Brazil.

De "número" no Mundial a titular, Wesley, agora aos 20 anos, tem ciclo surpreendente no Flamengo

Lateral foi ao Marrocos, mas ficou fora da lista de inscritos; uma semana antes de chegar à África, atleta havia recebido proposta do Barcelona

Nice to see this reply to that tweet from a Brazilian Flamengo fan.



Translation: Brighton is perfect for Wesley, the youngsters play calmly there, and the club is very well structured.

Still struggling with the 'next Roberto Carlos ' as opposed to the 'next Paul Watson' stuff.

Felt like our business was done very calmly over the summer. I suspect both Wesley and Branco might be done over the next few months a la Buonaotte and they'll arrive January.

 

[Questions]

Can he play right back ?

I love the ‘Brighton or Barcelona’ vibe of that tweet.

It’s like the Barco rumours, ‘Brighton or Man City’.

Of course, we beat Man Utd and Newcastle to another South American wonderkid in Caicedo in what turned out to be probably the second most financially prudent thing we have done in our history (after becoming owned by Mr Bloom).

We are the South American signing experts!

The wife told me to stop doing an impression of a flamingo.

I had to put my foot down.

Wrong thread! This should be joke de jour!

I bet they want double.

I wonder if this is a real one or if we're just sending West Ham and Everton on an expensive wild goose chase while we land our real target

Apparently he's been accused of assault, so pretty sure we'd have put the breaks on until the situation with that is clarified.

Wonder if we are trying to get a deal agreed before Sam Jewell gets involved with his new employer.

Still considered a Snipes at £8m

Yes but he’s signing for the Blades

We might well take a few more than we need before the turncoat gets his traitorous legs under the Chelsea recruitment desk.

Can’t see him jumping for that move

Would be Hard Luck if 7 Seconds of Unstoppable Chaos prevents Wesley joining the Major League Money Train.

Wesley, considered a Snipes, known widely for the Blade Trilogy

Thanks for that. Have heard of Wesley Snipes, I think - but the Blade Trilogy? Not a scooby! (and thank you, but I'm quite happy with my ignorance on the subject!)

I really hope that we are going to sign a ‘Barco’ for the right. We need the sort of thing Lamptey can give us but for more than a dozen games per season.

This is another option (no rumours yet). This guy has just a year left on his contract.
