    Outrageous were selling Suarez and replacing him in the first 11 with this guy, Gino really is making some crazy decisions etc etc.
    Like a mini Sarr

    Why though? He can come here, be paid and loaned until he reaches maturity and if he's any good, we'll bring him in for a full preseason and then sell him for 3.5m (rising to 7m if he does anything) it's virtually risk free for the big boys.

    This kid looks **** hot and he certainly knows where the net is, I know he is young but could Vlad actually think about using him right now?

    To prevent yourself turning into a crumbling wreck over this guy (and all similar transfers like this one), best thing to do is now completely forget about him. Mods should now lock the thread and let it slide away.

    IF he then ends up actually playing for us then great.

    IF he doesn’t and just gets loaned / sold, then so what, he was never truly ours to begin with. If deals like this help us financially (even if only a little bit) then all good.

    The fact that his shirt and hair also match our kit is a double bonus. It's a yes from me and that's before finding out that the greatest ever player in the world of Championship Manager is his agent.

    Exactly. We could do a lot worse than Samba. Easy 50 goals this season.

    Giraldi’s still working off the Championship Manager 97 database. Give him time.

    Can't wait for 5 years time when he finds Daniel Braaten. He was a beast.

    You can't fault the effort he put in, makes a change from the usual mercenaries who stroll through the door

    Not actually arriving until January, so we can forget any hopes of seeing him in action for a while, even for the under 23s.

    At least Cherno was real.

    When you find out that your star striker "Tó Madeira", having raved about him to your mates, was a figment of the developers imagination.

    Although I suggested we might use him straight away in my previous post above, obviously he is not coming until January so will not be available until then at the earliest.

    However if he is available in January, work permit permitting, Vlad might just decide to utilise him straight away, because as I said earlier he looks **** hot in the videos I saw of him (see #19 on this thread).

    I’m not sure there is any way we can actually get a work permit for him? Unless he already has a European passport there is no way he is going to play for us until January 2023 at the earliest?

    I’ve gone through the work permit criteria and he doesn’t qualify for any of it.

    TVOR's already pulled some strings and sorted one out for him.

    You will note I did say "WORK PERMIT PERMITTING", I've enlarged the wording this time just in case you are little short sighted, rather than just being your usual smart-arsed self :p

    Quite a few people have explained already that his chances of getting a work permit in January are slim to none, unless he has a secret UK/EU passport.

    ****-hot or hot-****.

    Only time will tell.

    Except it won’t, because he’ll never play for us.
