Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

He wasn't in Flamengo's squad last night for their Copa Libertadores match V Olimpia.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I posted this a few days ago to try and give a better representation of Franca rather than the usual compilations. Potential is there but very raw. His talent will hopefully see him contribute but I'd imagine he's much less ready for Prem football compared to when Eze and Olise came. Patience will be needed...as will further signings!!

The lad is clearly highly thought of and at 19 has a lot of potential. The mere fact a Brazilian could be coming to Palace is exciting haha. The fact that he's a versatile attacker will be very useful and should give him more opportunities and I'm sure he'd enjoy linking up with Eze and Olise. Obviously YouTube compilations can make anyone look amazing so I like to try and find individual match highlights as I think they give a more accurate representation of a players ability. Here's 4 I found from within the last year;
Weaknesses appear to be decision making, sloppy passes and attacking positioning and knowing how to take up dangerous positions. Certainly seems like a lot to be excited about with his main weaknesses being something that can be worked on and stuff which is very common for young players. We'll have to be patient as he's young and is making a huge move at such a young age but he looks like a tough lad, who can handle some rough treatment on the pitch and is used to playing in high pressure atmospheres. I await the photo of him holding a Palace shirt...or news of a late West Ham bid.

The picture posted on twitter was França saying his goodbyes at the airport in Rio de Janeiro…one can assume that he’s in London by now.

Maybe, picture could be from anytime &/or anywhere, link stated he was still in Brazil, saying his goodbyes. We will only know if/when the club present him as a signed player holding the shirt etc. Not feeling any enthusiasm, for this protracted transfer now, still think, if he does finally become a Palace player, he'll end up in the U21's to start. We'll see.

This click-bait is saying he HAS now arrived & will be at the Lyon game, if so, my apologies Phil's Barber. Edited by eagleman13 (04 Aug 2023 5.26pm)
