Good point and do not be too surprised if,on reflection,that he realises just how much he will miss friends,family and his lifestyle in Brazil and back out of the deal.
Even our most famous player apparently became very lonely and home sick after a very short time away from his surroundings!!

I do hope you are not thinking of him being loaned to Manchester United after he signs for us. looks like the first target date - presented to supporters tomorrow - will not be met.

The second and third are away to Sheffield and home to Arsenal.

Remember this is Crystal Palace it takes us weeks if not months to actually do anything. While other clubs are able to finalise transfers in a matter of days this is not something we are able to do. If he’s coming it will be a race to beat the transfer deaedline.

I was at the Nou Camp a couple of years ago and it reminded me of Selhurst Park- crap facilities and badly in need of a rebuild! Fast forward a couple of years and they’re knocking it down and building a new stadium despite being strapped for cash! Meanwhile back in South London………..

Looks like the plane was diverted to Beijing and he's now on a slow boat from China

Looks like it's official he's on the club website.

Let me be the first to say

"He's rubbish, get rid"

One more point

Glad it's confirmed. He should be a lively addition - at least, I hope so after all the hype!

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
