I’m uneasy with this transfer. I completely buy-in and support a model of us consistently buying highly talented up-and-coming players, developing them, selling for profit and repeating the cycle. However, we seem to be missing two key parts 1. Consistent moderate investment (by Prem standards) and a Manager that risks and develops young talent. As a result, although I’d love to be delighted I’m not. I am concerned about the opportunity cost of us investing £17m which is probably what half, or at best a third, of our likely summer outlay on an unproven player. I don’t want to hear from Parish or insiders that we didn’t have the cash to sign a decent striker or winger and know we dropped £17m on a player who is unlikely to feature. Anyone else share this? Not personally from what I've seen this lad is worth it.

Hiya, I wanted to share a short 2 and a half minute detailing everything you need to know about Matheus Franca now that he’s officially signed for those interested. A frightening talent who I reckon will take the Prem by storm. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, cheers and enjoy your weekend! Cheers for the link, very interesting.

Are the drummers wearing the new 3rd kit? It has cinch across the front and seems to say something about South London...
I read this board everyday but never write anything; except this. |

Yes, very good indeed! Nice to see him on the pitch at half-time today too. Finally at Selhurst Park and ready to start training with the squad next week. Wonder what the news will be on International Clearance, GBE & work permit?

Right. Every seasons we sign a youngster from abroad; Mexico, USA, Sweden, Poland etc and never ever see them in a Palace shirt. I understand the multitude of reasons behind that happening but we've paid a lot of money for this guy. He has to feature immediately. I'll be seriously concerned if in a weeks time we see a "França loaned to Slavia Praha" post pop up on the Palace website.

Its bad enough being here for all this rain, let alone a possible thunderstorm.

I think he has the style, physic and strength of a young Ronaldo, destined to be CF within a year

And his own pronunciation proves that Midlands was spot on when he informed us earlier in the thread that the surname sounds like 'Fransa'.
