    He is a 20 year old who has never played outside of Brazil before - nothing but a prospect, and how many of those have we seen already ?

    I think this is the way that the operation goes. Take prospects on, then if they make the grade they are worth loads of money, but if they don't then they are still good enough to get their money back. Every so often you uncover a gem which is good for the club, and in the end a large transfer fee.

    MS said last week that he needs 5 or 6 new players to get us to were the board and he wants us to be (better than last year) . So he already have 2 so he wants anther 3 or 4 in the next 2 weeks ? Will he get them ?

    I get the impression this is for our first team and not sure they would pay that much just to send him straight out on loan when it's exactly the type of player we need. I don't think he will start straight away but from reports, it sounds a coup that we got him

    There's a few who sound confident he will get a work permit - possibly not initially but certainly on appeal - and seems to be a few things they take into consideration; he has been playing for a high-ranking nation in both their U17s and U20s, the value of the transfer (and wages) plus the status of the clubs.

    I will reserve judgement before using words like 'coup' - this will be our 3rd highest transfer fee, and that for a player who has never played outside of his homeland and has only 1 and a half seasons under his belt ? To me that does not sound like good business - comparing this to eg. Capoue's record - 2 seasons at Spurs, 6 at Toulouse, and 7 full caps for France - yet cost 4 million less. Or Chalobah, being at half of the fee for Richarlison.

    The 'Coup' bit is more it was rumoured Chelsea were interested just a couple of weeks ago, and we can beat a team like Ajax to such a signing. He's meant to be highly thought of in Brazil... Although as you say, we will just have to wait and see how it turns out, but for me this is still a rather exciting signing (assuming it does go through).

    Seen this rumour too, and there was talk that Jose will decide after their Super Cup Final - they have the FA Cup Final this Sunday then this match next Tuesday, so may play a part...

    Oops - not sure what I was thinking... for some reason thought they won the FA Cup so they would be in the Community Shield - but they didn't even win that - had a mare on that one :headbang:

    but it can come down to something as small as who is on the adjudicating panel."

    Fluminense president confirms Richarlison Watford sale for £11 million
    but it can come down to something as small as who is on the adjudicating panel
    so our season relies on a 20 y kid that looks good (but not in a cold Nov night in Watford) or some odd duffer that is a XXXXX fan
