Summer transfer thread

that is more valid a point than many will realise, getting the kids to the games is vital as is giving them something the chance to take something home with them (from the shop and club related) ...after my first visit to RP i was hooked, bought a scarf and proudly wore it day after day even though we were a bottom of division 2 club.

if all they can get are man utd or liverpool tops/merch who knows what dark path they will choose...

 

I agree

 

Him and Gooch can knock cross field balls to each other accidentally

 

Great way to see a game out

 

Cheers for posting that but looks a bit meh imho.
Constantly overhits the crosses.

 

swap him for Ronaldo ! yes please mind you Gooch could get in that Man u team at the minute. we are in for a Costa rica player in todays echo 18 years old scored internationly as well.

 

Can't get excited about this signing tbh, and a winger aswell. Want some proven players through the middle.

 

Yeah, but he’s still only 18. If he gets to 26 like Gooch and still can’t cross a ball then I’ll judge him

 

Accidental cross field keep ball

 

was just about to say that - get to the byline and lump a crap cross in.

 

No goals or assists. Hope that video isn't showing his best bits.

 

Gooch doesn't get the cross perfect all the time, but we aren't perfect all the time are we.

 

Yeah but South American so must be class.

 

Like Emerson Thome . . . . the only Brazilian in the world that couldn't pass

Great defender, but he couldn't pass

 

I’m one of the few who really like Gooch tbh I’m just being cheeky

 

18yo, played 6 games for Costa Rica. Can't see him getting a work permit - he would need to have played 14 of their games in the last 12 months

 

Have they played 14 games in the last 12 months? Think there are ways around the work permit thing. At least the “big clubs” seem to be able to.

 

I wonder if the Costa Rican was the player Prehab mentioned was here at the weekend ?

 

Easily remedied with the right size and weight of brick

 

18 games. Checked before I posted. As CR are ranked 34th in teh world, he would need have played 75% of their games in the last year - usually it's over 2 years, but as he's under 21 the rules are only based on the last 12 months
