His agent must know someone in the Portuguese film industry.

Possibly the boss!

in lennon we trust - know nothing about him and assume he's one for the future... but if you thought we had too many diminutive midfielders and needed an abdoulaye faye type - he's 5 foot 7 and a half

He's a 'future star' with a buy out clause of 30M euros, a skilful dribbling creative midfielder - another Rodrigo !!

In the words of that guy from Barcelona, "¿qué?"

A few years back I found myself on Madeira and took in a match between National, who were third in the league at the time and Rio Ave, I think they were fifth. The gate was less than 1000 and it was like a Sunday league game.

So which one of these blurred lookalikes is our new man exactly? His dad/agent's done a splendid job with this montage :roll:

As a (half) Portugeezer, I'd be happy if we loaned / signed another of my countrymen. It's Rochinha's year, don't you know.

:lol: if even the youtub video is him passing it 5 yards I'm not that optimistic. Can't even do a seal dribble.

If the guys 50% of (yeah I know I'm supposed to hate him) Ronaldo then he'd be one of the best players this club had ever had.

I think Bruce may have been asking for evidence that we've signed him.

And just like that, Bob's thread bursts into life. The BN are reporting that we have agreed to sign Adam Le Fondre at the end of next week.

He sounds like he is exactly what we need.
