Re: Xande Silva

We will probably end up with someone even worse

Cheer up, it could be worse, like the January 2017 window when Forest signed Ross McCormack and Zach Clough.

Re: Xande Silva

Tails has tweeted that this guy is one of several options the clubs weighing up..

There's nothing concrete at the moment.

Maybe we won't cement the deal

Surely you'd have to be plastered to sign off on this

Re: Xande Silva

I take it he had one good game against Olympiacos last season and Marinakis won't allow it to happen again? f***ing shitshow of a club.

Re: Xande Silva

I've never seen the lad play, can't recall seeing any highlights of him either, but just wait until you see these..... *ahem*....."highlights".

Sorry to the Greeks on here but the standard of football is shoooocking

Re: Xande Silva

So this is our striker signing.... hmmm... ok.

I think even we could finish top half in Greece

Re: Xande Silva

I said this on the transfer thread but I went to look for some stats on him and literally there are none - barely played and not scored yet he is somehow classifed as a striker - he gets a harsh write-up on the Hammers website where even they declare he's been disappointing and its not worked out even when he's gone on loan - surely to god it'd been better to take a punt on a lower league striker on lower wages with more hunger than a Premier League bust.

I'm just glad we got rid of Brereton and Walker. Especially as we spent all that money so well. Neither of them could have done a job here (despite them both having done a decent job in the same league last season)

Re: Xande Silva

Not keen on this one, smells like a panic signing.

Re: Xande Silva

The good news is that this signing isn't going to turn out to be a disappointment based on expectations!

Most definitely. He was better than the stupid video whenever I saw him.

Started dreadfully but seemed to pick up near the end. The goal at around 4:20 looked good but the standard might not be the best.

Looks quick and more than willing to take people on but would he be anything more than a squad player? Is he keeping out Mighten?

Re: Xande Silva

Anyone else getting vibes from the Montanier season, signing absolute nobodies and almost getting relegated.

You haven't set much of a benchmark there!

Re: Xande Silva

What's going on with the music in that youtube video?

Sounds like some cheesy TV show from the 80s that instantly flopped and was never to be seen again.

The creator of that video must be deeply embarrassed for various reasons.

Sigh...

Re: Xande Silva

Hope he proves me wrong, but this feels like we've sent Nuno Da Costa out on loan and are looking to sign Nuno Da Costa mk2 on loan.

Re: Xande Silva

Happy to be proven wrong but absolutely nothing about this signing inspires me

Olympiacos still smashed our back doors in without looking like getting out of second gear in that friendly

Re: Xande Silva

I'm going to reserve judgement on this one until he gets some action up front, perhaps it will work out (I hate hope).

FFS, that looks like exactly the sort of agent driven shit our previous recruitments have been based on. This all looks like another one where DM has had no input.
