Player Suggestion Lucas Joao

[Ainsley Harriott]

So if we were to buy joao we’d be helping to stop them lot from sinking into the abyss for ever? No thanks move on to another player and get him for free next year.

We’d be dropping a penny in the ocean in terms of helping them out financially. Chansiri said last night his profits barely pay the back office. £1.5m for João. See if it upsets the apple cart a bit

 

[Blade58]

We’d deffo get a bid accepted I reckon

Just to change that slightly because I think it slightly misleading

"Wendy would deffo get a bid accepted I reckon, but not by Utd"

Seriously, as previous, any clubs come in with financial clout and we're fked

Winnall would be more realistic, but he's injured and also Wendy wouldn't want to sell to us anyway imo

Not in pig squad today

We should just stick with strengthen our side as much as possible, don't care about the pigs. They will f*ck things up one way or another. If we can sign Joao for a reasonable amount of money/wages we should do it.

 

[Booker4]

Best thing is Chansiri has said they need to get promoted or they will be screwed financially! Lost for words there!

As for Joao I really like him but he'll probably go abroad or to someone like Middlesborough. since they've lost many players of late and will spend.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Not in pig squad today

Apparently injured.

 

[bettsyblade86]

Apparently injured.

Flu? Or sunburn?

 

[Blade58]

Apparently injured.

Trained all week but picked up a groin injury apparently

Suspect?

I can see him heading off somewhere, but unfortunately not our way

 

[Mouth of the South]

Even though I suspect a few are basing their opinions of him solely on his finish last season that triggered the 1 min bounce and he has got some ability (inc. some pace and skill that Utd are currently lacking), he appear to lacks heart and therefore it's a no from me and I would guess CW as well.

CW rumoured to have enquired about him, so perhaps not a no from CW?

Yeah, I don’t get the clamour for this guy, he’s hardly consistent when it comes to scoring, and other than flashes last season he’s hardly a striker that would consistently perform probably down to his attitude.

 

[SUFC Guy]

I would deffo buy him for £18m (to clear their £18m debt) but pay them in installments of 500k per annum over 36 years.

Would hopefully send them down and get us promoted.

Neighbourly love and all that

500k up front, 17.5m if he lives to 120

 

[Aston max]

I would love to sign this lad just to watch the melt down on pork talk

 

[Farnboroughblade]

Stuck in bed with a bout of flu and spending the day flicking from this site to Blades Mad for any recent updates or rumours. To break it up I just went over to the dark sides page and read some interesting theories under 'Joao's Injury. Made me chuckle at least. Fantastic watching them squirm.

 

[SwissBlade]

We're signing Joao as translator for Juanpi. Despite speaking different languages, Joao has jumped at the chance to work at a proper football club and admitted that he loves the Blades.

As Joao is retiring from football to take up his translation duties, he is not being employed on a playing contract, therefore no fee is due to Wednesday.

He would however be eligible to sign as a player from 1st September

[Wapping Blade]

I thought it sounded fishy when in Jos’s interview on FH yesterday, he said “Jao came up to me on Friday and told me he was injured and not available”.

Yep. Hilarious thread on his “injury”, much of which appears to be written by contributors who are convinced that aliens killed JFK and the Apollo 11 mission was filmed in a secret hangar somewhere deep in Area 51. Top stuff

It’s also suggested that the “injury” might be a cover story for his imminent move to Porto, Sporting Lisbon or Benfica (Barca, Real and PSG are presumably also monitoring)

i read that and thought it said Peterboro at first, how have they pulled that off raged Mr Jelly, then I read it slower.

Bit like my earlier mis reading on GreasyChipBeattie's thread where I thought he wrote that he took a crap on the beach

 

[Chief_Froley]

Let's bring Chengdu Blades back, get them to buy Jao for half a pack of Quavers then sell him to us.

Reyt easy this football manager lark

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

If they’re so desperate for money, offer them 100k.

 

[Grappler]

Fuck Wednesday!

 

[Bladezz]

We should be looking to take Hooper and Joao!

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Which horse?

Pantomime horse?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

More than what they bought him for. They didn’t accept it because it was us.

We should pretend we are someone else than or just say we are asking on behalf of a friend?

 

[Eric Cartman]

We should pretend we are someone else than or just say we are asking on behalf of a friend?

*dons trench coat, fake moustache, glasses and wig*

“Hello, Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer team”
“Hey we’d like just buy Lucas Joao for 5.1 million please”
“Yeah no probs who’s calling please?”
“... Stretfield United”
“Who?”
“You won’t have heard of us we’re new”
“And what’s your name?”
“... Craig Wilder”
“*line goes dead*”

"Hello, my name is Mr Snrub and I come from some place far away!"

 

[Eric Cartman]

"Yes, it is I, Craig, can we get the deal done or not?"

 

[Jon Bon II]

"Yes, it is I, Craig, can we get the deal done or not?"

Ooh that's just reminded me. I have a letter to post...

Didn’t our Prince buy a share in a Belgian club recently?

Here’s an idea:

Why don’t we get Prince’s Belgian club to buy him on the cheap then transfer him to us later?
