Is he the first Brazilian international play for us? Johnny Tex was Brazilian and a Slovakian International does that count? Text wasn't an international though was he ?

Are we allowed something daft this season like about 10 subs?

Wesley's Brazil experience was sat on the bench (unused sub) when selected for South Korea game. Appeared against Argentina as a very late sub played 4 minutes. and Ryan's England experience was getting dominated by Zlatan, doesn't make him any less of an England international in the records

According to Wikipedia he had his first kid at 14 and his second at 16! He's the daddy!

Exciting in some respects.
But lots of question marks and not entirely sure it will work out. Then again we’re in gambling territory and he’s got the potential to be a hit so fingers crossed.
I just can’t shake the John Carew vibes I’m getting 😬

A more interesting than Davis or Moore or Stewart. Good work Stoke hope he does well 👍🏻
Interested to see who’s going to come in to pad out the British spine that Neil spoke about in the battle cruiser.

Good signing.
One year deal too so very risk free.
Him banging in the assists from Vidigal and Chiqhino will be lovely.

1 year deal is a little strange for someone his age? Bit of a risk signing? I think we’re being used a bit aren’t we? And that’s fine tbh if it works. And if he doesn’t he sods off after a year. Happy days. Agreed - short contracts brings the best out of players in my view - the same scenario as loan signings - they have a lot to play for

No idea mate just remember him changing nationality to Slovakian and assumed he must have done that so that he could play internationally for them as he wouldn't get a game for Brazil. If I could be arsed I'd Google him. Only 25 when he died wasn't he. Very sad.

Very promising window so far, but another left back and Trusty or Davies at the back and we couldn't have asked for more really!

According to Wikipedia he had his first kid at 14 and his second at 16! He's the daddy! It also states he has one leg longer than the other. He’ll run rings around this league.

Does this count as Rock the City? More a rumble in Trent Vale, but definitely a step in the right direction. Wait until we spend our war chest!

Something that has struck me over the last few days is the excitement that the club’s fresh approach to recruitment is generating.
If we’d signed a slew of decent, but entirely predictable, Championship players I think there’d be more pressure to hit the ground running.
I’m sensing this group will get time to gel and the fans will be right behind them.
That will help the manager.
Starting to feel optimistic.

According to MARCA (yes, I know that is no guarantee) he was on his way to Man U for 60m when he got injured.

Can't say I'm too excited about this signing. Seems a really weird deal if you ask me.
And 1 goal every 11 games in the segunda division which is a worse standard than the championship doesn't inspire confidence.
Hope I'm proven wrong but I just don't understand this deal or what he will bring.

If he’s shit he leaves. If he’s good he may leave or sign a deal. Either way we are not lumbered with a dud for a long contract. It sounds like a master stroke to me If he turns out to be good I'll be having one of them myself.

One year is risk free and hopefully he's back to his best after his injuries.

Read a couple of things on the villa forum.
Firstly they like him but feel that his career is over thanks to Ben Mee.
Secondly they seem to think that we have taken him for free on the condition that we pay his premiership wage which they estimate at 30k.

Did we get him for free and use what fee he may have cost as a signing on to offset what is surely a ridiculous wage?
I’ve wanted a target man for a very long time. Now we have one, I’m very happy.

Nevertheless, he is our most exciting signing for years.
