Franca

2 cm can be a lot 🤣 Seriously, though at 5,11 Guehi is small for a CD, not great in the air, compared to Lacroix and Richards, Riad is 6,2 if he ever gets fit.

I won’t say the old gag of you’ve been talking to my mrs 🤣

It is the model of plausibility that my dear wife has no recollection of such matters as such activity was in the dim and distant past.🙂

You'd be surprised.

Your milkman would probably say otherwise 🤣

I know this idea might not go down too well, but how about the club implement a policy that all injuried players are banned from shagging until they are fit to return. They'd be back like a shot!. We'd have the fewest and shortist injury list ever! 😆

If anyone wants to know how to police it, get one of the floodlights from the ground to shine into their bedroom and deploy a drone to keep watch.

That or a dose of bromide before bed.

They could sell chastity cages in the club shop. Ones that play Glad All Over when you unlock them.

Another waste of space.

Offload him, Edouard and Nketiah.

If we are to have real ambition as a serious club, we just can't have players who contribute next to nothing.
I'd cut our losses and sign some quality.

£30 million Nketiah. £20 million for Franca. A total waste of precious money.

Never rated Nketiah, our obsession with getting him seemed absurd.

Franca was a gamble into the unknown which has unfortunately not paid off.

I am reading that we might be offloading Édouard to Girona for £6m which be very handy.

I recall the clause in his transfer regarding minutes played in the Champions League 🙂

I think it was money if we win the Champions League.

Wow, his agent didn't do much homework

The transfer was nonsense. And still is. I think he has a Ballon D'or clause.

As someone said earlier, it doesn't feel like a Palace-esque transfer at all (apart from him being always injured)

Oh I thought it was simply extra money if he plays games in the CL.

Possibly the best salesman ever
"And! And! If Matteus gets-Ah! I mean WHEN Mateus gets his Balon d'Or you pay us more but it's TOTALLY worth it, trust me."

Franca was injured when we signed him and only ever played for his team in Brazil when they played weaker opposition. The local press at that time were staggered that we signed him for the reported 20mil. I'm not sure he would be insurable either because of his known injuries when we signed him. all he is good for is keeping the Physio employed and the treatment room warm as he now has filled the space left by ''Wickham''. Hopefully his contact is up soon!

Not that soon. He still has three years on his contract.

An inexplicable signing, none of it makes sense. £20 odd million for an injured player with only a handful of games under his belt, relocating over five and a half thousand miles to play in one of the toughest leagues in the world away from friends and family. Highly dubious.
The samba fanfare was very embarrassing too.

 

[DenTyler]

Does anybody know what is wrong with him now?

Also… did he share a house with ferguson and Doucoure?

 

[dreamwaverider]

Wonder how much of the £20m was actually paid.
Wonder what Flamengo actually saw of whatever was paid.
What is Franca earning?

You didn't like the barrage of stereotypes? 😂 yeah it was total cringe.

Makes me wonder what Max Dowman (Arsenal) is worth. Looking like a future Messi/Yamal, and he is only 15!!. Already having run outs for their first eleven. Was MoM in China.
