You won't buy Galagher for £20m. Everton and Newcastle will both pay more - even if he has a poor run at Chelsea.

Could have made a bid for Semenyo this window, but he is injured. Our scouting network needs to do better. We have not unearthed a decent striker of our own since Swindlehurst and Wrighty :-)

Newcastle maybe, Everton are broke. Loans, frees and Championship players are all they can currently afford.
Even if they sell a couple of players in the next window they still probably wont be allowed to buy as they are in arrears with FFP

Matt O'Riley from Celtic who was apparently watched by Dougie last week is now out of the Champions League. I imagine if we're serious with our interest then this could make the pursuit a little easier.

He played the full 90 for them yesterday and apparently impressed as a deeper lying midfielder. Sounds like just the thing we need. Good energy, good size, good feet and good passing. The perfect foil for Doucouré.

The added bonus is that on top of an 'Ayew-like' work rate, a high footballing IQ, fantastic vision and positional understanding of where his teammates will be in the next split second, is that he is ...left-footed.

MotM of his first Celtic match. 5 assists since then. They paid £1.62m through May 2026. Unfortunately IMO, I cannot imagine us forking out anything less than 20-25 for him if we were to pry him off Celtic. He's good and he is loved by their supporters.

Newcastle now also reported to be interested

Is he the young lad that Textor has been talking to?

We might get him on loan until the end of the season.

I can see this happening. Palace get him on loan for 6 months and put him in the shop window if he does well then next summer the big boys will pile in and Textor makes a small fortune.

From our POV as long as the loan doesn't cost too much then if he is a failure it is low risk.

If he really is the next big thing I can't see his club selling him for £15m.

Release clause figures are meaningless and required in these countries which is why they have them.

Palace wouldn't be able to sign this player anyway he doesn't meet any of the guidelines for work permit.

What interest does Textor hold in this player ?

I might have the wrong player which I why I asked the question. Textor or was it Blizter owns the Brazilian club and is trying to hawk this kid around Europe to the big boys, so they want to use palace as a shop window.

Matheus Franca is from Flamengo - the immediate neighbour of Botafogo. Textor has no interest whatsoever - in fact, the exact opposite. Bota / Flamengo is a 100+ year vicious rivalry replete with bi-annual death threats towards various parties (including Textor) necessitating private security teams, entrance to the stadium in secret, etc.

Would you mind explaining this to me . What are the guidelines that he has to meet to gain a work permit .

 

Croydon-Trucker Flag 15 Nov 22 10.02pm

just looked it up there myself it looks like he meets the requirements to me . Unless he has a crinimal record of course . To qualify for a Skilled Worker visa, you must: work for a UK employer that's been approved by the Home Office. have a 'certificate of sponsorship' from your employer with information about the role you've been offered in the UK. do a job that's on the list of eligible occupations.

Interesting article. I just had a quick look at the squad for RWD Molenbeek where we have Plange and O’Brien on loan, looks like they have 6 players from Botofago on loan.

So I guess this is the model bring young players to Europe to your feeder club and if they make it sell them on at a big profit.

Most of the new post Brexit requirements relate to EU nationals, who previously did not require work permits.
Pre-Brexit non- EU nationals, even if based in Europe, still required work permits

Having a snoop on YouTube, both of the teenage Brazilians linked with us look exciting, but I find it hard to see either of them being ready for the rigours of the PL at such a young age and limited experience, plus they would have to adapt to a new country and as far I know we don't have any Portuguese speaking players?

It's potentially exciting if we are casting our nets in South America, especially when you look at what Brighton have achieved by stalking the Americas, most notably Ecuador. I guess this could all just be Textor creating these rumours, but it is nonetheless an enticing Fondant Fancy on a table of egg and cress sandwiches.
