Portuguese striker joins Chelsea

Good article, misschief.

Given what I now know (he is pretty much a disgraced prodigy), I think it'll be a real indicator of what BPS is like as a mentor, coach and person. Of course I want him to fulfill the great amount of potential that was claimed back in the 2004 article, but it looks like fame has gotten to his head too early.

This kid will certainly be a character, one way or the other!

2 out of 3's not bad Steve....

Ya know... I keep it professional when I'm out and about... professional meaning that I drink all the booze I order!

If he gets his head straight, which given the amount of locker room leadership we have should happen, he may get his game back on point. We as a club need younger talent to replace the older players as they leave. I was a lil bummed when we didn't sign Giovanni from Barca, I wanted to see him with us.

Excited by this chap! Could be a Ronaldo! Except for the wanting to move to Real and slavery! Or have I just jinxed him?

Not sure what to make of it. If he's signed on a loan, I'd imagine he'll be around the first team?

I tought he was a winger...but 20 years old great a young prospect.I've heard he is quite arrogant.

He looks arrogant, let's just hope he is a good player. It seems like he wont be a Ronaldo or Nani, like others have said but I'm crossing my fingers.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

If he is a player like Scott Sinclair then he is worth a go, IMO.

Does anyone think this could close the robinho deal.

[Zola25JT26 0]

I dont. They will just add more to the attacking competition we have.

Does anyone think this could close the robinho deal.

Not a chance, he's unproven - cant even get a game at Sporting - or the club he was loaned out to come to that.

Malouda paim wrighty joe cole robinho kalou too many wingers for me bye bye malouda and swp.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

WTF? I'd take SWP over a guy I've never heard of, and Malouda was excellent in pre-season, and solid against Portsmouth as well.

This isn't making a lot of sense to me, seems like a poor signing. I'll give the lad a chance of course, but I'm not expecting much.
