I have that recommendation on my Scouting CV It was just before he signed for Middlesbrough. https://www.11v11.com/matches/brazil-v-sweden-04-june-1995-245693/ We tried sign him a few years later from Atletico Madrid. OMG! I was also at the game, and also wrote a letter to the club about Juninho! Did you ever get a reply? I did not... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also allows Jack & John to tear defences a new A-hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 With everything else that has been going on, I feel that this signing has not quite reached the levels of excitement that it deserves. We have signed a highly rated Brazilian striker people! Let’s enjoy the moment. I think he may well score 100 goals next season. Maybe even 150............either way he will almost certainly get more than Hogan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I'll score as many Premier League goals as Hogan will next season. I haven't seen much mention of Kodjia in any threads.. do people think he's not good enough to lead our line next season? It doesn't sound like Wesley is a like-for-like for Tammy so that suggests a change of formation, another striker coming in, or Hogan/Kodjia being given a chance to show they can lead the line. I think Smith will give Hogan and Kodjia a big opportunity to show their worth in pre-season. Edited June 15, 2019 by Qwpzxjor1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but wouldn't worry, absolutely no reason he would fail to get one. Unless there is some dodgy stuff going on with the panel that make the decision of course......

I was about that age when I wrote to ask why the Doug Ellis Stand lower (refitted in 1995) blocked seats in the lower Holte which had been built less than a year before. He told me it was something they recognised and would rectify at an acceptable level of cost. Well, why design it like that in the first place?
