Tete

Fans see that he’s Brazilian and instantly jizz their pants.

 

Lyon have had a rough ride lately, a change in manager in Laurent Blanc, yet results haven’t picked up and he’s still searching for the right formation.

 

When he’s gone with wingers Tete has been starting, when he hasn’t gone with wingers Tete has been benched. 
 

I watched him against Brest recently and he looked excellent, watched him against Nantes a few weeks later and he was anonymous. 
 

Pretty much all Lyon players have been indifferent this season, Tete has had some good showings though and he’s currently Lyon’s second top goalscorer with 6. 
 

Blanc seems to want a revamp in the forward areas though, Faivre wants out, rumours today of Toko Ekambi leaving too, still hard to tell where Tete stands atm, I wouldn’t be getting too excited just yet.

Why are you being rational?

I have Never seen him play. But Just looking at his numbers for goals and assists in inferior leagues and not particularly dazzling.

 

Lyon don't seem to want him after a loan. 

 

Why the huge excitement? Serious question. 

Since he has joined Lyon:

 

30 appearances - 23 starts

1,951 minutes played - 21.7 90s

8 goals and 10 assists

Goal contribution every 108 minutes

 

Seems pretty decent to me?

Oh this one is going to hurt when we are signing Joe Lolley on loan on deadline day instead. 

Definitely a frosty reception that signing would get. I wouldn’t be opening a magnum is that was the case.

Rodgers will quickly freeze him out

Had to become more sensible in my old age.

 

The days of Kingfox being a cvnt on Foxestalk are long gone.

He’s the brazilian Josh Low

Even more reason to sign him!!! 

[urban fox]

Surely regardless of whether Lyon have an option or not, if the player doesn't want to sign, then it's irrelevant. The stumbling block is they hold his registration until the end of the season and therefore would expect some form of compensation if the loan deal is broken. Regardless of what we agree with the parent club, who hold his contract, Lyon have a strong hand here

We’ll probably have to pay Lyon a sweetener but I’d be shocked if it was anywhere near €20m.

There wouldn’t be any money going from us to Lyon directly I’d have thought

I-see he gets licked by his opponent time and time again and will always get stick, goes to pieces when warming up and just melts in the heat of the action. Sucks. 

[Lambert09]

goals and assists over his whole career out weigh lookman and barnes … we are on the right track with this one. 

 

Lookman and barnes also played in the lower leagues so that slightly balances the easier league argument.  

 

If he comes in at the same output as those guys we’d be making a good signing.  

 

They also highlight just how good barnes is. Even if he’s having a bad patch, the guy hits numbers

That one wins the prize. A 99 with a Cadbury’s flake for witticism.

There likely would, same with the Weghorst to Man Utd deal. They'll have it in the contract you'd assume that recalling him results in a fee to be paid or non payment of the time already served. Either way Shaktar will likely want us to foot that bill. Man Utd paid Besiktas £2.5mill for Burnleys player who they've also paid a similar amount for his loan to them.

So our recruitment team, notoriously slow and ponderous at getting anything done, are now going to get one of the most complex deals you can deal with, done and dusted in a few days?

Yup. Why do things straight forward? It’s not the Leicester way.

Needs Congers and Rodger’s son to get this one over the line….

It’s as far fetched as stranger things. Rudkin still hasn’t eaten his lunch that he made last week.

Shaktar will foot the bill and we’ll pay Shaktar 👍

You're forgetting Rudders new setup at Seagrave. Everything the man needs to get deal over the line in one place...

@Bert has already said we aren't signing Tete and never will.

Just said it isn’t gonna happen. Come back in 8 days when you can hopefully prove me wrong. So many hoops to jump through for this one.

I’m sure Bert would want us to sign him, an actual right winger. A bloody Brazilian. But basic logic would suggest the club have so much to do in so little time this looks less likely to get done.
