To be fair this'll do... Nobody outside of Thailand and Zambia cares about the club announcing this as """"undisclosed"""", honestly fans might as well just work it out for themselves, most finding out when he's named on the bench away at Spurs.

That'd be fun actually and have no names on the back of shirts either

Just announced via app.

I'd be more excited if it mean Wout Faes packing his bags.

Well we now have way too many CB's so at least one or two have to go. We would get the most money for Faes I suspect.

Anyone checked if @moore_94 is okay? Called the local hospitals etc?

Was stuck in a meeting!

Congrats to @moore_94 on your new career at LCFC.

I did get a new job recently, unfortunately (or probably fortunately) it was not at LCFC 

[VLC86]

Hopefully a decent deal, has looked to have bags of potential when I’ve seen him play.

[Pita]

Looking like a decent window so far 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Songs for this lad?

 

Do the Okoli Kokoli? 

[The_77]

And we already have a chant ready-made for him:
 

He’s our f***ing centre-back,

Caleb Okoli!

You're not fooling anyone; you haven't got a job. Your clone on the other hand... It's the only explanation 

[KingsX]

Certainly looks like he can defend.

I am Caleb Okoliiiii, ain't nobody I'd rather be

Ah wow. The club going with the original 'player prints his name on back of shirt' announcement! So cool! 

[StriderHiryu]

Welcome to the club, I hope he's another piece of Glover magic.

 

I'm a bit sceptical as I think there are better players on the market. Specifically Ipswich are signing Jacob Greaves for a very similar price and comparing the two seems a lot better:

 

However, Greaves was playing in a competitive team in the Championship, Okoli in a struggling team in Serie A. He was also signed by Atalanta who are great at finding gems and has represented Italy at several youth levels, and they often produce great CBs. His physicality looks like a huge plus for the Premier League, that's for sure.

 

Can't imagine this is great news for either Coady or Souttar though...

[niyaminski]

Faes and Souttar gone I recon

Imagine if we’d signed that Spanish defender Juan Annolli 

[Samilktray]

Based on Coopers time at Forest we’ve got at least 37 more bodged player announcements to get through this summer, I personally cannot wait.

The plan was to also do this for Bobby Decordova-Reid but Twitter's got a video length limit and Tarantino wanted to direct it into a feature length film.

Please take Wout Faes away from me

[ScotFox1]

Describes himself as strong and fast.. presumably he has seen our existing roster of defenders and thought the descriptor was accurate!  

[cruzFOX]

That fluorescent yellow training jersey!

Okoli's percentiles are compared to CBs in the top five leagues, Greaves' to the "next 14" leagues.  Apples and oranges to that extent.

At least we're going to sign a shitload of players. It's exciting even if they might all be shit.

This is bizarre! A YouTube exclusive 😅

 

Welcome, Okoli! 🦊

I'm amazed it's not on PPV.

 

I guess no one at the club has had that smart idea yet.
