Slighty surprised if the rumours of the deal for Fred being agreed today are true. He’s a CM/ DM and very short. Doesn’t sound like a Jose signing at all. Maybe he really is planning to add a few Brazilians to the line up. Fred, Sandro, Willian and I read something about Douglas Costa today also.

Not thrilled at all by the links with Mandzukic or Arnautovic. Any of those two would be shocking business. I hope we steer well clear.

I'd take Mandzukic in a heartbeat.

Claude Makelele was an inch smaller then Fred and was pivotal to Mourinho's early success at Chelsea, calling him 'Player of the Season' in his first year in charge so Jose does actually value other things then height in players.

One of those qualities is energy and Athletisism and Fred has plenty of that. I think there was a stat saying we were one of the bottom clubs for sprints and distance covered in the league. Fred is a proper box-to-box dynamo of a midfielder and might be the answer to that. Hope we sign him tbh.

Sounds like a Brazilian Kante.

As someone who is 5ft 7 and a half ( 6ft 1 on tinder) I reckon he will be fine.

Could be great as long as he don't have the anderson eating gene!

I know its not top trumps but Douglas Costa 40m, Sandro 45-50m
. Who would take an hypothetical swap for returning Pogba with the need for very little money changing hands?

He looks good from what I've seen but admittedly its only champions league and a few Brazil games. Size is irrelevant if you have the quality it will shine through. I hope he comes. Can be our Fred the red lol.

Ive read somewhere today that his real name is Fredrico Anderson Kleberson Bebe Djemba Jones 😆😆.

Maybe the club have identified him and not Jose.
Ed said that was the case with bailly for example.

Asking if he is 'bald' was meant to follow the 'he looks like a Brazilian Kante' comment, I didn't realise the delay with posts going up so my joke kind of looks weird now, haha.

He is more in mould of David Silva. the way he creates passes. runs forward and score goals. Mind word. I said mould of David Silva. not similar to David Silva.
