Such a good dude.

 

I remember talking with @HaydnNUFCwhen I was over last November, right around the time Joelinton was turning into a midfielder. Can't imagine what it must've been like for him to come here with that price tag, not live up to it, then be stuck in his apartment during lockdown without his friends or family around.

 

To come out of that and keep his head high and become the player he has is amazing. Takes so much mental strength and belief, and obviously talent. Such a good story and long may it continue.

Anyone know when Brazil announce their provisional squad? Would love so Joelinton there if they include like 50-60 players like other nations does.

Monday next week they announce the final squad apparently

Not sure how I missed this but it is class like. Our players are fucking mint. 

Minted as well judging by the fact he's got lights on in every room AND outside. Plus he's wearing next to nowt so, clearly, has the heating on full blast. 

In the middle of an energy crisis anarl.

He's gone up in my estimation and I can tell you now, I will love it if he stays here even longer, love it.

 

He maybe one of a future legend here. Yes, the word legend is a bit heavy but what he went through in his first 2 season under that knacker Bruce, to where he is now, its just mental.

There is still so much more to come from him, i thought he looked incredible over the weekend interchanging with Willock - making tackles, driving forward, providing cover for the left side and then of course scoring his goal.  When he was flying for Hoffenheim, he was at his best as a left sided forward no?

I think he will end up as an wide left forward again.  He will be incredibly useful in our jaunts to European giants in the future. He's exactly the sort of massive shithouse you need to break the will of tough opposition on the road.

 

His versatility means he will end up playing 30 games a season, even if we decide to "upgrade" in key positions. He's a beautiful, beautiful, beast.

This is it for me 

 

He was ridiculed by all, referred to as the biggest flop in the PL, he was on a 6 year contract and the easy thing could have been for him to just think sod this and just coast until his contract ran out.

 

We've see many players do that but he never ever hid, would battle through games and always put his body on the line.

 

It takes enormous character to do that and it's amazing that he's went from biggest waste of money to £40m being a bargain.

Both of Willock and Longstaff deserve to stay in for Chelsea but Joelinton equally deserves to come back into the team immediately so I imagine same team as started against Villa for the Chelsea game.

Imagine sitting third and having a debate on who should be in our first team because the players are so good.

The crazy thing is the players we're debating about are the same players that we had when we were fighting relegation.

Stoked he'll be fresh for the cup game, hoping he starts.

 

I'm way more invested in getting through to the next round than I am in the Chelsea result. Really think this team can win a cup, realistically, this year. We've shown we can beat any team on a day, even if we played City in the final I'd feel like we have a decent shout.

In the  provisional 55-man Brazil squad.


Where have you seen this?

 

26th man squad to be unveiled in 5.5 hours. Doubt we’ll see him, but would suggest he’s an option in case of injury to Fred.
