Jamal Lewis: In Brazil to complete move to São Paulo

[Superior Acuña]

Weren’t there reports he wouldn’t go to Birmingham on loan a couple of years ago rather than rot in our reserves cos it was too far

 

love it, don’t get why more players don’t do stuff like that, good on him 

[Joe1984]

Says he wants to bring PL level to Brazil.

 

You are not PL level Jamal.

 

Good luck though.

Do the Sauds own Sao Paoulo?

Was just about to say Sao Paoulo must be the Brazilian club we have been rumoured to be buying lol

I mean Brazil is a bit more glamorous than Birmingham.

How do Sao Paolo know about him?    Did they scout him?

[gbandit]

Did we pay up his contract? What kind of wages can you get in Brazil?

Bruno and Big Joe have sorted him out

I genuinely forgot he existed so fair play to the Sao Paulo scout.

 

@Flip I'm assuming.

[WilliamPS]

I’m staggered but thrilled for him. Hope he has a lovely time over there.
 

Also delighted there’ll be no risk of him in a black and white shirt again.

  Sending some Brazilian dude to watch Watford vs Rotherham.

I actually think this is most bonkers transfer i can remember. If you had 100 guesses, i doubt anyone would have come up with Sao Paulo, just completely random.

[andyman]

Didn't see this coming, that's for sure

 

Best of luck, Jamal!

He's still Northern Ireland international and was one of their better players in the last qualifiers against Finland. Don't think he gets this move if he was English tbh.

Sol Campbell getting conned into signing for Notts County still beats everything.

[STM]

Does anyone have details on this?

 

Loan/perm, fee? 

 

Always like seeing domestic lads going abroad. Better having an amazing life experience than stinking up the lower leagues. Good luck to him.

[Wolfcastle]

Bizarre. Maybe this is how far down the roladex we got for a taker.

[ikri]

It's going to turn out that the players have an elaborate prank competition going on.  First, Tonali is persuaded that Wetherspoons in Gosforth has great Italian food, now one of our Brazilians has persuaded a connection at Sao Paulo that Jamal Lewis is a brilliant player.

[Troll]

Apart from Portuguese, or people like Diego Costa, are there any other Europeans playing in Brazil?

Only one off the top of my head is/was Colin Kazim Richards at Corinthians a few years ago. 

[Big Geordie]

Helluva move for the lad. Lets hope it works out for him.

[hakka]

Brave move, but actually really happy for him. Hope it works out great for him over there.

Seedorf did a couple of years at Botafogo - presumably cos he was married to a Brazilian at the time, possibly also cos he's got family in Suriname which ain't close but is at least on the same continent.

 warra move

Not Brazil but Daniele de Rossi at Boca too.
