Not all Brazilian players are class

Post by Woodleyclaret » Sun Nov 10, 2019 5:53 pm

Wesley at Villa is a complete Donkey with the first touch of a man in wellies
No pace no skill non scoring striker that some fool decided was worth spending £22m on

Otherwise known as Fred Flintsoninho. He used to play with Barnado Rubbleinho (oh dear). They were the bedrock of the team apparently. Willian-ma was in the same team. Okay I was stretching a bit for the last one but you gotta admit it was a good try.

I'll go to my other 2 accounts now and react to this post.

To be honest Wesley looks a decent player to me. Big, physical. not bad in front of goal with a decent record. Especially for 22. Sounds like the sort of criticism Abraham was getting but that's quietened down a bit,.

Hi Boss, glad you are well. :o
Speaking of Illuminati did you know that there is a by-law that says anyone having an erection in public after dark should have it properly illuminated?

When it comes to sly fouls on the opposition, Wesley is world-class.

In my village it against parish council rules to have an erection on the village green (this is very true and causes great hilarity for very obvious reasons :D) must admit to once having broke this rule with a rather attractive lady back in the 1970's walking home from the Pub :D

Wouldn't have worked for me, -- there wouldn't have been enough blood left to walk at the same time.

It's a proper poor do when Brazilians are called Fred and Wesley while English lads' names are Jadon Sancho and Joe Gomez.

It's an age-old myth that all Brazilians are good. They produce some great players, of course, but when you look at the careers of many of their best players they've often been inconsistent.

Neymar's gone/going that way. Kaka was fantastic for a couple of years at Milan (first spell). Ronaldinho had three or four very good seasons but that was it.

Ronaldo was arguably their last "great" who held it together the longest although his weight issues impacted his consistency.
