Arthur Gomes

[BFC123]

There's being a burnley fan in Brazil then there's having any idea who this lad is, hes been on loan at small clubs so i highly doubt they've actually watched him play.

He’s played nearly 100 games for arguably the biggest club in Brazil

[Wile E Coyote]

a few tweets from non footballing types in brazil, and some stats (bane of our lives) from equally unreliable sources. Yet Burnley decide he's worth it.
I know who I would trust.
Give the lad a break !!!

The 2 clubs he's been on loan at both play in Brazil's top division

Santos are not the biggest club in Brazil

I’m normally one of the most negative and even I’m impressed by this lad. He might turn out to be useless but after watching some of the videos posted he looks to have talent. We might just have to spend some time bulking him and getting him used to the physicality

[Fez]

Fair enough is that! So there could well have been many games watched by said person

[Targetman]

Santos are not the biggest club in Brazil

No you are correct, Leeds are!

[Devils_Advocate]

No you are correct, Leeds are!

Funny you should say that as Leeds are the best supported English club in both Brazil and Paraguay

[randomclaret2]

Leeds are of course former Copa Libertadores winners...

[Lancasterclaret]

According to a Santos fan on twitter, he was the next big thing at age 15, but its never happened

I back SD to get the best out of anyone given time but still........

[AlargeClaret]

He may turn out to be the next Messi , but half decent Sunday league pub players can look good on a YT highlights reel

[Bin Ont Turf]

Can't even get a Brazilian with a fancy name.

'kin Arthur.

Similar to Kun Aguero then

[Bazer1882]

Think you all should chill out on this. If it happens it happens, think you all could be clutching at anything that's mentioned. Could it be an AI scouting hopeful? That the player or agents has jumped the gun.

Hahahaha, brilliant Bin.

[bfcmatt]

It would appear Arthur is no longer following us on instagram

[Wile E Coyote]

Zico's real name was Arthur Coimbro, so maybe our Arthur can take solace from that.

[Bin Ont Turf]

He's crap anyway.

[Rileybobs]

It would appear Arthur is no longer following us on instagram

Can’t believe we’ve released him already.

[TsarBomba]

Thinking slightly out the box here, but would Lennon partly be brought back with one eye on helping to develop Gomes?

[fidelcastro]

So, is it not happening now?

[Rileybobs]

Doubtful. Lennon doesn’t follow Gomes on Instagram.

[bf2k]

Just been spoken about on TalkSPORT. Tim Vickary can’t can’t really understand the signing.

[BurnleyFC]

He’s just started following Barnsley instead.

(NB: The above might be a lie)

[Vegas Claret]

that's depressing, he's one guy that knows his onions in that part of the world

[fidelcastro]

He sure does. He's one of the few football journalists I actually bother to listen to.

[Vegas Claret]

on the flip side, I remember him saying Bernado was going to be a great signing for Everton !

Either way, at 2.1 million quid it's not much of a risk

talk sport Chester, therefore we can assume he is on his way. Danny Kelly hosting a betting company advert is no reason to doubt the rumours.

??? not sure what that has to do with me posting a link so people can hear for themselves what Vickery has to say

[Vegas Claret]

And what he says is he couldn't get a run in the Santos side because of a player who Real Madrid signed and hasn't done much whilst on loan. Sounds perfect for us, take the unwanted misfits and get the best out of them

[superdimitri]

The obligatory...

In one of those he went down like a sack of potato's holding his eye like it has been gorged out.

Perfect for the premier league.

Sean Dyche will confirm today hes never heard of him and there's nothing in it, you just know it. Then all our expert Brazilian burnley fans will be happy

[Pearcey]

In all fairness it has been very difficult to believe. I’m just not having it.

[wilks_bfc]

Anybody been tracking the flights from Brazil overnight?

[Top Claret]

You probably never saw the likes of Willie Morgan, Ralph Coates, Leighton James and Dave Thomas play.
Four of the finest exponents of the wingers trade.

Seen them all many times. These lads were all British kids who came through our system not a totally unknown from the streets of Brazil. He will be in for a shock with the change of climate, culture and language it will be extremely tough for him.

Say what you like this is a high risk signing, which I doubt as the Dyche seal of approval and I honestly doubt we will see much of him, hope I am proved wrong though

[claptrappers_union]

Not trad the threshold thread, but he’s got history of this representation saying his signed for another club. He apparently sighed for Barcelona before according to YouTube.

This deal makes no sense, I can’t see it happening

[claptrappers_union]

The edit function is not working

I think there's nothing in it, soon see though!

Thats actually a lot more positive than you made it sound CP

Tim Vickery I think nails it with saying its the "Brentford approach" which does fit in with what the club have in mind for recruitment

Still wondering if this is the sort of transfer that SD has in mind though!

[LawsCanalJump]

Anybody been tracking the flights from Brazil overnight?

One heading to London from Sao Paulo as we speak

[superdimitri]

This is so uncharacteristic of us. If it happens a few people will be spitting out their tea and eating their hats.. even Dyche.

There, I said it. I'll eat my hat if we sign him.

[claretonthecoast1882]

We have had for quite a while a weird demand by some to sign someone foreign. Some have a huge phobia of the age 30. Aston Villa were being congratulated last week for getting the signing of Ings done quickly something we could never do.

Then a story breaks that we are signing someone young, foreign and it seems getting it done quickly (that quick that desperate Nixon didn't even get a chance to mention it) and then we decide he is crap and won't play.

There can't be a club in the country that gets close to some of ours

[Targetman]

Fans moan that we don’t sign players, sign a player and you’re not happy. I’m sure signing a young black foreigner will go down well with a lot of our bigoted ignorant fanbase.

Don't think there is any need for a post like that?

Another day and another new dig at fellow supporters.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Another day and another new dig at fellow supporters.

Should I join with the likes of your good self joey and cry and moan at everything the club does ?

Also I don't class the whingers as supporters

[Hedontplayforyou]

Would love this to happen , just to see if he can develop (if needs be) and/or fulfil the potential spoken about by the likes of Tim Vickery etc. YouTube always flatters to deceive but his clips are pretty much everything we lack

[Guitargeorge]

A well executed hoax, a smokescreen, or a bluff?

[Gordaleman]

Said to have been released from his loan at Athletic Goianiense but still showing as a squad member on their official site.

https://atleticogoianiense.com.br/profi ... gomes.html

Of course, it's very early Monday morning in Brazil and the site may not have been updated as yet.

Interesting one this.


Someone said earlier that he wasn't a Dyche type player (Because he wasn't British or Irish.) but I'm not sure that's necessarily correct. Maybe it was just the previous board that thought that way? After all Gomez is the third foreign player we've been firmly linked with in this window, after Lookman and Cornet.
