CONFIMRED - Pele

[NewCorkSeth]

You have to have a lot of balls to call yourself Pele.

[maffff]

Would be Reading’s first Guinea-Bissau international.

Joseph Mendes?

Yes. It was this chap. Not Joao like that racist NewCorkSeth suggested.

[Nameless]

Reading shirt with Pele on the back ? Got to be done !!

Our supporters have to up there with the most embarrassing in the world on social media. Middle aged men wetting themselves over players they have never heard of in their lives, really laughable stuff.

This is a time to reserve judgement and calm down.

On paper a very good signing and hopefully fill that big DM gap in the CM

Happy with that (though not enough to wet myself)

Yup. Agreed.

[WestYorksRoyal]

A role we've so desperately needed to fill. I will reserve judgement; Forest were a mess last year so you can't read into his disappointing loan too much

[BarrowBoyBouch]

Got to love Wiki

"On 31 January 2019, Pelé joined English club Nottingham Forest on loan for the remainder of the season.[15] On August 6 2019 he joined Reading FC (nicknamed the big old boys) on loan. He celebrated by pulling down his pants"

And now we're getting this "announce Puscas" nonsense too I know a lot of people prefer the window closing at the end of August but I'm glad it's closed on Thursday, the transfer window really does bring the worst out in people

On paper it's a good signing (look at his career) and it fills the midfield gap but I agree with you that people are going over the top over it (I wonder how many people are judging his ability via Youtube highlights...) I'd easily guess a vast amount have never seen him play before

But this is a common theme among all football fans so disagree with your first point

[Hound]

Twitter is an absolute swamp of cretinous behaviour. I wouldn’t take any notice of the comments on it

[Snowflake Royal]

Delighted to fill an obvious void. Hope it works out.

Absolutely. My pants are staying dry, and OMA shouldn't assume that because he hasn't heard of someone no-one else has.

If at the start of the summer you'd have said we'd start the season with Adam, Morrison, Miazga, Cabral, Pele, Boye and Joao (albeit I didn't know anything of Boye), I'd have laughed my tits off. And Puscas still to come today. Great stuff. The team needed some fresh faces and it got them. Encouraging too that five of them are permanent signings.

<insert Moore, Pele and Puscas joke.>

[Maneki Neko]

pleased with this, adds things to the squad we are very short on

[karbota]

No thank you, another div 1 player at best.

I actually saw Pele's son (Joshua Nascimento) play in a US College Soccer game at Clayton State University in Morrow, Georgia. Sadly Pelé wasn't there to watch!

[StellaPlease]

Forest fans saying he's no good, bit to be honest he was playing under MON and his kick and rush tactics. Jose will know him and we'll be playing a game that suits him so not too concerned.

Quite happy to take what other fans say with a pinch of salt after what Rangers fans said Ovie and Leeds/Middlesborough fans said about Baker.
