Barnowl2 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Does anyone know what's happened with him? Doesn't get in the squad on match days - yet Gray rushed a deal through on deadline day to sign him. With Semedo a doubt for Saturday is he likely to play?

Paul.. Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Same answer as last time, and the time before. http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/224147-melo/?hl=melo http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/224016-jose-semedo/page-3#entry5877715 Edited March 5, 2015 by Grimbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 apparently he is struggling to settle down in england atm, so they aren't rushing him into football yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bedders Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Heard reports in media that his English & communication is poor at the minute. Whether this is smoke and mirrors who knows? Let's hope we see him soon as he looks a good tackler but more importantly looks to go forward not backwards where possible. Please don't be another Rodri or Diogo Amado.

Guest Deleted member Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I get the feeling that they genuinely thought they were signing the Brazilian Melo. We'll never see him in a Wednesday shirt again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 This is why Gray hasn't been able to bring in other players on loan.If reports are right he spent the best part of a million quid on deadline day,he plays one,one is injured and the other 2 aren't getting a look in. Wasteful use of resources and proves he hasn't got a clue and can't be trusted with a budget. DC isn't going to spunk money out willy nilly.

ViolaOwls Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I heard it was a MM signing, hes registered to the same agency that a certain person owns.....so I heard, whether its true im not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Whoever signed him, it's nothing like the Krasnic/Kelhar signings of random foreign guys who barely touched a ball over previous seasons and flittered around various lower leagues of Europe, he played a lot of matches for Moreirense and was their captain. Admittedly I've only seen two of his matches for them but he looked real quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 When he signed I asked my friend in Portugal about him who is a huge football fan and knows a lot and she'd never heard of him. I know that doesn't mean too much but it was just a little disappointing that even a portuguese person was saying "who?". Hopefully whoever scouted him knows what they're doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musn't Grumble Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 "His English isn't very good"? Presumably, he was brought in to play football and not write a novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess she doesn't know that much about Portuguese football then, pretty sure I could name the captain of every EPL team! Edit: Come to think of it that's probably a stretch as I can't think who Arsenal's is! But, I could probably name 3-4 first team midfielders for every EPL team...

Paddyowl Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Another Poor Gray signing There's no possibility you can call that at this stage unless you have facts to back it up. Some fans tho....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Tevez couldnt speak english, he scraped by Indeed, although as I've said previously I think it's a lot harder for defensive players to slot in considering the risks associated with those positions. Crap form + crap pitch + not mathematically safe, not the time to be risking new defensive players. Edited March 5, 2015 by Grimbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I tweeted Staton last night about Melo. I just said can you do me a favour when you talk to SG and ask him if Melo isnt invloved because he's not good enough? or is it just a language thing and he's been signed for next sesaon? He replied and said he'd ask, and I think Gray gets interviewed again today so we might find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is exactly my point despite being captain of a midtable team he isn't that well known in Portugal. And she does know a lot! But all I meant was I was hoping we'd bagged a rising star of Portuguese football but I'm not so confident that's the case at the moment. Hopefully she and me will be proved wrong next season!
