We supposedly upped the bid for Joao a few days ago after our 2.4M offer was refused.
I'd expect it to be one or the other Kev. I can't see us loaning Jones AND signing Joao, we'd have 4 striker that never played!!

I am not convinced about Jones anyway. 320 apps with 80 odd goals, was much more prolific when younger but has struggled a bit with his last three clubs making nearly 150 apps for only 26 goals and is now 30 years old. Personally I would bet on May, Bus and Lavery maybe being better options than him now!!

Joao was also Matias' strike partner at Nacional. I'm guessing the thinking here is simply 2 good players that already know one another.
I think if Lopez pulls up a few tree's he'll be ours at the end of the season too.

Yes, Joao definitely has that going for him and if he signs it should certainly help not just him but Matias settle much quicker. We really need to start the season well and build momentum from there if we are to stand any chance of the playoffs, if we start badly I can see crowds dropping and the atmosphere at S6 going downhill with it!!

1st goal was Lopez fault for pulling out of a tackle, the 4th goal was Semedo fault for messing about with ball. Palmer & Helan were the starting FB last night

Still no announcement on Wiggings.
I think we'll all feel a lot better when a natural LB signs.

Rumours are that the Wiggins deal is off for now.
