TOPIC: Louis Pedro

Dutch winger. Offered a deal.

He's the lad who scored 2 v Barrow.

Angolan born. Started at Feyenoord, played for a few teams in Holland, been in Bulgaria and Romania recently...

His name even sounds a better option than hope or gilliead

I hope he's left footed, otherwise Wukkie is gonna have a fit!

I thought you lot would've discovered the best site on the internet by now. A bit of meat on the bones for you.

He's even scored in the Europa League this season against Saint-Etienne - a bit of a comedown with the trip to Yeovil ahead.

Edited to add it says on CCU's last link he's a right-footer FFS - Curle's gonna have to give me a contract at this stage just to add a bit of balance to the side. I can't run and I'm past it so I'll fit right in.

If we're fortunate he could turn out to be another Zoko as his career was generally rubbish before he joined us.

Maybe I'm being thick (probably), but I can't see where it says he's right footed.

Wukkie, as good as Soccerway is, it's not mobile friendly...

Given that he's a Right-Winger I'm assuming he's Right-Footed Crunch.

I saw Kyle Dempsey with his old boy before the game in the car park. I'm surprised he wasn't in Huddersfield's squad given they were away to the Animals today in a big Yorkshire derby. He didn't look injured. Possible loan move? LOL

Agree about Soccerway being cack on the mobile too CCU, it's a pain.

Maybe not. He is Dutch after all. Think of the best Dutch right winger in the world... Arjen Robben; left footed, right winger. It seems more common on the continent for right footers to play on the left and left footers on the right.

We'll have to wait and see.

Imagine if he could use both feet, a pipe dream probably but just maybe

Kyle was in the Beehive before the game saying he was injured.

I text a Hudds supporting mate, he says Dempsey is injured for 3 weeks...

Luis Pedro was in the Car Park at full time too...

I seen him and thought it was Richard Offiong.

Curle also mentioned in his post match that he was set to sign a league one player on loan, he had the go ahead from club and player, but another league one club came in at the last minute.

I'm guessing it was Jamal Campbell-Ryce. He's just gone on loan from Sheffield United to Chesterfield, and Curle had him at Notts County.

Ill be more than happy if he can use one fairly well.

Second time they've gazumped us then after Liddle.

You can't blame Campbell-Ryce for going there, league 1, hell live near bye etc.

If I didn't know better I would think we have a Chesterfield mole in our camp, after all we have everything else.

I believe that there was a memo sent round all of league 1 clubs earlier in the season from Chesterfield (after we knocked them out of the league cup) that and I quote "If Carlisle United apply to sign any of your player can you give Chesterfield the heads up. League 1 solidarity!"

From scoring in the Europa League to playing on trial on our training pitch against Barrow Reserves.

He must be overjoyed with the way his career is progressing.

Kevin Osei played for Marseille in the Europa League so lets give him a chance but temper expectations

Pedro's goals v Barrow...

Thought my phone was about to blow up after that first one.

That second strike was a real un. Good old Peds

both goals were taken well....but how good were the opposition? A Barrow reserve side is nothing to get excited about. may as well have played it against the youth team for all the good it has proven. just like pre-season, any friendlies need to be against football league clubs to understand the qualities a potential signing has.

Who's getting excited ya miserable sod

Agree that i'm sure he will face much stronger opposition but when he scored the second I smiled and said Wow, it was a cracker.

Curle i imagine.

I was thinking cross it ya greedy git

Just watched the trademark foreign player Youtube montage and the good news is he looks like quite a tricky, attacking minded left winger. Having said that, Kevin Osei also looked good on his montage so I won't be getting ahead of myself. Any left winger is a bonus at the moment though.

Just scored against Burnley.

Not taken off at half-time, possibly suggests he won't be signed in time for Friday or else why would we risk him being tired?

means nothing except improving his match fitness.

Just scored another to make it 4-1 to us. Hery and Troy got the others

Final score 4-1

Sounds like another impressive display against better opposition than Barrow. Let's hope he can do the business in League 2!

Could it be that one of Curle's ambitious signings is actually coming to fruition? After so many missed targets it would be nice to get a game changer over the line to turn the season around. 2 great goals in 2 games, how often do our current players even attempt 20 yard curlers or cutting in from the byline?

He'll be signing for Burnley tomorrow, then

Chesterfield scouts were at the game, allegedly!

Hope we have offered him a decent deal and for once don't miss the boat.

was it better opposition? U21 Burnley side/Barrow reserve side?

Don't get too excited hes only played a couple of very low key bounce games,maybe a contract till end of season to have a good look at him

PaddockRanger wrote:
Well I'd say so.

Barry seems to reckon him:

Let's hope nobody nips in and offers him a longer decent deal, seeing as we have only offered a short term one. If he really is as good as he seems we should be brave the enough to offer a longer deal.
