LOAN DEAL : Nottingham Forest agreed terms with Chelsea loan on deal and set medicals…..

Nearly every time we’ve seen Andrey Santos play, be that for Brazil U20, Vasco, or for us this preseason, he’s shown why Chelsea plunked down the millions to pluck him out of the Brazilian second division in January. It’s not often that a teenager can consistently control the midfield in a senior game, but he’s already shown he’s well capable of that!

And while he won’t get to keep showing that for us this year, he won’t be going too far — certainly not by his globe-trotting standards. According to The Times and then Fabrizio Romano, the 19-year-old will be joining Nottingham Forest on loan for the season.

It will be just a straight-up loan without any future considerations. And since it’s a domestic loan, it also won’t fall under FIFA’s reduced loan allowance.

The English men’s national team should have already been qualified for the 2002 World Cup. But as they’d previously been known to do, they made things just a bit harder on themselves. David Beckham had a 93′ chance to draw against Greece.
