Josh Dasilva

[Hamburger Hill]

Interesting signing - apparently Brum were sniffing around earlier in the Summer...

This article says more of a dribbler/winger type so may not be a direct replacement for Woods (if he is to go?)

Left back.

Left back.

Isn't that the other Dasilva?

 

[Mr Cynical]

Looks another interesting signing. Another youth international. Arsenal were offering him a new contract so must be decent, sounds like another attacking option rather than a replacement for Woods...

 

[Mr Cynical]

Yes, Cole Dasilva.. Josh is a midfielder...

Is this the one that was on loan at Charlton last season. If so what position did he play? If not then ignore me!

 

[AB]

Article also says he played in the back 3 in his one lesgue cup game. Sounds a bit of a blank canvas who has had a great technical upbringing and who is ready to be moulded into a senior player to suit us. Interesting.

Different bloke. Welcome to him anyway though

No, that was Jay. Recently signed for Bristol City.

no, that was Jay Da Silva I think who is a left back currently at Bristol City

 

[upnorthbee]

Another total footballer, makes his debut as a striker but can be used as cover for Bentley if necessary. Brilliant

Nah that was a Chelsea player

Nah that's the brother who is on loan at Bristol City I believe.

Edit - Just seen posts above, apologies

 

[Holysmit]

Did I imagine it or aren't they triplets and all 3 are footballers?

 

[Cham]

Cole & Jay Dasilva are brothers... Josh has the same surname but not related...

Interesting signing.. Turned down an Arsenal contract so wanted to be part of our project.. Replacement for Woods..

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

If we sign Coles brothers Jay and Rio....plus the young Aussie International at Sydney Daniel...we could field half a team of DaSilva’s in 2-3 years time!

He is NOT related to the Chelsea/Brentford Dasilvas as far as I know..

[brighton bee]

Striker converted into a defensive central midfielder apparently!

Woods replacement I’m thinking.

 

[bostonhanwell]

With our record of developing talent he looks a great prospect.

 

[unBEEliveable]

I wonder if he played any B team games for us as a trialist in preseason?

From an Arsenal fan

‘I've seen this young man play live, he's got a very good football brain, not sure he is a top athlete but he is going to be a star for them. Also very strong and mature beyond his years’

Sounds promising! Maybe he is a replacemt for Woods?

 

[TeeJayBee]

I wonder if he'll play any part this evening?

 

[Hamburger Hill]

I wonder if he'll play any part this evening?

I would say he's been signed as a first teamer so perhaps the League Cup game is more likely?

[IslandBee]

It's such fun reading through these posts, seeing the GPG's collective brain trying to work this all out!! lol

 

[malagakid]

Don’t know why but this feels good. Probably our dofs track record.

 

[johndub]

What’s happening this evening

B team play Bournemouth U 23’s at Griffin Park. K.O. 7pm.
Free admission (Braemar Road only).

Fair bit of background here:

[unBEEliveable]

Looks like they were expecting him to sign another deal at Arsenal - https://arseblog.news/2018/07/what-next-for-dasilva-after-new-arsenal-deal/

"Dasilva’s progression at Arsenal has certainly been interesting as he has gone from a striker to a midfielder and has also demonstrated that he can make an impact as a left-back."

Good cover

 

[North London Bee]

Brilliant signing which further highlights just how well the club is perceived as a training ground for talented youngsters.

 

[wibs]

Can I be the first to say he will leave us in July 2020 for £8m plus add ons, on the same day QPR sign Lee Cattermole

 

[StreathamBee]

great signing hopefully. How did we manage to do a deal with a prem club outside window. or is he classed as a free agent?

 

[alikat]

Can I be the first to say he will leave us in July 2020 for £28m plus add ons, on the same day QPR go out of business

Corrected for you!

 

[bees1984]

I know anyone can look good in those youtube videos and I won't get too carried away but looks like a baller. Quite a big frame (big man in the middle for all those that have been clamouring for it) but looks technically sound, skilful and looks comfortable on the ball. I won't get too carried away haha

:thumbsup: hadn’t picked up on this game.

They gave out fliers at the Wednesday game, that was the first I'd heard of it though. A good idea though to promote it that way.

Out of contract player

 

[psg150]

Out of contract player

So has he been holding off on an Arsenal contract waiting for Brentford to offload Woods and come in for him?

That's fantastic! You Bees.

Whilst also ignoring / declining possible interest from Birmingham ...

#teamslikebrentford, eh?

 

[davewfilms]

Finally signed a proper left back done well last season at charlton

Wrong DaSilva.

That's not him, this guy is a midfielder

 

[Bungy Bee]

Another Josh..welcome..

 

[brundallbee]

A typical Bees signing of late. Very interesting, has had a great grounding and seems capable of playing anywhere but in goal. Well done the DOF's!
