Well the loan makes it all the more bizarre, Im not on about the transfer fee involved with Bebe I'm talking about the nature of signing an unknown lower league player.

I think it might have been actually. I could be wrong but I think he got injured early on but kept going while trying to mark Zaha
Yeah thats kind of how I remember it also. There's a good chance that was against Bolton and Kellet. Can't be sure.

Rated Pereira is the best young player in the academy. Good interview overall but the question where he is asked to describe being here in 1 word he says strange, makes me think that he doesn't even think he'll last here.
Because he won't. He is going back to Bolton at the end of the season.
He looked impressive in the games that I've seen him play.. I think he'll make a good Championship defender at the very least
Using one word, describe the feeling of wearing the famous red of Manchester United?
Andy: Strange.
Andy: Strange.
Yeah he's good on the ball and quite pacey.Haven't seen any problem defensively so far as well.
At least he is a honest lad
Any chance of us signing him on a permanent deal?
He has been great when I´ve watched the U-21´s ..
So why not.
So why not.
If he's done well would a 2nd season loan be on the cards to see if he can progress in our team?
He wasn't good against City but he has been really good during his time here. Just seen he actually won Plymouth's young player of the year award as well. I'd say there is no chance of us signing him though, he is almost 22 and will never make our first team, he was only brought in so Reece James could go on loan. I'd imagine CBJ will be looking to take the LB spot for the u21s.
I thought apart from the first 10 minutes he did well against City
Yeah he still wasn't bad. Had some trouble with Nemane at the start but by the second half he had him shut out. I guess I've been so impressed with him so far I'm starting to have higher expectations of him. He was a couple years younger I would have been all for signing him.
At there being an Andy Kellet performances thread.We certainly have to bring another LB unless we want James to stay and back up for the first team.If CBJ is injured at some point next season we (the U21s) will be fecked as I'm not even sure who'll play LB for the U18s next season to be called upon when needed (knowing McGuinness he'll play a CM or CB there).
I forgot this was an actual thing.
Yeah, there is the talk of this Sam Grimshaw lad who is supposed to be a left-sided player so if we decide to sign him he could make up the numbers in a Veseli type deal. Kellet might be in with a chance of breaking into Bolton's first team so he'd probably prefer to stay there then to play another season with our u21s.
Yeah Sam Grimshaw will probably be the next signing though I would prefer to just loan him or sign a younger player.Borthwick-Jackson will feature heavily in the UEFA Youth Cup if we qualify as well (the new format of 64 teams means that we will have more games in this tournament if we don't feck up in the group stage) so it makes perfect sense to have another option.

How old is he?
22 i think
Bizarre.
Should be a good signing for them, he was very good during his time here. I wonder what they are going to do with him and Reece James though. Push one up to LM or maybe Reece will move into CM. Actually just checked and they seem to play 3 at the back with Reece at LCB, so Kellett will go into the LWB spot.
What is?
He looked really good both defensively and going forward. Great buy for wigan
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but it's not worth a new one for this poor guy. It's gone from bad to worse for the poor sausage:

The writer is completely clueless to the situation of what happened. Why do they write such garbage when they evidently have no clue what they are talking about?
What actually happened than?
IIRC the time we signed him, our u21/23s didn't have a player in that position or had injury problems, that's why we loaned him.
Well the whole premise of the article seems to be to take a dig at van Gaal who had absolutely nothing to do with the deal. van Gaal didn't sign Kellett, Warren Joyce did and said so in an interview after the signing and talked about where he first saw Kellett and how he was impressed by him for Bolton's u21s.
The article says about a one year loan spell which was cut short which isn't true. We signed him in January so does this writer think we signed him on a January to January loan deal? Of course we didn't.
Strangest transfer in PL history. Well no because it was an u21s signing, not a PL signing. In fact, he had already played for two clubs that season so I'm not sure if he'd have even been eligible to play for our first team.
The signing wasn't strange anyway. We loaned Saidy Janko to Bolton and thus needed a FB replacement so Joyce insisted we get Kellett in return. He then played a key role for the u21s leading to another u21s league title.
That's all fine, but is he as shit as they say he is?
